apache - put links without file extension (.php)

Question

Is it possible to configure Apache in order not to show a file extension?

For example: Say I have domain.com/page.php but want to have domain.com/page as the url.

Any Ideas?

Answer 1

Put this is your .htaccess file

#turn on url rewriting 
RewriteEngine on

#remove the need for .php extention 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

This allows you to access .php files without the extension, so your links should read

href="/somepage"

and this will direct to

href="/somepage.php"
