PHP script gets called without extension

[arorap]

Hi,

I've seen a behavior on both my windows machine and a Linux server that
php scripts get called even when called without a .php extension.

for example,

http://srlchem.com/company/about.php

gets executed even when called as

http://srlchem.com/company/about

(you can actually verify by opening both those links)

Is anyone aware of this behaviour ? This works for all PHP files and
I've not put any configuration directive in place to make this happen.
Anyone has any clue why this happens ? .. What default configuration
can be making this happen ?

thank you,

regards,
-Puneet Arora.

Apache's MultiViews option is most likely - ask in alt.apache.conf iguration
for more details.

expose_php = Off

Re: PHP script gets called without extension

I don't know your exact config but I use a CLI and you can do the same w/ PHP as
you would do with Perl, that is, start the file with a line like:
#!/usr/local/bin/php
<?php
...
?>

This will execute the program same as a perl might.
