I cannot capture ROUTE without using index in URL

Question

In short, it only works if I put index.php in the URL. I think it’s in . htaccess, but I don’t know where. I wonder which configuration is incorrect or what could I do to find my error.

Data: Debian(9) Apache/2.4.25 (Debian) PHP 7.0.19-1

My . htaccess:

<IfModule mod.rewrite.c>
 RewriteEngine On
 RewriteBase /
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
 RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC, L]
</IfModule>

My index.php:

<?php
 $url = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
 echo $url;
 //tentativa diferente
 $R = filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI');
 echo $R

Terminal:

$ systemctl status apache2.service
● apache2.service - The Apache HTTP Server
Loaded: loaded (/lib/systemd/system/apache2.service; enabled; vendor preset: enabled)

Answer 1

The problem is in the flag delimiter:

 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [NC, L]
 #                                  ^^
 #                     não permite espaços aqui

The space is wrong. Switch to:

 RewriteRule (.*) index.php/$1 [NC,L]

• Although you don’t really need to ignore upper and lower case with .*.

---

You can test your htaccess on .htcheck access.

• With your case, it says "Fatal: Rewriterule: bad flag delimiters".

Answer 2

Apparently it’s OK your .htaccess. Maybe the directives Errordocument and Fallbackresource help complete what you intend to do (direct all routes, even non-existent resources, to index.php).

.htaccess

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>

  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
  RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
  RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

  ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
  FallbackResource /index.php

</IfModule>

index php.

<?php

   $path = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
   $query_string = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_QUERY);

   echo "<strong>PATH:</strong>" . $path . "<br>";
   echo "<strong>QUERY STRING:</strong>" . $query_string . "<br>";

?>

Upshot:
