If you’re using that code in your .htaccess, that will affect all .php files in that directory. If you have .php files in other folders, you will just have to create a new .htaccess in each separate folder and paste all of the code that is in your main .htaccess.

This will fix all of the .php extensions and make all pages SEO friendly. No other code is necessary.
