I have been using the following in a .htaccess file successfully for a while

DirectoryIndex index

<Files index>
SetHandler application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

to force a clean url by removing the ".php" from the url. i.e., www.mysite.com/index/page rather than www.mysite.com/index.php/page.

After enabling PHP5, the following is added to the .htaccess file:

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml
AddType application/x-httpd-php5 .php5 .php4 .php .php3 .php2 .phtml

to force the files with those extensions to run as PHP5. This works, except that the file "index" without the ".php" still runs as PHP4 since the AddHandler and AddType are not triggered.

Does anyone have any suggestions? (Other than adding back the file extension. That would change all of my sites URLs.)

Thanks

I did try

SetHandler application/x-httpd-php5

but it did not work. I will try the rewrite. Thanks
