How the heck do I get mod rewrite to add extensions to any file?

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1\.php [nc]

To me that should find any group of characters(such as any path) and then
add the .php to the end? But this doesn't work and gives me a server error.
If I remove the $ in front of the 1 then it does but ofcourse all my links
end up as 1.php

I can also do something like

RewriteRule ^3(.*)$ $1\.php [nc]

and all my links will be redirected to 3---.php

What I want is to take

[url] into [url].php

(without query string and or other special chars such as ([^&?]&) or [QSA])


I just can't understand why the following does not work ;/

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1\.php [nc]

$1 should be whatever is matched by (.*)? (which should be the whole url?)
In any case I can't see how its an error?

Thanks,
Jon
