…then all you need to do is write your links like
and not like
and use the .htaccess snippet @ChrisBurton link to. “`example.com/pretty`” is what the user will see in their address bar when they click on it; “`example.com/pretty.php`” is the page Apache will serve.

right – as I said, it’s a touchy/inefficient “solution” to a problem that doesn’t exist. This is nothing against @AWKM; it’s just not a good idea in the first place.
(also, it shouldn’t be all on one line like that: it should look like this in your `.htaccess` file:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET (.).php HTTP
RewriteRule (.).php$ $1 [R=301]
RewriteRule (.)/index$ $1/ [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} /$
RewriteRule (.)/ $1 [R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !/$
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
