Weird .htaccess problem

[ncwdavid]

Hey, I was following this little tutorial about how to make search engine friendly urls without using mod_rewrite:

http://www.tutorio.com/tutorial/php-alternative-to-mod-rewrite-for-se-friendly-urls

Everything is fine except for the .htaccess file. I copied it and pasted it and changed the "something" to my PHP page which is "tricks.php" and now when I go to my site I get this 500 Internal Server Error.

When I remove the .htaccess file from the directory my site loads as normal. All that is in my .htaccess file is:

<FilesMatch "^tricks$">
<ForceType application/x-httpd-php >
</FilesMatch>

I have also tested this on my local server "WAMP 2" and I get the exact same problem. Any ideas? Thanks

It should be:

ForceType application/x-httpd-php

(without "<" and ">")

I knew it would be something simple as always. Thanks for the help.
