How to get to php pages without using .php in URL

I have a static website with files like index.php, blog.php, contact.php etc

How can I get my website addresses to work so that www.site.com/blog takes you to blog.php?

I think htaccess could do this for me, but am a php noob!

The only alternative I currently use is to create individual folders called 'blog, contact etc' which contains another index.php file inside it

thanks

If you are generating your documents with PHP, then the site is dynamic, not static.

How can I get my website addresses to work so that www.site.com/blog takes you to blog.php?

Assuming you are using Apache, turn on MultiViews

Yes, you can use mod_rewrite to rewrite all urls. The following will rewrite all non-existing files and folders to requested filename .php:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L]

Visiting /blog and it's not an existing directory will cause this rule to rewrite it as /blog.php.

Something like this should do it.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC]
