Stuck in Tutorial (News_Section)

[eluser]faisal6621[/eluser]
The problem is now solved as by mistaken I'd written $data['news'] instead of $data['news_item'].

But I would like to know how to remove the index.php from the URL.

I'd created an .htaccess file as mentioned at CodeIgniter URLs. But still I've to add index.php in my url on localhost.
