Subdirectory URL rewriting PHP

Setup

I have my file structure set up as so:

/root
   | 
   /api
      | 
      /Slim PHP framework
      index.php
   | 
   index.php

The index.php inside the Slim directory contains the routes required to retrieve the JSON data from a Mongo database. E.g.

$app->get('/users(/:id)', function($id = null) use ($app, $collection) {
     /* Do mongo search and echo json_encoded data back */
});

I have an .htaccess file contains: which removes the .php extension from files under the root.

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

Question

I can access my JSON data using url: http://localhost:8888/root/api/index.php/users. However, what I would like to do is access the data using the url: http://localhost:8888/root/api/users

One thing of note, the sequence of rules is also important, so if you need to rewrite/redirect http://example.com/users AND http://example.com/users/ to http://example.com/userinfo/ while at the same time rewriting http://example.com/users/uname to http://example.com/scripts/script.php?id=uname then this one should work: RewriteEngine on 

RewriteEngine on 
RewriteRule ^users/$ /userinfo/ [L]
RewriteRule ^users/(.*)$ /scripts/script.php?id=$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^users$ /userinfo/ [L]

There could be a better solution with one line less but this one works for me.

If I understand correctly, what about this?

RewriteRule ^api/users/(.*)$ /root/api/index.php/users/$1 [L]
RewriteRule ^api/users$ /root/api/index.php/users [L]

That should allow this URL.

http://localhost:8888/api/users/1

and it will allow this too

http://localhost:8888/api/users

EDIT:

That should allow you to add a number after users. Also shortened the URL so you don't have to include root in the URL as well.

Assuming, your .htacces is located in website root "/"

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

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/index.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?/api)/(.*)$ $1/index.php/$2 [NC,L]

This would redirect

http://localhost/root/api/users/1 => http://localhost/root/api/index.php/users/1
http://localhost/root/api/data/20 => http://localhost/root/api/index.php/data/20
