删除.php扩展名无效

Question

I found a lot of tutorials and questions regarding to removing the .php extension in the URL. I have tried a lot of examples and until now it is still not working. This drives me crazy. I also want to put trailing slash at the end of the URL but first I would like to achieve this first. Currently I have tried this which is some of my solutions:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

and also this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

Nothing is good. I am working in my laptop using windows 7, and using XAMPP. I simply created my .htaccess file and put it in localhost/myFolder. When I run in the browser, depending on my solution, (i) some times I got page not found, (ii) sometimes server internal error. Also when I run for example localhost/myFolder/index the URL will be redirected to localhost/index without myFolder. I wonder why is this happening and hope somebody can give me links or solutions because I tried so many of them. Thank you in advance.

The following works fine for me:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /myFolder
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*[^/])/?$ $1.php [L]
