remove .php permanently from url [duplicate]

Question

I want to remove .php extension from my url, so I edited .htaccess to add this code

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

And the code works fine but only when I intentionally remove .php from the URL and I want it to be an automatic process so is it possible?

What do you want to happen exactly if user heads to http://example.com/foo.php? An external redirection? A 404 status code? — Álvaro González

It worked for me:

# To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]

'forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php' that's not what he asked.

Are you redirecting to '*.php' in your code? It will of course, append the .php. Remove it and it won't add the extension.
