This is an example of how I use ForceType. It may not be a fix for
you, but you never know.
<Files *>
ForceType application/x-httpd-php
</Files>
<Files *\.*>
ForceType None
</Files>
This will catch all files without an extension and process them as
PHP. Then all files with an extension will be processed as normal. My
guess is any file with a '.' in the name will also get caught, but
then again, I'm the one uploading files to my server, and I know that
:]
