Using .htaccess and mod_rewrite to not require file extensions in php pages [closed]

Hopefully a quick URL rewrite question for you all.

I've got a page on my site: http://www.sample.com/whatever.php

and i'd like to be able to navigate the site without typing .php

so http://www.sample.com/whatever would show the same thing.

I'd like this to work for any file in the root directory, so users could use the extension or not.

Any thoughts?

As suggested in the comments above, I solved this issue using Apache's MultiViews

Adding the following to my .htaccess file did the trick:

Options +MultiViews
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php

I'd say this should do it

htcaccess:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
RewriteRule whatever$ whatever.php
