PHP extensions not working from web directory while .html extension is

Question

I have a Codeigniter install with a directory 'sandbox' at root. In sandbox i have document 'poster.html'. If i change this document's extension to .php, I get a CI 404 error. If i leave it as .html it works!

Edit: I just confirmed that .php extension does not work from any of the excluded directories like: css/ or scripts/ . Here is what the .htaccess file at the root directory looks like:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|sandbox|css|scripts|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]

Current root directory structure:

application/
system/
css/
sandbox/
scripts/
.htaccess
index.php

Check short / long tags in php.ini. Try changing your tags in the PHP file from <? to <?php. — DevlshOne

please post your directory structure, is the CI setup in root? / and then from root you have a folder called /sandbox ? If you can access a css/scripts file you should access a file in sandbox — Jakub

I believe your issue is either you have a typo somewhere, or you have a ROUTE conflict. I just recreated this with a new 2.1.4 CI install and created a sandbox folder with a php file in it.

I can confirm it is working 100%. Double check your spelling. You shouldn't be getting a CI 404 page for the /sandbox/ folder based on your .htaccess

As an alternate debug approach, turn up your ci logging and check the /application/logs for detail on what is it throwing a 404 on.
