Do I need to add 301 redirects when using htaccess to prettify a URL – SEO

I use this simple rule to remove index.php from my site’s URLs : 

RewriteRule ^.*$ ./index.php

So that http://example.com/index.php/user/me becomes http://example.com/user/me.

Do I need to add [R=301] to avoid ‘content duplication’ issues from an SEO point of view?

    You can add this rule to avoid that:

    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST}  /index.php/([^? ]*)
RewriteRule ^ /%1 [L,R=301]

    It’ll redirect requests made with the /index.php in it to the one without. Then the rule that you already have will internally rewrite the index.php back in.

    Just include link rel=”canonical” href=”http://example.com/ on every page and enjoy :).
