Assuming the existent url is   http   example com index php foo bar   and we want to convert it into   http   example com foo bar   You can use the following rule    RewriteEngine on  1  redirect the client from   index php foo bar  to   foo bar  RewriteCond   THE REQUEST   index  php      sHTTP  NC  RewriteRule     1  NE L R   2 internally map   foo bar  to   index php foo bar  RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteRule         index php  1  L    In the spep  1 we first match against the request string and capture everything after the  index php  and the captured value is saved in  1 var  We then send the browser to a new url  The  2 processes the request internally  When the browser arrives at  foo bar    2rule rewrites the new url to the orignal location

The original answer is actually correct  but lacks explanation  I would like to add some explanations and modifications  I suggest reading this short introduction https   httpd apache org docs 2 4 rewrite intro html  15mins  and reference these 2 pages while reading  https   httpd apache org docs 2 4 mod mod rewrite html https   httpd apache org docs 2 4 rewrite flags html  This is the basic rule to hide index php from the URL  Put this in your root  htaccess file  mod rewrite must be enabled with PHP and this will work for the PHP version higher than 5 2 6  RewriteEngine On RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -f RewriteCond   REQUEST FILENAME   -d RewriteRule       index php  1  L    Think   REQUEST FILENAME  as the the path after host  E g  https   www example com index html    REQUEST FILENAME  is  index html So the last 3 lines means  if it s not a regular file  -f and not a directory  -d  then do the RewriteRule  As for RewriteRule formats   So RewriteRule       index php  1  L  means  if the 2 RewriteCond are satisfied  it      would match everything after the hostname    matches any single character      matches any characters and      makes this a variables can be references with  1  then replace with  index php  1  The final effect is to add a preceding index php to the whole URL path  E g  for https   www example com hello  it would produce  https   www example com index php hello internally  Another key problem is that this indeed solve the question  Internally   I guess  it always need https   www example com index php hello  but with rewriting  you could visit the site without index php  apache adds that for you internally   Btw  making an extra  htaccess file is not very recommended by the Apache doc   Rewriting is typically configured in the main server configuration setting  outside any  lt Directory gt  section  or inside  lt VirtualHost gt  containers  This is the easiest way to do rewriting and is recommended
