force remove .php extension in .htaccess

i know there are many questions like "How do i remove the .php extension, so that /test/ will be /test.php" but if the user directly goes to test.php it doesnt replace the extension. So I want to replace the .php it should be /. here is the part of the .htacces I'm using:

RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule stuff\.php /other_stuff/ [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

You need to do the check against the actual request instead of the URI (which gets rewritten by other rules). The %{THE_REQUEST} variable doesn't change in the course of the rewrite engine. Try adding these rules right below the RewriteEngine directive:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(GET|HEAD)\ /([^/]+)\.php(\?|\ |$)
RewriteRule ^ /%2/ [L,R=301]
