On my server I am using this .htaccess to remove the .PHP extension:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

And it works fine, /about goes to the about.php page and /contact to the .contact.php file. However I have a projects.php and a projects folder so the hyperlink redirects to the folder index. I understand I could simply rename either the php or folder and solve the problem, but if I have subfolders in the projects folders, I won’t be able to keep the URL as /projects/photography

    Try

    DirectorySlash Off

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/projects$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php

    It should work with DirectorySlash off, but see caveats. If you don’t like them you are better off renaming projects.php
