    If you expose links to both your root and index.php, Google does not know these links are the same and treats them as two different URL's.

    First, in your navigation menu, your logo and "homepage" links should link to "/" and not "index.php".

    Second, try to find all the places on the web that link to your index.php file and change the links to point to your root. If you can't get these changed, I would change the name of your index file to something other than index.php, and make index.php a 301 redirect to "/".

    Yes, provided you can get all the incoming links corrected.
