Removing .php file extension with .htaccess file

Question

I want www.example.com/about.php to just be www.example.com/about

I created an .htaccess file and placed it in the root of my server. I am using linux shared hosting

Answer 1

I had this problem also, but I found that this seemed to fix the GoDaddy .htaccess problem.
