How to redirect a page without the page extension

Question

I am currently working on a signup page and I was wondering if I could modify the URL without the .php extension.

For example, it is now

www.xyz.com/signup.php

And what I would like achieve is

www.xyz.com/signup

Now I am assuming that I might have to use the htaccess file, but I am not sure about it.

First rule will redirect from signup.php to domain.com/signup/.

Second rule will redirect internally so the URL will remain domain.com/signup/ while displaying the content of domain.com/signup.php.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

# Redirect /signup.php to /signup/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s/+signup\.php\s [NC]
RewriteRule ^ /signup/? [R=302,L]

# Internally forward /signup/ to /signup.php
RewriteRule ^signup/?$ /signup.php [NC,L]
