Removing .php with NGINX in ISP Config

Hello!
After many many attempts at achieving this I did have some luck editing the .vhost file for the individual website, however this suddenly resets at random times which isn't particularly reliable.
I would like to remove the .php extensions on my URLs for my website mjdws.com, however I don't want it to affect all websites as each one has individual needs which vary.
How would I go about adding a working piece of NGINX code to the site to make this work?
Examples preferred : )
Thanks in advance!

 

When putting it in as an NGINX directive it bugs and downloads each page as an NGINX file instead - can you suggest an NGINX snippet that would work successfully? And how come after changing the vhost ISP Conf will reset it?

 

Hi!
I tried to use

Code:

location / {
    try_files $uri $uri.html $uri/ @extensionless-php;
    index index.html index.htm index.php;
}

location ~ \.php$ {
    try_files $uri =404;
}

location @extensionless-php {
    rewrite ^(.*)$ $1.php last;
}

But it fails to work despite working if pasted into the vhost, any ideas?

 

I think it’s quite clear that this was not intended to be rude.

I am not using a CMS - I have built the website with PHP and I’m hosting it on ISP Config on Digital Ocean using NGINX.

I hope this now makes more sense.

 

It doesn't actually. If you did write your own code, why you need to code its file with php extension at all?

I can google where you get the code to remove file with php extension as well as anybody else but we cannot assume anything unless we have all the relevant facts disclosed.

Any forum rules will say not to bump within 24 hours unless you are familiar with any forum at all. If you wish to have much better support, then subscribe and post in specific board for subscribers as in there you will have faster response. Otherwise, pay respect to each and every members that are trying to help freely as I do agree with @Th0m.

 

I’m unsure what you mean in that first paragraph suggesting that I do not code the file with the PHP extension? Without an extension a file will not work as intended and will revert to acting as a plain text file. For this reason I want to clean the URLs up and instead of having something such as example.com/about.php I’d prefer to have example.com/about. This means the files can remain as .PHP but the server can interpret it the same without the .PHP extension being present.

This seems to work everywhere else I’m aware of but faces errors when pasted into the NGINX directives on ISP Config. I have googled it and I’m not able to find any alternatives.

Hoping that maybe someone on this forum has had a similar experience or has some more experience and would be able to give me some guidance as to what I am doing incorrectly so that I can resolve the issue I’m facing.
