I’m re-developing my website and want to have a cleaner structure throughout.
ideally i’d like to use a file like index.php to contain the essential includes, error reporting/handling, database connection etc, now if all pages are pushed through this then i understand i only need to declare them once and then they’ll always be available to all pages on the website?
i know i can do something like this with htaccess
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.+)?$ /index.php [L]
For the most part this works but when i have deeper urls it doesn’t work properly.
for example i might have a blog post
…com/blog/hello-world (blog.php?post=hello-world)
How would i get my application to register this?
i will also have urls like
…com/gallery/album/photo-album (gallery.php?album=album&photo=photo-name)
i feel i may need to restructure my files?
I guess in a way i want to build a mini framework with the mvc pattern and then call everything through index. what is the best way to do this?
