There are lots of ways you could achieve this, but they depend largely on your choice of web server.

If, for instance, you were using Apache HTTPD you could use:

Create a file called .htaccess ( the dot in .htaccess is not an accident ) and enter the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/(.*).php$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ %1 [L,QSA]

Then save the file and place it a the root directory of your website.
