How do you allow index.php in .htaccess rewrite rule

At present, the .htaccess file will mask dynamic links with static links e.g. www.example.com/news/news.php?article=foo-bar will read as www.example.com/news/foo-bar/.

However, if I wanted to open www.example.com/news/ instead of www.example.com/news/index.php, it still redirects it to www.example.com/news/news.php e.g. adding ?article=index on the end.

Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
# Turn mod_rewrite on
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteRule ^news/(.*)$ /news/news.php?article=$1 [L,QSA,NC]

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

If I correctly understand your problem,
your REGEX should be ^news/(.+)$ instead of ^news/(.*)$.

+ means one or more
* means zero or more
