How to hide file extension using .htaccess + Restricting access

Guys how to remove a file extension using .htaccess. example : file name was "/home.php"

of course after using .htaccess

it can now access using link "/home"

it is possibly to redirect using into 404 error if they visit "/home.php" instead of "/home"

Thanks!

You can just use Multiviews:

Options +Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \ /+([^\?\ ]+)\.php
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]

This redirects /home.php to /home, but you can replace the 301 in the square brackets with 404 if you insist on returning a "not found".

You can use this rewrite rule in your .htaccess to remove the php extension

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
