How to get the current filename without the extension with htaccess? - php

Question

I have the following code:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.co
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^[^.]+\.(domain\.co)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ /somefile.php [L]
The bit that says somefile needs to be the filename that the user is on without the extension. So if they are at example.com/file, then file should be retrieved.
I have tried using the code below but it doesn't seem to work:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^domain\.co
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^[^.]+\.(domain\.co)$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ /$.php [L]
The bit that says .php in the rewrite rule should not be part of the filename retrieved and is manually added.
If there is no way to do this without getting the extension, how could this be done regardless of the extension?

Answer 1

You can add this rule above your existing rule to add .php extension:
RewriteEngine On
# add .php extension if corresponding .php file exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !domain\.co$ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule !/$ /somefile.php [L]
