Remove .php extensions with .htaccess without breaking DirectoryIndex
3 answers
Is it possible to remove the .php part from all of my URLs using a .htaccess file?
Two examples:
http://url.com/home.php
http://url.com/shops.php
Become:
http://url.com/home/
http://url.com/shops/
All the help would be massively appreciated.
This should work:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \/([^\/]+)\/$ $1.php
It will serve you the file named after the last segment of the url:
http://example.com/shops/shopname1/ -> shopname1.php
http://example.com/shops/ -> shops.php
To rewrite /$var/ into /$var.php and then redirect /$var.php into /$var/ just use these directives in your .htaccess file:
# once per htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+)/? /$1.php
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+).php$ /$1/ [R]
And if you also want to rewrite the specific URL /shops/shopName1/ into the specific URL /shopName1.php and then redirect /shopName1.php into /shops/shopName1/ then you should use this code below instead the code above:
# once per htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+)/?$ /$1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName1.php$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+).php$ /$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName1/?$ /shopName1.php
RewriteRule ^shopName1.php$ /shops/shopName1/ [R]
But remember there's no variable on /shops/shopName1/, give it a try, if you want..
It seems there's a problem about redirection with DirectoryIndex home.php
. But I think, this is the code that you want, but in this time, we excluded any redirection:
DirectoryIndex /home.php
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName1/?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName2/?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName3/?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName4/?$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName5/?$
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)/?$ /$1.php
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName1/?$ /shopName1.php
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName2/?$ /shopName2.php
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName3/?$ /shopName3.php
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName4/?$ /shopName4.php
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName5/?$ /shopName5.php
Just use your logic to add more conditions and rules..
I would suggest to simply stop using regular .php files for pages and instead of a framework or a request router, however if you really do want to do this, then in order to get shops.php
to shops
you need to create a .htaccess file and add the following to it:
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
This will rename all of the something.php
to something
on the URL bar.
An example of a complete .htaccess
file would be:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^/(home|shops) /$1.php
second only manual
RewriteRule ^/shops/shopname1/ /whateveryouneed.php
