Hide folders from URL using .htaccess

  • 772

I have tried using .htaccess to hide two folders from the browser's URL bar, and only have to put the name of the view file

For that use

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ resources/view/ [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [NC]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.view.php -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.view.php [NC]

The problem is that I don't get it, I treat the view file as if it were a directory of folders:

Problem

This is the structure of my project:

Now, what I am looking for is that the URL ignores the resources/view/ folders and that when I put the name of the file in the URL it shows me the view. As in the image that I posted first above, the URL shows that I put "php.devel.com/test/php_tests/blog/profile" that URL should show me the view profile.view.php.

I have also configured .htaccess so that it ignores the extensions of the .view.php or .php files, that is why I only put the profile without the extensions in the URL

    This setup works on a virtual server pointing to the public_html.

    <VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerAdmin [email protected]
    DocumentRoot "/opt/lampp/www/test/public_html"
    ServerName test.localhost.com
    ErrorLog "logs/test-error_log"
    CustomLog "logs/test-access_log" common
    <Directory "/opt/lampp/www/test/public_html">
        AllowOverride All
        Require all granted
    </Directory>
#    LogLevel rewrite:trace4
</VirtualHost>

    Note: By uncommenting the line LogLevelyou can see in the error log how Apache resolves the rewrites.

    He .htaccessis in the public_html.

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
  RewriteEngine on
  RewriteBase "/"
  RewriteCond "%{REQUEST_URI}" ^\/(.+)$
  RewriteCond "%{DOCUMENT_ROOT}/resources/view/%1.view.php" -f
  RewriteRule ^(.+)$ resources/view/%1.view.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

    The first condition is to get %1the request uri without the '/'initial one.
    The second condition checks for the request uri without the '/'initial one exists as a file .view.phpinside the document root of the virtual server in the subfolder resources/view.

    If this condition is met, it rewrites the url.

    The structure where it was tested:

    public_html
  |_ resources
  |     |_ view
  |         |_ index.view.php
  |         |_ perfil.view.php
  |_ index.php
  |_ .htaccess

    Invoking http://test.localhost.com/perfildisplays the content of resources/view/perfil.php. Same with index.

  2. You need to capture the name of the view:

    RewriteRule .*/(.*)$ resources/view/$1.view.php [L]

    The directive RewriteCondis only to know if the rule is evaluated, so it is not always necessary.
