How to remove .php extension (NOTE: I have setup 301 redirect on trailing slash)

Question

I am trying to figure out how to remove .php extension from my URL's.

I did have this setup, but recently I redirected my trailing slash URL's to clean URL's without it. i.e http://www.customlogoshop.com/logo-design/ goes to http://www.customlogoshop.com/logo-design.php

But the .php extension URL I do not want. I want it to just be /logo-design

Any help would be great please!

Options -Indexes
Options +FollowSymlinks

<Files .htaccess>
deny from all
</Files>

RewriteEngine on




RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f

RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/?$ /$1.php [L,R=301]


</IfModule>

Does not work - It just enables php, trailing link url and no trailing url. The extension does not get removed and there are now 3 url's – Luke Hall Sep 13 '15 at 21:47
