You can call it ".whatever" as long as the server knows that its really executable PHP. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure I have some .info files that hold PHP scripts for some of my sites, and they're used as includes. Most likely, that's built into Zend framework or something else I've used, or it's already set up in my Zend config files, but as long as the server configs knows what to expect it should work fine.
