How can I rewrite .php files properly?

[Joergi]

Hallo Matthias!

Thanks for your post, it brought me on the right track! Additionally, I
found the MediaWiki ShortURL Builder at https://shorturls.redwerks.org/.
>From there I added a few more {deny all;} rules.

And the result seems to be working now!

Thanks again ... und viele Grüße

Jörg
