PHP File without Extension

[login365]

I currently have my PHP files in the form:

http://www.domain.com/myfile.php?var1=val1

I want it so I do not have to use the ".php" extension, so it is in the form:

http://www.domain.com/myfile?var1=val1

I have seen this in so many other places and it would make URLs that little bit easier. I believe it can be done by modifying the ".htaccess" file, but I cant find help anywhere.

Any help is appreciated.

TIA,

Mike

mod_rewrite

Giving the following in .htaccess will also do the job if u dont want to use mod_rewrite as suggested by bubblenut

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

Cool, that's a new one to me. Thanks Jayant. It would be preferable to mod_rewrite in terms of performance as well. I'm assuming you can glob it? ie.
<Files *>ForceType...

yeah u can use wildcards.

i think performance will be same in both.
