.htaccess rewrite url to make SEO friendly

Question

I have posted somewhat related to this topic here , but I seem not get the right answer. So could anyone help me to change the address like this:

example.com/index.php?page=something => example.com/something

and example.com/index.php => example.com

in the .htaccess file?

Try this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ([A-Za-z0-9\-]+)/?$ /index.php?page=$1 [L]
