How to keep url_suffix from automatically being appended to links?

Hrm... the fact that anchor() appends this is probably, generally, a good thing. Since the ".php" extension existence is the requirement of an outside service, it might make sense to re-engineer your setup to only react to that one condition, probably through mod_rewrite rules. Changing this line in your .htaccess or httpd.conf from

Code:

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

to

Code:

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

might do the trick, but you probably have to go to greater lengths to get it to work, and might want to specifically single-out the requesting server that requires the ".php" extension. Basically you're saying, "route anything like xxxxx.php to index.php/xxxxx." Don't know if this would mess up the valid index.php requests or not...
