removing .php extension with htaccess?

I'm not sure you guys are understanding the dilemma, even thought it is minor, it still sucks. When I load controller files from dreamweaver directly it throughs the whole path in there (hence the Codeingiter-1.5.4...). If I remove that bit using an .htaccess it screws up the part where it removes the index.php (code from taht wiki to handle getting rid of "index.php").

Maybe it's the order I'm doing things in the .htaccess file, or I'm not setting up the conditions right. Either way I'm just going to leave i, since it's more trouble then it's worth. I'd rather get the hang of using codeigniter first.
