.htaccess - htaccess code to remove extension AND add+force trailing slash?

Question

I'm trying to put together some htaccess code that will turn example.com/filename.php into example.com/filename/ (and force the slash) - I've tried varous approaches, but each hasn't worked quite right, from 500 errors on subfolders to issues with the trailing slash, etc...

Please help!

Try this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET /[^?s]+.php
RewriteRule (.*).php$ /$1/ [L,R=301]

RewriteRule (.*)/$ $1.php [L]

The first rule redirects requests of /foo/bar.php externally to /foo/bar/. And the second rule rewrites requests of /foo/bar/ internally to /foo/bar.php.

And to force the trailing slash, try this rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule .*[^/]$ $0/ [L,R=301]
