I have just changed hosting providers and am having a minor problem with files matching before my mod_rewrite rules get to rewrite.

www.mydomain.com/foobar/stuff

is matching and executing foobar.php and I don't want it to.

I've tried changing DefaultType to text/plain so it wouldn't execute as php.
I've tried turning off ModSpeling in case that had an effect.

Other info: I'm using apache 2.x and php 5.2 as a fast cgi

Another question I have is what type of encoding do I need to set to get degree (°) symbols and copyright (©) to display properly. At this new host they display as '?'.
