I am using .htaccess file for url rewriting . I've written all pages with .php extention and to hide them i am using this code 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^([^\.]+)$ $1.php [NC,L]`

But this hides when i write "www.example.com/abc.php" to "www.example.com/abc" . I want them to change automatically like when i click on a link 

<a href="example.php">example</a>

then page link should open like "www.example.com/example" not "www.example.com/example.php"

Also how to hide "?var="hello" from all pages but variable should be sent to that page is that possible ?.

UPDATE

For example here i am using this 

<?php 
if(isset($_GET['hi'])){
echo $_GET['hi'];
}
?>
<a href="a.php?hi=sdsdsd">a</a><br>
<a href="b.php">b</a><br>
<a href="c.php">c</a><br>
<a href="d.php">d</a><br>

I want what ever the page is should be accessed without extension and query string should be hided but must be accessed.

Use this .htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

# Unless directory, remove trailing slash
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ http://example.com/folder/$1 [R=301,L]

# Redirect external .php requests to extensionless url
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^(.+)\.php([#?][^\ ]*)?\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(.+)\.php$ http://example.com/folder/$1 [R=301,L]

# Resolve .php file for extensionless php urls
RewriteRule ^([^/.]+)$ $1.php [L]

For hidding ?val you should use POST instead of GET. And take a look on this article for .htaccess he has defined good in here.

Regarding hiding the query string. When the php page runs it can first check for a query string. If one is found you can pull the data out of the query string, store it somewhere (session probably) and redirect to the page with no query string (and no file extension for that matter).

However if you do this you're obscuring most of the benefits of using a query string.

This means i cant hide query for whatever the page is by .htaccess ??
I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. I edited my answer. You can't remove the query string in the server, then it won't be available to the script and you'll loose that data. But you can let the script hide it.
here you can stackoverflow.com/questions/21892542/… but we have to specify each page there . I want whatever the page is should automatically hide query strings

To remove the php extension completly, you can use :

 RewriteEngine on

#1redirect "/file.php" to "/file"
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /([^.]+)\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [NC,L,R]

#if the request is not for a dir
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

 #and the request is an existing php file
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 #then rewrite the request to orignal php file
 RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/?$ $1.php [NC,L]

Hiding .php extension is resolved but hiding query string is not resolving @Starkeen
@sharefun do u want to discard the query strings from urls?
No variable should be accessed to whatever functionality they are made for but it should not seen on url . Its functionality should be their
@Sharefun its not possible. You need to rewrite your variable , forexample ?var=foo to /foo , so that variable can be internally rewritten.
