Another htaccess question

[MPC]

I have a bunch of files that are php.

I was able to set them to rewrite without the extension. For example, to access domain.com/example.php you can type domain.com/example/. However, the php path still works and I want to avoid duplicate content. How do I redirect the php path to the non php path? Here's my htaccess:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L]

I should clarify something. I know I can setup the 301 redirect for each URL with the code below:

RewriteRule ^example\.php$ http://www.domain.com/example/ [R=301,L] 

But I didn't want to do all of them one by one. Let's say I have 100 of these files, I was hoping for a way to redirect them all with one line of code.

Completely untested but:

RewriteRule ^([A-Za-z0-9_-]+)\.php$ http://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]

doesn't seem to work. Accoring to firefox, I've somehoew created a redirection loop. Does that mean that I can't redirect a file to it's rewritten version?

For example, the code below will take domain/file.php and allow the URL to be domain/file/ (in other words, both URLs will work).

RewriteEngine On
Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ $1.php 

# Forces a trailing slash to be added
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(\.[a-zA-Z0-9]{1,5}|/)$
RewriteRule (.*)$ /$1/ [R=301,L] 

Since I don't want the domain/file.php to be active, I add a redirect to domain/file/ in order to avoid duplicate content.

RewriteRule ^file.php$ domain.com/file/ [L,R=301] 

After adding this line, if I point my browser to domain/file.php it times out in IE and Firefox says it's looping.

Boooo! Sorry man! I'll give it some more thought. Hopefully someone else can chime in!

PS: Do you have any rules upstream in the htaccess file that may be executing first?

[MPC]

just edited my response with the full code. There's nothing else in the htaccess.

I'm pretty sure TPB has something for this he's posted before, hit him on PM

This is what Cheryle gave to me, I think I may do what you're looking to do.

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