Question

Making .htaccess (mod_rewrite) work has been very difficult
I already have this script for friendly url in my .htaccess file
and that works perfect

Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^article/(.*)/(.*)$ news_id.php?newsid=$1

But now I want to hide my file extension in the main navigation…
..so mypage.com/business.php will become mypage.com/Business

I was told to add RewriteRule ^business$ business.php [L]

…but it doesn´t cut it and Google has blacklisted me for searching

Could it be I have to add something to the button in my html/php file?
…this is the button
<li class="nav-business"><a href="business.php"></a></li>

I think the php-file doesn´t connect to my .htaccess but that can´t be because
this first Rewrite rule works

Any suggestions?

You might want to try something like this.To remove the .php extension from a PHP file for example yoursite.com/wallpaper.php to yoursite.com/wallpaper you have to add the following code inside the .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
