Creating our Pages

First, we are going to create our sample pages. Create the ff files and paste the codes below it. index.html
  1. <!DOCTYPE html>
  4.         <meta charset="utf-8">
  5.         <title>How to Remove .html and .php Extension in the URL using .htaccess</title>
  6. </head>
  8. <a href="login">Login</a>
  9. <p>This is the index Page</p>
  10. </body>
  11. </html>
login.php
  1. <?php
  2.         echo "This is the Login Page";
  3. ?>
  4. <!DOCTYPE html>
  5. <html>
  6. <head>
  7.         <meta charset="utf-8">
  8.         <title>How to Remove .html and .php Extension in the URL using .htaccess</title>
  9. </head>
  10. <body>
  11. <a href="index">Home</a>
  12. </body>
  13. </html>

Creating our .htaccess File

Lastly, we create our .htacess file. Create a new file, name it as .htaccess and paste the below codes.
  1. <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  2. RewriteEngine on
  3.  
  4. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  5. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
  6. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
  7. #RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\/?$ $1.php [NC]
  8.  
  9.  
  10. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  11. RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
  12. RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html
  13. #RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\/?$ $1.html [NC]
  14.  
  15. </IfModule>
That ends this tutorial. Happy Coding :)
