I want to remove index.php from url in codeigniter . So in user guide, there is way to do it by editing .htaccess.But my host do not allow to edit it. Is there any way to do with codeigniter's code? Thanks.

Sorry, but if you cannot do a URL re-write via .htaccess file then it's pretty much impossible. –  Brian Driscoll Jun 15 '12 at 14:12

Sorry, I'm afraid it's not possible. CodeIgniter (or browsers in general, for that matter) need an index file, by editing the .htaccess file you tell the browser not to show the 'index.php' part, but it's still there. Removing the index.php file itself is silly since your website won't work without it.

put the foolowing code in .htaccess 

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]  

<Files "index.php">
AcceptPathInfo On
</Files>

and put $config['index_page'] = ''; in config file instead of $config['index_page'] = ''; put the .htaccess near to index.php out of system and application folders

I dont think there is a way to do it without editing the htaccess file.
