SEF URLs: .htaccess settings

[Malibu]

Dear Community

 

Does anybody know how to achieve the following by modifying the .htaccess file in order to output SEF URLs:

 

a) remove the file extension .php and add instead a trailing slash

Example: instead of http://www.my-domain.tld/whatever.php, new http://www.my-domain.tld/whatever/

 

b) redirect the /index.php in the root to the domain

 

Found this in another thread of the community:

 

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\s.+\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ /$1 [NE,R=301,L,NC]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]

 

But it does not add a trailing slash at the end of the rewritten files and the redirection of the /index.php in the root I've put in place is not working properly since the user can still call http://www.my-domain.tld/index although entering http://www.my-domain.tld/index.php is redirected correctly.

 

Many thanks in advance!

Hello,

 

htaccess can be a pain as some code won't work on every server.

 

I personally use the following to redirect from /index.php to / but I use it for non-WHMCS pages, it may work for you:

 

RewriteRule ^(.*)index\.(php|html?)$ /$1 [R=301,NC,L]
