RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

If you go to example.com/test/ it will load example.com/test.php

For hat you should define an entry point.

Then you can rewrite your URLs to a parameter of a specified file in that case the index.php.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?url=$1 [NC,L]

Then you can filter that parameter in your script and show the correct content.

You have an URL something like:

www.example.de/test-test

Then everything is rewritten to your index.php. Other possibility if you rewrite to an existing file. You can do something like this:

RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

Then you fetch everything behind the slash and call an existing PHP file.
