PHP script gets called without extension

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.

you have
multiviews
after an options directive somewhere in the relevant for that
directory.

multiviews allows apache to serve negotiated content, usually used for
internationalisation say
index.html.en
index.html.fr,
but works with any extension, once the file is internally requested any
parsing directives that apply to it are then applied.
