Why do non-existent pages give 200 responses?

• 0
  The site has pages like site.ru/some_page.php
  but no page like
  site.ru/some_page.php/many_different_symbols
  and in theory a 404 page should open at this URL, but instead the server gives a 200 response and opens
  site.ru/some_page.php/many_different_symbols
  (only the site is static and all paths are relative - scripts, styles and pictures are not displayed).
  How to get a 404 response from such pages or redirect them to a 404 page.

  Adding the AcceptPathInfo Off directive to the .htaccess file didn't help in my case.
  
  But the following rules helped, maybe someone will come in handy:
  
  To cut off everything after site.ru/some_page.php and get the existing page:
  
  RewriteRule ^ (. * Php) /.+$ / $ 1 [R = 301, L]
  
  
  
  Or to get a 404 page:
  
  RewriteRule ^ (. * \. Php) \ / (. *) $ /404.php [R = 301, L]
