I need to be able to rewrite a specific page so that the .php extension is removed:
http://www.mywordpresswebsite.com/my-landing-page.php
to:
http://www.mywordpresswebsite.com/my-landing-page
http://www.mywordpresswebsite.com/my-landing-page/
Again, I need to remove the extension for one file in particular, not every file.

For WordPress users that want to remove the extension for a specific file, make sure to include it before the index rewrite rule, so it can match it. This works to remove the .php extension from a specific file (validation.php) in a Wordpress Environment (note how I added the rule after <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
), making yourwebsite.com/validation works.
# BEGIN WordPress
# The directives (lines) between "BEGIN WordPress" and "END WordPress" are
# dynamically generated, and should only be modified via WordPress filters.
# Any changes to the directives between these markers will be overwritten.
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteRule ^validation$ validation.php [L]
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress
