Question

I need to rewrite url only one directory named gallery.
I would like to have abc.com/photos/gallery/picture/ instead of abc.com/photos/gallery/picture.php

.htaccess
index.php
/photos
    /gallery 
        index.php
        picture.php
        functions.php
/videos

Here is my code to .htaccess but it doesn’t work.

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^/[.*]/?$ photos/gallery/$1.php#{QUERY_STRING} [NC,L]

Answer 1

Enable mod_rewrite and .htaccess through httpd.conf and then put this code in your .htaccess under DOCUMENT_ROOT directory:

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /gallery/foo.php to /gallery/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(/+gallery/[^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]

## To internally forward /gallery/foo to /gallery/foo.php
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(gallery/.*?)/?$ $1.php [L,NC]
