remove trailing slash from URL in htaccess

Question

I have my htaccess configured to work in conjunction with a URL Router I\'ve written in PHP. I\'m trying to remove a trailing slash if seen from the URL except the root url

Answer 1

Insert this rule just below RewriteEngine On:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/$ /$1 [R=302,NE,L]

Answer 2

For those who are still running into this problem, I solved mine by adding a question mark just after the slash before the dollar sign, like this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1 [R=302,NE,L]
