[How To?] Removing index.php from url?

[Corey H]

I did this. Index.php is gone now, hopefully it improves SEO.

I highly doubt that it will. Google's smart enough to know that index.html, index.php, and similar are all going to be index pages of a site and are usually configured at the server level to be the response to /.

I heard that if you remove index.php, it helps SEO?

I see no reason why it would help SEO. If anything it could potentially confuse search engines.
