Parse a specific file with no extension as PHP

[haku]

I want to parse a specific file as php, but I need to have that file with no .php extension on it. I can't use another extension either. For example, I have a file named 'index', not 'index.php', just 'index'. It has some php functions in it. Is there a way to set my .htaccess to process this one file that way?

You can use Mod rewrite, rename the index file to index.php first then apply the following rewriterule:

 

RewriteRule ^index$ index.php [NC,L]

 

Calling mysite.com/index will call index.php

Thanks for the assistance. I couldn't use a .php file extension though for security purposes. I managed to do it this way:

 

<Files filename>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>

 

where 'filename' is the name of the file without an extension.
