Remove .php extension from subdomain URLs?

[asiek]

I pretty much want to remove .php from the end of each url in browser address bar and when linking to different pages… I found a post on css-tricks but it didn’t help :( I also used this//

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php

but neither worked…

To be more detailed I created a subdomain. http://example.com/test

Created a new directory within the subdomained titled “games” http://example.com/test/games

inside of that directory I created two more directories titled “findnclick” and “1” http://example.com/test/games/findnclick and http://example.com/test/games/findnclick/1

inside of the “1” directory I have multiple files labeled: index.php start.php + header.php & footer.php

When I create a link from index.php to start.php the url reads: http://example.com/test/games/findnclick/1/start.php

Which isn’t attractive at all…

What code can I place into my .htaccess file to remove the ugly extension from links and address bar url?

htaccess file

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/test" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php

@traq I’ve already tried to use “pretty URLs” but when I click the link it directs me to my main website’s home page…

@traq CMS as in wordpress?
No. I just uploaded the files through FTP to the subdomain directory:
/public_html/test/games/findnclick/1…
the url should originally be test.example.com
but I redirected it to example.com/test

@traq If I am understanding correctly…then yes I do.

Full .htaccess file//

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/test" [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)/$ $1.php

After adding this//

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^test\.example\.com$ [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.test\.example\.com$
RewriteRule ^/?$ "http\:\/\/example\.com\/test" [R=301,L]
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)/?$ $1.php

and changing urls to:
example.com/test/games/findnclick/1/start

The link just directs me to my main website’s coming soon page…
