htaccess remove .php and .html from url

Question

I have a problem whereby google has indexed some pages with the wrong URL.

The URL they are indexing is:

http://www.example.com/user/emp.php

and HTML URL:

 http://www.example.com/login.html

I need it to redirect to:

http://www.example.com/user/emp

and HTML URL:

http://www.example.com/login

here is my .htaccess file

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

The better way to do this: Let Google recrawl your site. Here is a good answer how to do this: stackoverflow.com/questions/9466360/… — Oliver

First check, if there exists an appropriate target ending in .html or .php, then rewrite to that URL

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

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

There's no need for the NC flag, because the patterns do not contain any case specific characters.

Replace it with this code in your htacess file.

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

And please remove .html and .php from all your links which you are calling for example.

    <a href="index.html">Home</a>

     To

      <a href="index">Home</a>

Why removing .html from the link is actually confusing to me. the rewriting happens from the server side. How come that relate to removing .html from the link?

Make sure you have the mod_rewrite module is installed, Check the output of phpinfo(); function to confirm. I think the following .htaccess is fine. Place the htaccess in the root of your application.

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

Duplicating the non-working rules doesn't answer the question.
