removing .php extension with htaccess?

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
If you have read the user guide you will know that you dont need to do this. You simply call the root folder (the folder containing system/) and it will load it for you.

http://sitename.local/welcome

will call the file

http://sitename.local/CodeIgniter_1.5.4/...elcome.php

but you dont access it directly or you lose the ENTIRE benefit of having the framework there. Dreamweaer doesnt understand this and so will treat it like normal PHP (meaning loads the page with the extention).
