htaccess rewrite to force index.php

I have links that are in this format: http://www.EXAMPLE.com/index.php?page=pageid They are also available at: http://www.EXAMPLE.com/?page=pageid

How can I redirect the ones without the index.php filename to use the index.php part of the url?

I have other re-direct rules in my htaccess file, and they are working fine, I just don't know how to force the index.php part and include the query string as well.

Put the following rules in your .htaccess file in the root of your site

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

#only for the root directory
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/$
#if the uri is not already index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^$ /index.php    [R=301,L]

If there are still conflicts with your other rules, you can further limit this rule to just requests with a page= querystring param by adding the followind condition before the rewrite rule above

# to limit further to only the requests with a page= param
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^([^&]+&)*page=.*$ [NC]
