File extension help removing file name .HTML or .PHP to just url.com/filename/

Hi,

I’ve been having some nagging issues with trying to figure out how to remove the .html or .php file extension. I have been finding a lot of .htaccess file extension script examples online but none of them seem to work when I create and upload the .htaccess file. I’m using GoDaddy web hosting and filezilla as my FTP but I’m sure there is a way around it. I’m still a newbie with file extensions and all. I’m sort of looking for somebody that can sort of help with this step by step if possible hehe. Am I post to be doing something with the Apache 2.2 server or saving the files in a different way. I mean as of right now I save all my files all in my external drive. But if someone could help me on this whole problem that would be great.

Thanks.

Kevin
