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

## To internally redirect /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [L]

the above works as far as removing .php from all of my urls. is it possible though to remove all parameters after the url if they exist? for example, rewrite site.com/index.php?id=24 to site.com/index

Answer 1

Add a ? after the %1:

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

When there is a ? in the target URI of a rewrite rule, the rule won’t append the query string unless there’s a QSA flag.
