remove file extension from url

.htaccess (file extension)

# The following will allow you to use URLs such as the following:
#
#   example.com/link
#   example.com/link/
#
# Which will actually serve files such as the following:
#
#   example.com/link.html
#   example.com/link.php
#
# But *only if they exist*, otherwise it will report the usual 404 error.
