router.php on the internal server does not work properly

Question

I created a router.php file in the published root of my project, this file was made as guidance in the PHP documentation for the built-in server. It works as a native change to . htaccess which is not supported by the built-in server.

<?php

if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif|js|css|)$/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {
    return false;
} else {
    include __DIR__ . '/index.php';
}

When I use the remote:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 public/router.php

to start my server, it does not load CSS and Avascripts showing error:

Not Found

The requested Resource /Assets/css/bootstrap.min.css was not found on this server.

Someone has been through a similar situation?

I’m using php7.1 on Windows but I’ve already tested version 5.6 and the same thing happens.

Answer 1

First you should run the server inside the public folder avoiding using the public/router.php:

cd public
php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 router.php

Or start with an alternative root Document:

php -S 127.0.0.1:8888 -t public/ public/router.php

Also, when the server is started on a different port this error can happen if the Urls present on the page are absolute and do not include the port in the requested resource address. For example:

http://127.0.0.1/assets/css/bootstrap.min.css

instead of:

http://127.0.0.1:8888/assets/css/bootstrap.min.css
