Is it needed only for /Experiments/login/login.php file or for all the php files in /Experiments/login/ directory? — anubhava

Insert this rule just below RewriteEngine On line:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/Experiments/login/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^([\w-]+)/?$ Experiments/login/$1.php [L]

# remaining rules go below this
