URL rewrite to .php

[ce90]

Hello everyone,

hopefully this is the right place to ask and is not a duplicate question.

I'm pretty new to processwire, so... if this question is kind of funny for some of you, you're welcome ? 
I have the following issue and can't find anything understandable about it. Maybe I'm searching the wrong way, but anyways.. here is my question:

How is it possible to rewrite the URLs, that I'll get a *.php ending?

Example:
https://www.mysite.de/urlsegment/ -> https://www.mysite.de/urlsegment.php
https://www.mysite.de/urlsegment/urlsegment/ -> https://www.mysite.de/urlsegment/urlsegment.php

Because I've read a lot about "Why do you wanna do this or have that?" – here my answer for that in advance:
I've built a processwire installation inside or around an existing website. Therefore, we want to keep the existing *.php Google entries. Sure, we could redirect via 301 Redirect, but would prefer to keep the *.php ending.

If you have further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Best regards

That would most likely be done in the .htaccess file.

But understand that when ProcessWire updates itself, it might/will over-write your .htaccess file.

Have you tried this:

https://processwire.com/talk/topic/45-url-schema/?do=findComment&comment=150

"ProcessWire will support .html extensions. You just have to make them your page names, i.e. "about.html" rather than "about", or look for them in urlSegments. I've actually done this before, though for specific pages (like /sitemap.xml), not on a site-wide basis. But I don't see any problem with it  conceptually."

This might can be done via a .htaccess rewrite rule. I recommend asking this question on stackoverflow.com or https://serverfault.com (more server centric)

I'd be happy to hear more about your setup to get a better context ?

As @szabesz mentioned, why not simply add the .php to the page name and disable "Should page URLs end with a slash?" in the template? Just tried, works well. You may even have a /index.php...

@Autofahrn & @szabesz thank guys! This works like a charm! ❤️

Didn't even know about that possibility ? In my opinion? This is the way to do it!

Thanks again.. I appreciate it!
