.htaccess RewriteRule - problem with paths with the same name as image files

Hi,

I have got a quite strange problem which appears on my new hosting (trusted company). I have never had problems with the rule below on my previous hostings and I didn't change anything.

I am using for example:

RewriteRule ^example$ example.php [L]

Code (markup):

and I have files example.php and example.jpg in the same directory root. When I open the page www.example.com/example then example.jpg is loading instead of example.php (the real content php page with image)

Do you know how to correct it without changing image file place to other folder (images are already indexed in Google with old path)?


Greetings

 

Problem solved: I disabled MultiViews at the beginning of .htaccess file:

Options -MultiViews
