redirect from index.php to root

[gullsinn]

i need your help please
i need to redirect from
index.ph
index.php?
index.php?/index
as these three URL are have same content and google indexing every listed above separately
so i want them to redirect root directory using .htaccess 301 redirect

thanks

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ /? [R=301]

The regular expression checking for your various index files means -
the file name string
^ (starts with) index.ph p? (followed by an optional p) $ (at the end - nb: query strings aren't matched and are normally automatically appended to the replacement)

The replacement file name string (not a regular expression)
/ (root) ? (discard any query strings)

The switch (not a regular expression)
[R=301] (Redirection - Moved Permanently)

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^index.php?$ /? [R=301] 


this redirects every thing back to root so with this no one will be able to surf web

I tested it, again, and it works.
It redirects

from
index.ph
index.php?
index.php?/index
...to redirect root directory using .htaccess 301 redirect

I appreciate the rep' - Thanks for your help index redirection problem resolved

Why do you think this redirects every thing back to root
How does this mean no one will be able to surf web

Does everything on your site revolve around index.php and a query string?

Uncle yes it was working fine when i put this
but after half an hour when i go back to site it was redirecting all subpages to root

it is because subpages inclueds index.php for example

OK. Try

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on

RewriteRule ^index.ph$ / [R]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !(.+)
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /? [R]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \/index
RewriteRule ^index.php$ /? [R]

This will redirect plain index.php to root as well. I don't think that will matter.

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.example.com/
