I have learned about this code the hard way. Someone had hacked into one of my sites and added those lines to the top of some pages. People kept getting redirected to other pages.

Hi Martin, I have been using PHP redirects all the time since I am not good in my Regex codes for doing .htaccess redirects. I was wondering if you can modify the code you have and also redirect URLs with the "/index.html" to "/" only without causing an endless loop.

Here's how to remove the index.* - without looping:

# take out the index.php in URL...
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^/]+/)*index\.(php|htm|html)\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^(([^/]+/)*)index\.(php|htm|html)$ http://%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]
