  • Check in `APPPATH.'config/config.php` file what is set for `$config['url_suffix'] = '';` option. Blank string is default. Making `$config['url_suffix'] = '';` from `$config['url_suffix'] = '.php';` would give you wanted result. But be aware, there's catch: you could break links in all view or controller files if (and I'd believe to) those are set with suffix. – Tpojka Nov 11 '17 at 15:22

You don't understand MVC pattern, there is no direct access to files within URL, everything is redirected to one page.

Full URL: http://localhost/project/home/about

root: http://localhost/project

controller: home

method inside given controller: about

Read more about MVC in Codeigniter's website: https://www.codeigniter.com/user_guide/overview/mvc.html

Or here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Model%E2%80%93view%E2%80%93controller

CodeIgniter provide Routing rules/URI Routing for this.

You can achive this by adding variable to $route array in

/application/config/routes.php file

$old_path = 'home/about'; // no need to add .php to about

$new_path='home/about'; //or about or any other name you want

$route[$new_path] =$old_path;

Now you can visit page by only

http://localhost/project/home/about

Codeigniter's mvc works as project_folder/index.php/controller/function.

If you modify this behaviour with htaccess it might collapse the behaviour of the framework.

Learn how it works and get clarified. This link might help you.

Create a file with the name ".htaccess" just ".htaccess" NOT "test.htaccess" or so. Write this code in it -> 

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

Now you can link your sites like this -> <a href="http://test/abc">Test</a>
