htaccess clean url for the profile page

When I try to do this in htaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /includes/errors/404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /includes/errors/403.php
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)$ /profile?user=$1

It works but the name I read is wrong. When I do for example http://localhost/profile/Andre I get Andre.php as user and not Andre. Does someone know how to fix this?

This happens because you rewrite according to your first rule, and since it is set as last, that's all that will happen. Try moving your profile rule above:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^profile/([^/]+)$ /profile?user=$1 [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /includes/errors/404.php
ErrorDocument 403 /includes/errors/403.php

I also added [NC,L] to mark the rule as NoCase, and Last
