Htaccess – remove .php extension and keep query – Apache

I’ve tried to remove the .php extension and keep the id query parameter, but I get a 404 error.

This is the URL:

example.com/folder/file.php?q=123

And I want it to be:

example.com/folder/file/123

Here is my .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^$1/(.*)$ /$1.php?q=$2

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

    This would internally rewrite the URL from /folder/file/123 to /folder/file/123.php, which is obviously going to result in a 404. It would be preferable to test that the corresponding .php file exists, rather than testing that the request does not already map to a file.

    I’m assuming the q URL parameter always takes a numeric value.

    Try the following instead:

    # Rewrite "/folder/<file>/<123>" to "/folder/<file>.php?q=<123>"
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+)/(d+)$ $1.php?q=$2 [L]

    The NC flag is not required.

    RewriteRule ^$1/(.*)$ /$1.php?q=$2

    This rule doesn’t make sense and is redundant.

    Assuming last path component makes query parameter q, you can use this rule:

    RewriteEngine On

# ignore all files and directories from rewrite
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^ - [L]

# Add .php extension and use last component as parameter q
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+)/([w-]+)/?$ $1.php?q=$2 [L,QSA]

# Add .php extension
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
