Remove index.php is working but not for index.php?

Question

As my title said, I successfully remove index.php from URL, but apparently when I type " index.php? ", it is not working. I have googled everything but found nothing with this issue.

Here is the code in my .htaccess (I am using CI also):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$  $1 [R=301,L] 
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|resources|robots\.txt)    

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%{HTTP_HOST}/$1 [R=301,L]

Thank you in advance!

Add this rule on top of other rules to remove index.php:

# remove index.php
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} /index\.php [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*?)index\.php$ $1%{QUERY_STRING}? [L,R=302,NC,NE]

You can take your application folder out of the system folder and use this code:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^index.php/(.*)$ /$1 [R=302,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

It should work.

And from config/config.php file make enable_query_strings FALSE :

$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;
