system/Commands/Server/rewrite.php

1. If we use mod_rewrite then the value of $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] will always be /index.php
2. Lost dependency on Config\App::$indexPage.

I think it should look something like this.

$script = 'We need to get the value of Config\App::$indexPage';
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/' . $script ?? 'index.php';

require_once $fcpath . $script; 

Because if the entry point is overridden, then the development server will not start.

I have a question is how URL with .php work normally. Is it parsing the file and show if that file exist in public folder?

[kenjis]

Basically, I think http://localhost:8080/a.php is http://localhost:8080/index.php/a.php. So CI4 handles the request. But you can configure your web server to show if that PHP file exists in public folder.

Oh, I got it. I found that the problem can be solved by adding this line $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/index.php'; at system/Commands/Server/rewrite.php as @iRedds says.

But I'm not sure that getting the value of Config\App::$indexPage is needed and possible.

As Config\App::$indexPage doc shows:

If you are using mod_rewrite to remove the page set this variable so that it is blank.

Does this Config\App::$indexPage variable not to be used at using mod_rewrite in before design?

[kenjis]

Config\App::$indexPage is used when CI4 generates the site URLs. If you configure the web server to be accessible without index.php, you should set it ''.

So this issue can be solved by adding this line $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/index.php'; at system/Commands/Server/rewrite.php ?

I have been tested and this solution is useful.

[kenjis]

If we use mod_rewrite then the value of $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] will always be /index.php

Yes. And if we nagivate http://localhost/test/a.php, we will see:

404 - File Not Found Can't find a route for 'get: test/a.php'.
