Question

I am guessing this question has been asked many times, but i could not find one that would perhaps give me what I need.

So.. I can access the scripts by the following url’s:

http://website.com/index.php/hello/world
http://website.com/hello/world

Both go to index.php which parses the input (hello/world in this example).

this is my .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>

However. When the site is accessed like this:

http://website.com/index.php/hello/world

the RewriteRule outputs something similar to index.php?path=index.php/hello/world

I want to remove that index.php after path= in the RewriteRule

Your .htaccess file should look like this (notice the new rule that checks if index.php is a part of url):

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
Options +FollowSymlinks

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ index.php?path=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*) index.php?path=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

</IfModule>
