Apache mod_rewrite remove a folder in url and php extension

Hey,

I am trying to make my url a bit prettier with apache mod_rewrite.

  • html (root)
    • css
    • js
    • layout
    • sites (folder)
      • profil.php
      • work.php
    • index.php

At the moment my url looks like this:

https://example.com/sites/profil.php

https://example.com/sites/work.php

And I want that it looks like this:

https://example.com/profil

https://example.com/work

How can I can I overwrite the “sites folder” so, there is none and is it possible to remove the .php extension?

Thats how my apache config looks like:

<VirtualHost example.com>
DocumentRoot /var/www/example.com/html
ServerName example.com
ServerAlias www.example.com
<Directory "/var/www/example.com/html">
allow from all
Options None
Require all granted
</Directory>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =example.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_NAME} =www.example.com
RewriteRule ^ https://%{SERVER_NAME}%{REQUEST_URI} [END,NE,R=permanent]
</VirtualHost>

Do I need to edit my links after that change in my files?

    Here are your mod rewrite rules 

    # Rewrite --- https://example.com/sites/profil.php => https://example.com/profil
RewriteRule ^profil$ sites/profil.php [NC,L]

# Rewrite --- https://example.com/sites/work.php => https://example.com/work
RewriteRule ^work$ sites/work.php [NC,L]

    enter this into your .htaccess in the right location and give it a try.
