In addition to this being a dupe - a simple google search would have answered this. I find it astounding that people think its easier to post a question here asking for help than it is to type a generic search term into google. http://tinyurl.com/lweo7ge - the first two search results are from this very website. — Dutchie432, May 20 '13 at 10:58

You would have found this link if you did even a basic google search.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L, QSA]

RewriteEngine On

    # Unless directory, remove trailing slash
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://example.com/folder/$1 [R=301,L]

    # Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
    RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://example.com/folder/$1 [R=301,L]

    # Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
    RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]

Will this work? It seems to me that this will just rewrite from the same url entered. I don't see any PHP subbing going on. – Dutchie432 May 20 '13 at 09:56
Yes, it will. $1 will take care of extension – Sudz May 20 '13 at 10:02
Im not sure I understand. `$1` represents whatever is in the URL. if the URL is `/test` - at what point does the `.php` get appended? Wouldn't it just rewrite from `/test` also? Im not trying to be a a wise guy - I just really like the simplicity and am curious how it works. – Dutchie432 May 20 '13 at 10:56
