如何阻止不存在的URL解析为文件？

Question

I don't know if this is an Apache or PHP thing but if you go to either of:

mysite.com/about
mysite.com/about/

it will show the mysite.com/about.php file instead of a 404 error, because the directory does not exist.

I am sure this is some setting, maybe an htaccess thing, any ideas?

As others have answered it might be a mod_rewrite rule; there is also a directive called MultiViews that is explicitly for enabling the functionality you describe.

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/content-negotiation.html#multiviews

The effect of MultiViews is as follows: if the server receives a request for /some/dir/foo, if /some/dir has MultiViews enabled, and /some/dir/foo does not exist, then the server reads the directory looking for files named foo.*, and effectively fakes up a type map which names all those files, assigning them the same media types and content-encodings it would have if the client had asked for one of them by name. It then chooses the best match to the client's requirements.

Look for

Options MultiViews

in your httpd.conf or virtualhost-specific config file.
