Using mod_rewrite to remove index.php completely

Question

I'm looking for a way to remove any file name that is index.php from the URL. The main reason I want to try and do this is because I have directories with "index.php" in them. So instead of getting...
http://localhost/members/index/
I am hoping to achieve something more like...
http://localhost/members/

The code below is currently what I have in my .htaccess file.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^GET\ /[^?\s]+\.php
RewriteRule (.*)\.php$ /$1/ [L,R=301]


RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule (.*)/$ $1.php [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule .*[^/]$ $0/ [L,R=301]

I really appreciate the help and any suggestions! Thank you so much and God bless!

If all you want to do is 'remove' index.php from your URLs then you just need to ensure Apache knows that index.php can be used as a directory index.

DirectoryIndex index.php

You can put that in your Apache config, VirtualHost or .htaccess file.

Just use this:

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*index.php.*

That's it ;)
