I am having issues getting my site to rewrite sub-directory locations back to my public/index.php.

Here is my file structure (simple version):

public -> index.html and .htaccess

private -> views -> my viewable .php files
      -> src -> router.php (does the routing

.htaccess

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [QSA,L]

index.php

<body>
    <?php
    router();
    ?>
</body>

router.php

function router()
{
    $request = trim(strtolower(parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH)));
    
    $fileName = PRIVATE_PATH . "/views/" . $request . ".php";
    if ($request == "/") { // * WHERE TO GO FOR THE 'HOME' PAGE * //
        require_once(PRIVATE_PATH . "/views/home.php"); // ? CAN CHANGE THIS FROM 'home.php' TO OTHER FILE NAME AS DESIRED ? //
    } elseif (file_exists($fileName)) { // * LINKS WILL HAVE THE SAME LOCATION AS THE FILENAME (SANS THE .PHP) * //
        require_once($fileName);
    } else { // * CATCH ALL FOR PAGE NOT FOUND - 404 ERROR * //
        http_response_code(404);
        require_once(PRIVATE_PATH . "/views/404.php");
    }
}

I've read numerous SO pages: Redirect all to index.php using htaccess RewriteRule in sub folder .htaccess URL Rewrite to Subdirectory htaccess rewrite rule for subfolder (nice url)

I'd prefer not to have it rewrite (visably) as a $_GET RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]

I am using https://www.taniarascia.com/the-simplest-php-router/ as my base to do this - I added one of the comment's suggestions --

function getBaseURI()
{
    $basePath = implode('/', array_slice(explode('/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), 0, -1)) . '/';
    // Get the current Request URI and remove rewrite base path from it
    // (= allows one to run the router in a sub folder)
    $uri = substr(rawurldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), strlen($basePath));
    // Don't take query params into account on the URL
    if (strstr($uri, '?')) {
        $uri = substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '?'));
    }
    // Remove trailing slash + enforce a slash at the start
    return '/' . trim($uri, '/');
}

$request = getBaseURI();

It would pull the proper file; however, my index.php file's links such as <script src='./assets/jquery363.min.js'></script> started trying to pull from the sub-directories...

e.g.: If I put localhost/zero/one/two it would pull from views/zero/one/two.php but I would get a console error for unable to find jquery at localhost/zero/one/assets/jquery363.min.js.

Getting the information to pull from views (with sub-directories) is the easy part. I'm having trouble with my index file's linkages IF a sub-directory is used.

Per a comment suggestion, I tried turning my .htaccess into:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [QSA,L]

Browser Output Console Output

  • Try removing `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d` – Pippo Apr 12 '23 at 23:34
  • same results I'm afraid. I added screenshots of the results to the question – jpgerb Apr 13 '23 at 02:12

    Removing those is not a good idea; you usually _want_ existing static assets delivered by the web server itself, and not via your PHP script. – CBroe Apr 13 '23 at 06:25
  • So your .htaccess is in `public`, and you are rewriting to just `index.php` - but that folder does not appear to even contain one, according to your screenshot? What is your document root set to? – CBroe Apr 13 '23 at 06:27

    Using paths like `./assets/...` for your assets is not a good idea - that is relative to the current "folder" of the main document's URL. You should use paths that start with a slash, those are always relative to the domain root. – CBroe Apr 13 '23 at 06:28
  • @CBroe - root is public, so htaccess and index are both there; however, doing `/assets` seems to have worked. Thank you. – jpgerb Apr 13 '23 at 13:24
