CodeIgniter .htaccess Affecting Forms - php

Question

Removing the index.php from URLs have caused my form pages to not receive POST data.
This form is on the URL http://localhost/guestbook/
The following form tag works:
<form method="post" action="http://localhost/index.php/guestbook/">
This (and leaving it blank) does not work:
<form method="post" action="http://localhost/guestbook/">
The first one does work fine, but it changes the URL the user sees to the action url - I would like to keep the index.php out of the URL.
This is my htaccess.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1/ [L]
How could I get the form to submit to the rewritten URL?

Answer 1

in config file change it
$config['index_page'] = 'index.php';
to this
$config['index_page'] = '';
may be work fine

Answer 2

Try this may help
Htaccess file will be :
<ifmodule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^system.*
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]
</ifmodule>
And make changes in Confg file application/config.php
Make $config Blank
$config['index_page'] = '';

Answer 3

Open config.php and do following replaces
$config['index_page'] = "index.php"
to
$config['index_page'] = ""
Just replace
$config['uri_protocol'] ="AUTO"
to
$config['uri_protocol'] = "REQUEST_URI"
AND IN HTACCESS FILE put following code
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
