How to get rid of index.php in codeigniter?

I was creating my first codeigniter project. I like this framework very much. But is there anyway to remove index.php page from the url ? Beside .htaccess ? Like i using form helper class to generate form. with this code

<?= form_open('site/login'); ?>

And the URL came out

<form action="http://localhost/index.php/site/login" method="post" accept-charset="utf-8">

It would be great if somebody share how to do it. Thanks

RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /
# Hide the application and system directories by redirecting the request to 
index.php
RewriteRule ^(application|system|\.svn) index.php/$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [QSA,L]

That won't remove it from the output of form_open().

If you use .htaccess to reroute the requests, make sure you also set the index_page in your config file to an empty string.

$config['index_page'] = '';

With my index_page config item set to '', the form_open() method doesn't put an index.php in the form action URL.

Its not possible without .htaccess, but why havent you got access to this? you can put it in the directory of the index.php to have your desired effect.

Because I don't like dead links, I will quote the official documentation:

Removing the index.php file

By default, the index.php file will be included in your URLs:

example.com/index.php/news/article/my_article You can easily remove this file by using a .htaccess file with some simple rules. Here is an example of such a file, using the "negative" method in which everything is redirected except the specified items:

 RewriteEngine on RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] In the above example, any HTTP
 request other than those for index.php, images, and robots.txt is
 treated as a request for your index.php file.
