.htaccess无法正常工作 - 从URL中删除.php文件扩展名

Question

I'm having trouble removing the .php file extensions from URLs using the .htaccess file.

Previously, all pages were HTML and I had successfully rewritten URLs to drop the .html extensions, but it just doesn't seem to be working for .php — I'm just getting 404 errors.

.htaccess Contents

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.brianglassmandesign.com/404.php

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^brianglassmandesign.com [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.brianglassmandesign.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]

# Remove file extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]

Answer 1

There is no reason as to why the files are not being picked up, giving consideration to the fact that the only change you made was the extension. As such, I recommend that you double-check to see if the file being requested actually exists, and has been renamed from the old .html equivalent.

The only .htaccess suggestion I can offer that is an alternative to what you have is the following:

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

This means that the rewrite will only occur if the file exists. So, if you request /something and /something.php exists on the file-system, then it will be served accordingly.

Failing which, you'll need to check the relevant logs to determine what the problem may be.
