Rewriting question

Hello,

I would like to have my website accessed just by the filenames without
their extension, especially for the php pages. So let's say I access the
page www.website.tld/mypage then it will redirect me to
www.website.tld/mypage.php. How can I do this with the rewrite rule ?

Thanks for your help

Regards

Thanks I had a look and made up the following rewrite rule:

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [redirect=301]

Unfortunately this doesn't work when the / page gets called as when I
enter www.domain.tld it rewrites it to www.domain.tld/.php the same
problem arises with accessing subdirectories of the webroot.

Does anyone have an idea how I can fix this ?

Regards

stop rewriting things that end with a '/' (not tested, because this
man-page (http://www.pcre.org/pcre.txt) is sooo long ;-)

RewriteRule ^([^.]+)[^/]$ $1.php [redirect=301]

I had a quick try at it and from the concept it's good but unfortunately
it somehow removes the last letter from the url: so if I enter for
example www.domain.tld/apage it gets rewritted like this:
www.domain.tld/apag

note the missing "e" at the end...

Strange behavior... Any other guesses ?

yes, my last answer was wrong.....

you should rewrite:
www.exmple.com/test ==> www.exmple.com/test.php
and
www.exmple.com/test/ ==> www.exmple.com/test/index.php

start reading http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/mod/mod_rewrite.html
again ;-)

i know i have to read them some day too.... ;-)
(but only when i find the need to use it meself...!)

Why use rewrite? Use "Option Multiviews". See content negotiation.
