Just so I understand this, you want the user to visit
http://www.domain.co.uk/ and get the home page? If so, you want

DirectoryIndex index.php

If however, you don't want the user to ever see
http://www.domain.co.uk/index.php, even if they type it in, then you
want:

Redirect permanent /index.php http://www.domain.co.uk/

There really are very few times that you want or need the power of
mod_rewrite.
