I have a site that i have got to build, and the folder structure is as follows-

Folder name

index.php

about.php

contact.php

…..etc

Note that all the pages are present in the same directory itself.
Now to the question- How can I make it possible for the URLs of all the pages to not show .php at the end?
for reference-> domain-name.com/about instead of domain-name.com/about.php and the same for all the pages

i have tried messing around with the htaccess file but if i search for a page without the php extension it loads the index page

So far i have tried using this but to no avail

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

what i need is-

1. the php extension should not be visible on the url
2. if i search for a page without the php extension the page should work like intended and not lead to index file
