Removing "product.php" in URL using .htaccess - .htaccess files are extremely useful in many cases for users who either do not have root permissions or for users who simply aren't comfortable in making changes in their web server's configuration file. Trying to debug .htaccess not working isn't always the easiest thing to do, however, hopefully by checking the discuss below mentioned about htaccess, url, , , .htaccess common problems as well as the troubleshooting tips, you'll have a better grasp on what you may have to modify to get your .htaccess file running smoothly.Problem :

The current URL: http://www.example.com/product.php/sample-product.html.

I want change it to: http://www.example.com/sample-product.html

Solution :

You can remove it with URL Rewriting like that :

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteBase /

        RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-f
        RewriteCond %REQUEST_FILENAME !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /product.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

Place this code in .htaccess at root.

Additionally, if you would like to do some further testing, give the htaccess tester tool a try. It allows you to specify a certain URL as well as the rules you would like to include and then shows which rules were tested, which ones met the criteria, and which ones were executed.
