Why does Apache execute php file on calling file without extension
apache, apache2, php
Solution
This happens because of MultiViews (it's enabled somewhere in the "Options" for that directory).
Have a look here: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/content-negotiation.html#negotiation for details on how it works.
Problem
Today I found a strange thing on my server. I created a php file (test.php) and wrote some php codes inside it. then I call it using ``` http://127.0.0.1/test ``` and the "test.php" executed ! How does it understand to run test.php when there is no .php ? there is no htaccess file on my root directory to tell the apache do that. I guess it may causes security problem. How can I prevent it ? My OS is ubuntu and the web server is Apache2.
