htaccess redirect for not existing files - .htaccess

I want to redirect on my website if a file does not exsist as .php file but it does as .html file. For exmaple:
If page.php does not exsist i want to redirect to page.html
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ /default.php [L]
So far i managed to redirect to default.php if any file does not exsist. How can i redirect to the html file if one exsists and how do i limit this on redirection on php files ?

I have always been a fan of explicit and transparent rules:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/?$ /$1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^/?(.*)/?$ /$1.html [L]

Double RewriteRule on .htaccess

I did a php blog and I would like to have friendly SEO urls for my posts, and also remove .php extension from my urls. So I edited my htaccess file like this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?id=$1 [N]
#second condition and rule
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
So I got my friendly SEO post urls but the second condition doesn't work. But it works when I use it as my first condition. What I did wrong ? Thanks a lot for your help
Keep first rule as .php handler rule but that should check for presence of .php file as below:
RewriteEngine On
# if not a directory and file.php exists then rewrite file to file.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
# rewrite every non-file or non-directory to viewpost.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ viewpost.php?id=$1 [L,QSA]

After url rewrite, the system adds the extension

With the following rules in my .htaccess, the system adds a .php at the end of my url's.
RewriteEngine On
# Removing extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^app/([^/]+)$ app.php?module=$1 [L]
Why ?
Thanks.
Have your first rule add .php only after checking if .php file exists:
RewriteEngine On
# add extension
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^.]+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^app/([^/]+)$ app.php?module=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

Change full url path with .htaccess

I want to change page url with .htaccess my url is 'page.com/web/' and I want to have just page.com. Could you give me htacces code. for example
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /?$1 [L]
Try this :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

How to hide my .html and .php extensions using .htaccess?

I have this .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ ./$1.php
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ ./$1.html
The problem is: Its just hidding .php
Shouldn't it hide .php and .html?
Change your rules to:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.html [L]
1./ your html files are still accessible because your second set of rule will never be used. Besides, your second line specifically tells the server to leave "real" files aside.
2./ You only need RewriteEngine On once .
3./ You should use the flags to tell your rewriting when to stop.
RewriteEngine On
# if the requested file does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
# if the requested folder does not exist
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
# sends all urls except home to its corresponding php file
RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ ./$1.php [R=301,L]
But if you want it to work for all file extensions, remove the first rule, leaving only.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([a-z,0-9,A-Z,_-]+)$ ./$1.php [R=301,L]

rewrite to another file if .php file not exists

I'm using the following rule to serve the associate .php file
All last directory pathname will go to the associate .php file
Ex. /about/ or /about will go /about.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php`
So when I use http://example.com/abc it points to /abc.php, this is working fine. But if /abc.php file does not exist in that directory then I like to forward that to /listing.php file. How can I do that? please help
Also, I need this to apply to the root directory only. means
http://example.com/..*here*.. not for any subdirectory.
Thanks
Try this, this should be tested:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $0\.php !-f //check if (for example) abc.php not exists then
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /listing.php
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
Update: I tested this on my local server, note that: the folder is test you can adjust for your own
Options All -Indexes
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /test
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond test\/$0\.php !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ listening.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php
