Append * to extentionless URL path

  1. I, personally, avoid using extensions like .php in my URLs. For example:
  2.  
  3. http://www.example.com/contact
  4.  
  5. http://www.example.com/contact.php
  6.  
  7. Not only does the first URL look cleaner, but if I decided to switch languages, it would be less of an issue.

  9. So how does one implement this? Here is the .htaccess code I found works best:
  10.  
  11. # If requested URL-path plus ".php" exists as a file
  12. RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
  13. # Rewrite to append ".php" to extensionless URL-path
  14. RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*[^.]+)$ /$1.php [L]
