Removing index.php from URLS with .htaccess - php

Question

I have an index.php controller what all URLs that aren't existing files redirect to.
The .htaccess rules I currently have look like this:
RewriteEngine On
DirectorySlash Off
# Remove Trailing Slashes
RedirectMatch 302 ^(.*)/$ $1
# Remove WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302]
# Reroute to index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L,QSA]
What I want to do is use a 301 redirect if index.php is included in the URL.
BUT! I can't use RewriteBase or queries that start with a slash because the webapp I'm developing could be in a subfolder. So basically, I only want to rewrite for the current directory:
example.com/foo/index.php/bar/whatever should redirect to example.com/foo/bar/whatever
example.com/foo/index/bar/whatever should also redirect to example.com/foo/bar/whatever
localhost/place/foo/index.php/bar/whatever should redirect to localhost/place/foo/bar/whatever
localhost/place/foo/index/bar/whatever should also redirect to localhost/place/foo/bar/whatever
How can I accomplish this with .htaccess?
UPDATED CODE:
Everything here works EXCEPT:
index.php is not removed from anywhere in the URL.
Here's the code:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
DirectorySlash Off
# Remove WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
# Remove Trailing Slashes
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]
# Reroute to index.php
#RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?cURL=/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Not a good idea to mix mod_rewrite rules with mod_alias ones. Try this updated .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
DirectorySlash Off
# Remove WWW
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=302,L]
# Remove Trailing Slashes
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} \s(.+?)/+[?\s]
RewriteRule ^ %1 [R=302,L]
# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php[\s?/] [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php(/.*)?/?$ /$1$2 [L,R=301,NC,NE]
# Reroute to index.php
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?cURL=/$1 [L,QSA]
</IfModule>

Make sure you have mod rewrite on on your server try
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php)
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

Answer 3

You can use like this
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]
