Use URL rewrite login into login.php

Answer 3

I accomplish this with .htaccess -- This allows http://exmaple.com/whatever.php to be seen as simply http://example.com/whatever:

Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine on

# skip all files and directories from rewrite rules below
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# add php if possible
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]

# rewrite other to index.php file
RewriteRule ^ /index.php [L]

Answer 4

To remove the .php and .html extension in the url and make website.com/login.php or website.com/login.html display as website.com/login add the following code inside your .htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

</IfModule>
