I'm looking for a way to simply remove ".php" from a url while ignoring everything after the .php
So example.com/test.php/foo/bar
would become example.com/test/foo/bar
and then in the PHP template I can search for and utilize foo or bar as I please. Everything I've found to remove .php interferes with the variables at the end.
UPDATE: I've found some success by removing .php from the file name and then using ForceType
. Although It'd still be nice if I could keep the .php extension so my Code Editor knows how to highlight the syntax :)
<FilesMatch "^test$">
ForceType application/x-httpd-php5
</FilesMatch>
Update 2 Here's a RewriteRule that I've tried using to some success, but when I add a trailing slash and some content after, it results in a 500 internal server error
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# remove .php; use THE_REQUEST to prevent infinite loops
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ (.*)\.php\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
# remove index
RewriteRule (.*)/index$ $1/ [R=301]
# remove slash if not directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]
# add .php to access file, but don't redirect
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L]
