hiding the ".php"

[telisjok]

im using this code to hide the .php extention but it does not work..

# Replace ".php" by ""
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

any suggestions? why doesnt it work?

i want to mention that the root folder of my website where the index.php and everything else is, is the httpdocs and not the public_html
does this make any difference?

1. Why are you trying to hide the .php extension?

2. Why is your site in httpdocs instead of public_html?

3. Why specify index.php in the first place? It should work without. If it doesn't, see 2 above...

What does that have anything to do with the original question?

To the OP,

(1) are you sure you have mod_rewrite turned on on your server? (Also, where's the RewriteEngine On line in your .htaccess file?)


(2) Your second RewriteCond is saying if the requested file is not a file (by virtue of !-f), I think you meant to say if the requested file is not a directory by using !-d).
