How to hide file extension in browser bar?

Question

htaccess

Hello, I googled on this issue, everywhere they force this code:

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

But it does not work for me, on an open server. The .htaccess file is correct, what's the matter?

Answer 1

As far as I remember, although apache is present in openserver, it is, as it were, not used by default. Instead, nginx is launched. You need to either switch to Apache, or do the same, but with nginx configs and not Apache ones. .htaccess is purely Apache stray. There is no such thing in Orthodox nginx.

Answer 2

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

example from google. - I think you're missing a slash

Answer 3

This code is not "forced" anywhere because it is meaningless.
Like the "hide file extension" task itself.
If your task is to make "beautiful" (they are also "human-understandable") addresses, then you should write it this way and look for the code for this task.
