Why apache take files php like folders or virtual url?

I have a site with the URL https://example.com/file.php. I don’t use URL friendly, frameworks, etc. But I see that google take duplicate content from my website, but with URL that not exist like:

https://example.com/file.php/file2.php
https://example.com/file.php/file3.php
https://example.com/file.php/file3.php/hihi/other/other2.php   (status 200)

But that URLs does not exist. In both cases show me the content from file.php. I delete my .htaccess because I think I have some bad rule, but is not that.

Please help me…. 🙁

    That the default behaviour for PHP. It’s useful when implementing the Front controller pattern as you can inspect the full path through the $_SERVER superglobal.

    Make use of the canonical link to avoid duplicate content in search engines.

    As @Quentin has already pointed out – this is the default for PHP. Or, more specifically, the Apache handler that processes PHP, allows path-info (additional pathname information on the URL) by default. Plain text/html files do not allow path-info, unless explicitly enabled.

    For example, given the following URL:

    https://example.com/file.php/<anything>

    Where file.php is a physical file on the filesystem, then /<anything> is the additional pathname information. And is available to PHP through the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] variable.

    However, you can disable this in .htaccess with the AcceptPathInfo directive:

    AcceptPathInfo Off

    Now any URL that contains path-info will trigger a 404 Not Found.
