Exclude file extension

Question

I recently moved my site to a new host and I now have to include the .php file extension to all php files when navigating them. With my previous host, I was able to get to them either way.

http://example.com/myphpfile.php

or

http://example.com/myphpfile

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this so I don't need the .php extension to navigate to the page?

Thanks!

if you have access to .htaccess

create an .htaccess file in the directory you want to enable this in, and in that file type

SetHandler php-script

that should force all pages to process as PHP for apache

for future/similar reference hits on this... `AddHandler php-script .html` will force PHP to process html files – Dave Sep 17 '12 at 18:54
This doesnt seem to work. When I added this, it actually downloads the .php file to the users computer. – Jake Sankey Sep 17 '12 at 19:14

Solved it I guess. Having this in .htaccess seems to work.

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
