You'll have to use RewriteRule
with the rewrite engine enable to do this. Create a empty file named .htaccess
and put it in the base folder of your website and type this in to the file:
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^aboutus$ about_us.php [L]
Make sure to enable the mod_rewrite
module in your Apache server in order to make this work properly. Read more about rewrite in Apache here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html
You have to create some rules in .htaccess, in you main folder you have a file named .htaccess (if it's not available you have to create one) and put these rules.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.domain\.com
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.php\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
How to remove .php extension using URL Rewriting / mod_rewrite
I hope this might be helpful to you.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule about_us.php(.*)$ aboutus?$1 [L,QSA]
