Hi Folks - is there a an easy way for me to rewrite the following

www.example.com/thing.php

to

www.example.com/thing

??

I did a search or two but couldn't find a consistent method. I have used a folder named thing with an index.php file before now, but need a cleaner method for an indexed site that needs some careful SEO.

Cheers, Limbo

Found a simple one for simple .php removal:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L,QSA]

For Apache: URL rewriting

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9\+]+)/?$ $1.php

that should do it. but have a play.

I've found this cheatsheet pretty useful for getting your head round the basics.
