Htaccess: Can't rewrite an URL

Question

Premise: I hate htaccess

I have to redirect or rewrite an URL: I want that this URL

http://www.example.com/en.php

become

http://www.example.com/en/

For example: clicking a link like <a href="en">English</a> I want that it navigates to the page en.php but showing the url http://www.example.com/en/

I've tried this, but doesn't work

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymlinks
  RewriteEngine On
  RewriteRule ^/en/ http://www.example.com/en.php
</IfModule>

First of all, have you enable mod_rewrite on your server? And allow overwrite in your virtualhost configuration? — 蒋艾伦, Jul 04 '13 at 09:21
If all configuration set, please check this post about how to omit .php in your url http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4026021/remove-php-extension-with-htaccess — 蒋艾伦, Jul 04 '13 at 09:22
The leading / gets stripped off the URI to match, and the trailing / can be made optional: `^en/?$` — Phil Perry, Dec 31 '13 at 17:47
