I need some help with my Htaccess code.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ $1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.*)/ $1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1\.php [L,QSA]

My Directory Structure is:

Public_Html

  css/style.css
   img/icon.png
   /2/user.php
  index.php
  create.php

Now the above htaccess code is removing the .php extension from the URL.

Examples

 -> example.com/index.php -> example.com/index
 -> example.com/2/user.php -> example.com/2/user

Problems with this Htaccess File

1. I want to hide the index too Example: example.com/index -> example.com

2. If user types example.com/index.php then he should be redirected to example.com

3. If user type things which do not exist then it should point to example.com

   Example: example.com///*/// -> example.com

4. When it removes the .php extension then a trailing slash should be added to the end.

Example: example.com/create.php -> example.com/create/

5. If a user wants to access create.php and enter /create without / at the end then it should be automatically added.

   Example: example.com/create -> example.com/create/

In other words, if after removing .php these both works as same

**Example:** example.com/create = example.com/create/

6. But user should still be able to access the directory

   Example: example.com/2 -> example.com/2/

   Here 2 is a folder.

I have some problem with this htaccess script. I searched a lot on Google and Stack Overflow but still can't find any solution.

Here is everything you need, all questions are answered with code, information, and examples! Providing 1 by 1 step for what each does and then the whole code!

1-) Resolving .php extension

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

example.com/user.php will be working if you go to example.com/user

2-) Redirecting wrong links that don't exist to example.com

If a user types a link which doesn't exist, for example, example.com///*, the user will be automatically redirected to example.com

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

3-) Redirect example.com/index.php or example.com/index to example.com

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index(\.php)?[/?\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index(?:\.php)?$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

4-) Remove trailing slash if it is not a directory else add

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]

If you have a trailing slash added after a normal file, this will remove it. If it is a directory and has, it will remain. If it doesn't have, a trailing slash will be automatically added to it.

You will be able to access directories!

5-) Removing .php from URL ( Redirect to file name without .php )

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.(php|cfm)[\s?] [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.(cfm|php)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NE]

The whole code together for .htaccess

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index(\.php)?[/?\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index(?:\.php)?$ /$1 [L,R=301,NC,NE]

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \.(php|cfm)[\s?] [NC]
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1\.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.(cfm|php)$ /$1 [R=301,L,NE]

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

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    Options -MultiViews
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]
</IfModule>

I hope this has helped you.

Happy to help, enjoy!
