.htaccess URL Rewrite Help for .php extension

I am new and beginner for URL Rewrite... I need to remove .php extension for these pages for menu links.

<ul class="nav">
      <li><a href="index.php">Home</a></li>
      <li><a href="about.php">About</a></li>
      <li><a href="services.php">Services</a></li>
      <li><a href="rates.php">Rates</a></li>
      <li><a href="contact.php#main">Contact Us</a></li>
 </ul>

I am using the following code for .htaccess file

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  Options +FollowSymLinks
  RewriteEngine On
# Remove .php-extension from url
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php
# End of Apache Rewrite Rules
 </IfModule>

For example:

localhost/websitename/index.php

to

localhost/websitename/index

localhost/websitename/about.php

to

localhost/websitename/about

localhost/websitename/services.php

to

localhost/websitename/services

localhost/websitename/rates.php

to

localhost/websitename/rates

localhost/websitename/contact.php#main

to

localhost/websitename/contact-main

But the following Rewrite Rule is showing the result like this

localhost/websitename/services.php

to localhost/services ........... ERROR: Page not Found . . . . . so on and on...

What I am doing wrong? How can I achieve this simple URL Rewrite?

For hiding .php extension replace your code with this:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]

# To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/gta/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /gta/$1.php [L]

Looks like you're just missing part of the path to your file on disk:

  RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ websitename/$1.php
