Rewrite all queries to not need the .php extension using a mod_rewrite RewriteRule

Question

I\'d like all queries like

http://mysite.com/something/otherthing?foo=bar&x=y

to be rewritten as

http://mysite.com/some         


        

Answer 1

This works:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.+$
RewriteRule ^/?([^/\.]+)$ /$1.php [L]

The idea is to make sure there's a query string (question mark plus stuff) and if so check if the stuff before the question mark has no extension and if so, append .php.
