htaccess rewrite url and remove question mark

You should put that last rule (the one we've been working on) first and make sure it stops with the last switch ( [R=301,L] )

Not sure why the rewrite condition in the following rule is necessary either:

RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteCond $1 ^(reservations|reservations/submit|mycart|mycart/confirm|mycart/submit)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.goscubadivemaui.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Since it seems you are just trying to redirect when the IP was submitted in the URL? Actually not sure really still. I just know that the following lines:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/?$1 [L]

Should take care of hiding index.php for you.

By the way, your example shows your ? mark unescaped still???
