301 redirecting *.php to non-*.php - regex

I'm trying to make it so requests to http://www.domain.tld/folder/filename.php get 301 redirected to http://www.domain.tld/folder/filename (ie. no php) and am having some difficulty doing so.
Here's my .htaccess:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.php$
RewriteRule (.*) $1.php [L]
RewriteRule (.*)\.php $1 [L,R=301]
First RewriteRule works as I'd expect. Second... not so much.
As written requests to http://www.domain.tld/folder/filename.php get 301 redirected to http://www.domain.tld/home/username/public_html/folder/filename
If I change that last RewriteRule to do /$1 instead of $1 I get directed to http://www.domain.tld/filename and not http://www.domain.tld/folder/filename.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Keep your .htaccess like this for hiding .php extension:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## hide .php extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.php to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php[\s?] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=301,L]
# To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]

What is the right htaccess code for Php 7.4 redirect?

Can someone please help me redirect the php pages to html (only in the root directory, without subfolders)? I tried dozens of solutions, but I didn't succeed. The code below redirects everywhere (including in subfolders...) I don't want the subdirectories to be affected.
My domain: https://www.example.com/
Thanks in advance!
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com$
RewriteRule (.*) https://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.php$ /$1.html [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.html$ /$1.php [L]
</IfModule>
<FilesMatch ".(ico|css|flv|js|gif|jpeg|png|woff|woff2|eot|svg|ttf|webp)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public, no-cache"
</FilesMatch>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301,NE]
Have it like this:
RewriteEngine On
# add www.
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$
RewriteRule ^ https://www.%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L,NE]
# external redirect to .html from .php request
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^([^./]+?)\.php$ /$1.html [R=301,L,NC,NE]
# internal rewrite to .php from .html if corresponding php exists
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)\.html$ $1.php [L,NC]
<FilesMatch ".(ico|css|flv|js|gif|jpeg|png|woff|woff2|eot|svg|ttf|webp)$">
Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public, no-cache"
</FilesMatch>
Note that [^./] will match any character that is not a dot and not a / thus matching only in root directory skipping all sub directories.

HTACCESS Treat important directory as a parameter

I want directory www.example.com/core to be translated into string, instead of just dissalowing access to it. is that possible?
UPDATE (STILL NO LUCK):
My current .htaccess
#Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
#Remove the comments below to enable enforcing HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteBase /public
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ launcher.php?urls=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule . launcher.php [L]
Here are some scenarios:
I write a url www.example.com/some-dir-that-does-not-exist and it works fine.
I write a url www.example.com/url-that-DOES-exist and the browser redirects it to www.example.com/url-that-DOES-exist/?url=url-that-DOES-exist
That is due to mod_dir module adding a trailing slash in front of real directories and making a 301 redirect after your rewrite rule.
To fix have it like this:
DirectorySlash Off
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /public/
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /launcher\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ - [F]
#Remove the comments below to enable enforcing HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
# add a trailing slash to directories
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1 -d
RewriteRule ^(.*?[^/])$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [L]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ launcher.php?urls=$1 [QSA,L]
Your code will become:
#Options -Multiviews
RewriteEngine On
#Remove the comments below to enable enforcing HTTPS
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]
RewriteBase /public
# Treat existing /core directory as non-existing (handled by launcher.php)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/core(/.*)?$
RewriteRule . launcher.php [L]
# Handle Front Controller...
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
#RewriteRule ^(.*)$ launcher.php?urls=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule . launcher.php [L]

.htaccess Rewriting url

I'm trying to rewrite the url with .htaccess file but it throws an error in some situations.
I've been trying to convert
example.com/room.php to example.com/room and it works, but also, to convert
example.com/room.php?room=5 to example.com/room/5
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Remove the trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Redirect page.php to page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]
# Internally redirect page to page.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*?)/?$ $1.php [L]
RewriteRule ^room/(.*?)$ /room.php?room=$1 [L,NC]
And it successfully converts room.php to room, buy when I try to visit room/5 it gives me 500 Internal Server Error. I've tried everything but still don't know what the problem is.
Have it like this:
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
# Remove the trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ /$1 [L,R=301]
# Redirect page.php to page
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]
RewriteRule ^room/([^/]+)/?$ room.php?room=$1 [L,NC,QSA]
# Internally redirect page to page.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ $1.php [L]

.htaccess internal redirect not working

I tried doing some .htaccess redirects for internal pages but they are not working for me. This is my .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule articles articles/how-to-play-piano [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]
</IfModule>
I also tried this outside <IfModule> but not working:
Redirect 301 http://www.domain.com/articles http://www.domain.com/articles/how-to-play-piano
and
Redirect 301 /articles http://www.domain.com/articles/how-to-play-piano
Your regex is wrong for articles rule and will cause infinite looping. To fix that you need to use anchors ^ and $:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.domain\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^articles/?$ articles/how-to-play-piano [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.html !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}/index.php !-f
RewriteRule . index.php [L]

.htaccess to remove .html causing redirect loop

My .htaccess file is creating a redirect loop. I have searched online and tried lots of varieties including many from this site but still can't get it to work. The purpose of it is to remove the .html from the end of the URL.
Here is my code:
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}/ -d
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.html$ /$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}.html [QSA,L]
Replace all of your code with this:
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
## hide .html extension
# To externally redirect /dir/foo.html to /dir/foo
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s(.+?)\.html?[/?\s] [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1? [NE,R=301,L]
# To internally forward /dir/foo to /dir/foo.html
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/$1.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.+?)/?$ /$1.html [L]
## append trailing slash if needed
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule [^/]$ %{REQUEST_URI}/ [R=301,L]
