... I know its due to the way my Apache is setup (not rewrite rules) but the following always works for me: http://www.somedomain.com/doit runs http://www.somedomain.com/doit.php -- apache just does its magic - I believe its to do with the DocumentIndex apache conf setting (i.e. Apache makes use of the extensions found there) - please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Your conditions are as follows: 1. reqeusted filename is not a directory: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 2. reqeusted filename is not a file: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f If all above matches, put ".php" at the end: RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1.php So it has nothing to do with DocumentIndex. All that is necessary is to request a file that does not exist on the server even if you add ".php" at the end: /foo - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php /foo.php - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php.php /foo.php.php - neither file or directory, rewrite to /foo.php.php.php ...etc. The problem is ^(.*)$ matches everything. Try ^([^.]*)$ - no dot in url
