Which is part of the reason I don't use it anymore. When I first started
using that method I don't think I was aware of mod_rewrite
There is another method I have used which allows you to keep the
filename extension on the original file, using aliases, and you can
still make it "look like a directory":
Alias /foo /path/to/foo.php

I've always hosted the sites I do this sort of stuff on on my own
servers, or servers I manage. But as I mentioned I wasn't originally
aware of mod_rewrite or the power and flexibility you have with it. The
other nice thing with mod_rewrite is you don't have to bother writing
code to parse the uri.
