Rewrite URL : remove sub folders and file extension from URL

I am trying to remove .php file extension and folder && subfolder from URL if they exist.

Case 1

Input:

127.0.0.1/project/folder/alfa.php

output:

127.0.0.1/project/alfa

Case 2

Input:

127.0.0.1/project/folder/subfolder/beta.php

Output:

127.0.0.1/project/beta

Here is what I have got so far :

Removing just extension works fine, having problem with removing folders

# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^((?! folder/).+?)/?$ folder/ [L,NC]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [QSA,L]

Please advice Thanks.

Based on your clarification in your comment on your question - this will be hard to handle dynamically via RewriteRule alone.

Consider this:

How is Apache to know that /project/beta maps to /project/folder/subfolder/beta.php while /project/alfa maps to /project/folder/alfa.php?

You could hardcode these like so:

RewriteRule ^project/beta/? /project/folder/subfolder/beta.php [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^/project/alfa/? /project/folder/alfa.php [QSA,L]

If this isn't feasible due to a large number of rules that would be required here I would attempt to solve this via a script. Something like this:

If the requested resource is not a file or directory send it to a script. Then have the script search a target directory structure such as /project for all php files that match the second portion of your masked URL (the alfa / beta part). If only one file is found require it in order to run it.

You can use the following regex to capture the required fields from URL. Then use captured values 1, 2 to generate the output.

([0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\.[0-9]*\/[A-Za-z0-9]*).*(\/.*)\.php

You can see the demo here. It captures the address and parent folder in 1 and filename in 2.

Note : I have considered the address to be ipv4

You can have this .htaccess inside /project/ directory:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /project/

# rewrite to folder/subfolder/
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/project/folder/subfolder/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ folder/subfolder/$1.php [L]

# rewrite to folder/
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/project/folder/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ folder/$1.php [L]
