URL rewriting in built-in web server of PHP
PHP comes with a handy for development built-in web server. Â However, most web projects have friendly URLs these days which are either Apache (mod_rewrite) or Nginx specific configuration. Â This almost renders built-in PHP web server useless. Â Unless you provide a PHP-based routing, like so:
$request_uri = __DIR__ . $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]; if (file_exists($request_uri)) { return false; } else { include __DIR__ . ‘/index.php'; }
Start the PHP web server with the following command then (routing.php being a file with the above content):
$ cd my-project && php -S localhost:8000 routing.php
Thanks to this blog post and comments. Â Now you can completely skip having Apache and Nginx on developer machines and all that shenanigan with configuring virtual hosts, modules, and such.
