Add .php extension with URLs Using .htaccess

Question

I want to redirect my website URLs with .php extension currently all URLs are opening with and without .php

example

https://www.ranglerz.com/about.php
https://www.ranglerz.com/about

The both URLs are working now but I want if user open https://www.ranglerz.com/about it will redirect to https://www.ranglerz.com/about.php

here is my htaccess code

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

I've tried all solutions that provided in different threads but nothing is working with this problem.

If you want to redirect the user, then you need to do that. Currently you only rewrite the requests internally. Please read the documentation of apaches rewriting module: httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html — arkascha

You can use:

Options -MultiViews

# Redirect to .php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^ %{REQUEST_URI}.php [R=301,L]

using both conditions. I'm only getting URLs without extension

but i can use it without .php extension. Thanks for it

can you please guide me the purpose of "Options -MultiViews" line in this condition

The Apache docs on mod_negotiation, describes what the Multiviews Option does, when enabled (what you should avoid in your case).
