hide php extension in url

http://php.net/manual/en/security.hiding.php

    So far I haven't seen a working rewriter of /foo/bar into /foo/bar.php, so I created my own. It does work in top-level directory AND subdirectories and it doesn't need hardcoding the RewriteBase.

.htaccess

    RewriteEngine on

    # Rewrite /foo/bar to /foo/bar.php
    RewriteRule ^([^.?]+)$ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]

    # Return 404 if original request is /foo/bar.php
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[^ ]* .*?\.php[? ].*$"
    RewriteRule .* - [L,R=404]

    # NOTE! FOR APACHE ON WINDOWS: Add [NC] to RewriteCond like this:
    # RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} "^[^ ]* .*?\.php[? ].*$" [NC]
