• how remove file extension website address? 11 answers

i have build few sites website. end .php. problem if want view page have type in website.com/page.php instead of website.com/page how make happen of main pages? there quick way of doing or have set forwarding of /pages /page.php?

in cases achieved using mvc framework , routing. works in way don't access single .php file single web page show user. every request goes through 1 file , have router define routes , define action controller route invoke, , there choose view file show user. hard explain in few sentances. anyway using mvc nice url-s www.example.com/controller/action/param

now if want remove .php extension files can put in .htaccess file:

rewriteengine on rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_filename}\.php -f rewriterule ^(.*)$ $1.php 

but other hiding .php, wont good.

the best thing can read mvc frameworks, routing , front controller pattern, , take there, not nice url-s, there's more gain! , if want hide .php extension use above code.

hope helps!
