Super .htaccess file

[eluser]Xeoncross[/eluser]
I was just going over this file when I realized that it can be improved.

Code:

# If the file is NOT the index.php file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !index.php
# Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ index.php?/$1

# If the file/dir is not real
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]

Shouldn't we be able to check to see if it has a PHP extension instead of just point everything to the index.php file?

Code:

# If the file/dir is not real
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

# Hide all PHP files so none can be accessed by HTTP
# If they are accessing a PHP file
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}\.php -f

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [QSA,L]

Is this the right way to do it?
