htaccess remove .php and .html from url

Question

I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong URL.

The URL they are indexing is:

http://www.example.com/user/emp.php

and HTML URL:

 http://www.example.com/login.html

I need it to redirect to:

http://www.example.com/user/emp

and HTML URL:

http://www.example.com/login

here is my .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

The better way to do this: Let Google recrawl your site. Here is a good answer how to do this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9466360/how-to-request-google-to-re-crawl-my-website — Oliver, Mar 20 '17 at 10:36

First check, if there exists an appropriate target ending in .html or .php, then rewrite to that URL

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.html -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [L]

There's no need for the `NC` flag, because the patterns do not contain any case specific characters. – Olaf Dietsche Mar 20 '17 at 13:48

Replace it with this code in your htacess file.

     RewriteEngine On
     RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
     RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]

And please remove .html and .php from all your links which you are calling for example.

    <a href="index.html">Home</a>

     To

      <a href="index">Home</a>

Make sure you have the mod_rewrite module is installed, Check the output of phpinfo(); function to confirm. I think the following .htaccess is fine. Place the htaccess in the root of your application.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.html [NC,L]

Duplicating the non-working rules doesn't answer the question. – Olaf Dietsche Mar 20 '17 at 13:50
