.htaccess - how to replace url?

Question

PHP

www.domain.com/php/index.php
With the help of mod_rewrite you need to convert this to the form
www.domain.com
Here is what I did for an example:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule index.php php/index.php [L]

However, this only works if
www.domain.com/index.php is crooked
. But the point is clear, I think.

Answer 1

Add
DirectoryIndex to index.php before the rewrite
Or do you want it to work for more than just the index.php file?
