php - Htaccess Redirect being Ignored -

i have strange problem google indexing unstyled version of homepage. uri results in problem "root host"/index.php/"subpage". example www.website.com/index.php/photos cause problem.

to rectify i've created following htaccess directive redirect permutation of url homepage:

rewriteengine on rewritecond %{request_filename} !-d rewritecond %{request_filename}\.php -f rewriterule ^(.*)$ $1.php [l]  redirect 301 /index.php^(.*)$ / 

the redirect works, reason first section causes redirect ignored.

redirect directive not support regex. looking redirectmatch .

redirectmatch ^/index\.php/(.*)$ /
