All of my pages end in .php, I need these pages to still be able to run PHP even though the extension has changed in the url bar. I want a page like

website.com/page.php

To

website.com/page

I have looked at half a dozen work arounds to this problem but none of them seem to work. Here are some examples.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule !.*\.php$ %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php [L, QSA]

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule \/([^\/]+)\/$ $1.php

# once per htaccess file
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+)/?$ /$1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/shopName1.php$
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9-_]+).php$ /$1/ [R]
RewriteRule ^shops/shopName1/?$ /shopName1.php
RewriteRule ^shopName1.php$ /shops/shopName1/ [R]

Hide the .php Extension

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond /%{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-\s]+)/$ /$1.php

Explanation How this work

Ans. This rule will match url.com/path/ and check, if url.com/path.php exists. If file exists then process ahead to rewrite rule apply.

Currently I used this rule Work perfect, Hope this help you!

Updated

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

in the above code the -d define for Directory and -f for Regular File.

This rule will same as above but its support Alphanumeric URL. The above code is Tested and Work Fine with my server files.

Example: If your filename is "www.url.com/path1.php" then your may access this file directly with "www.url.com/path1".

+1 for making sure that the filename can (nearly) only be alphanumeric, as opposed to "Try This"
@AustinBurk thank you for your comment but check 3rd line rules a-zA-Z0-9 so its work not only alphabetic but also numeric url work fine. unfortunately i'm not try this in my existing url so i'm not give you surety.
@AlexPelletier thank you for testing numberic url not work. alphanumeric work great. oky i will create regexp for supporting numeric and alphabetic both are work.
all of my domains alphanumeric though? I will test again. Tested and i get my 404 page
@user1153551 What I meant as 'nearly alphanumeric' was that it include hyphens as well as a-z,A-z, and 0-9. Again, regex is not my forte, I'm probably wrong

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

Care to explain to OP what this will do?
This does work, but I would love to see how this work?
It takes the directory name as an argument /example and simply tries to run a PHP file with that name. example.php I feel like this could lead to to directory traversal, that regex may match any name (take that with a grain of salt, regex isn't my forte.) . What about "example.com/ls ~ && index"?
if example.com/sample is entered it searches for example.com/sample.php (it is case insensitive). If a folder exist in that directory is called example2, avoid naming a file example2.php, else if example.com/example2 is entered, it will fetch example.com/example2/
@AlexPelletier if it solves your problem, mark it as your answer

Just make a directory called page and rename page.php as index.php and put in in /page. If you need dynamic directories (like /product5 runs details.php?productid=5), then an .htaccess solution would be useful.
