Apache Configuration Question
Some Pages without .php extension Mod Rewrite
So I have this site, It has a directory structure like this:
- index.php
- page1.php
- page3.php
- folder/index.php
- example/index.php
- page4.php
I want to remove the .php file extension only from the URLs that are not in a subdirectory. Because If I remove the .php from all the URLS like so:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
The files in subdirectories like which were previously accessible by this URL: https://example.com/folder now give a 404 unless I enter index.php or file name at the end of it.
So I want to know the following:
- How can I remove .php from only a select few targeted files so that the files in a folder/subdirectory are not affected?
- How can I change the above .htaccess code so that it does not target the files that are in a folder/subdirectory?

If you want to add .php extension to only files in site root then use:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)/?$ $1.php [L]
Here negated character class [^/.]+ will match only file in current directory as it matches 1 or more characters that are not / and .
However if you want to correctly add .php to all files then use this rule:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
