how to prevent redirect function adding index.php to urls - sneakyimp - 01-11-2015

I'm using the CI function redirect in my web app. The problem I'm having is that if I redirect a user to /some/path/internally, then the redirect function inserts "index.php" into the url it redirects to. For example I created a controller Test:

Code:
class Test extends CI_Controller {

  public function index() {

    die(site_url("/some/path/internally"));

  }

}

The output is this:

Code:
http://example.com/index.php/some/path/internally

whereas I'd rather have it be:

Code:
http://example.com/some/path/internally

or even just

Code:
/some/path/internally

Is there some configuration setting I'm missing or something?

site_url() adds index.php to the url use base_url() to get rid of it.

That will happen only if config['index_page'] has 'index' as value.
