.htaccess with public folder
- by ninumedia
I have a directory structure with the following on localhost:
http://localhost/testing/
A directory structure exists inside of testing as follows:
/testing/public
/testing/public/index.php
/testing/public/img
/testing/public/css
..etc for the js and swf directories
A .htaccess file is inside the testing folder and the contents are as follows:
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteBase /testing/
RewriteRule ^public$ public/ [R,QSA]
RewriteRule ^public/$ public/index.php?state=public [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^stackoverflow$ stackoverflow/ [R,QSA]
RewriteRule ^stackoverflow/$ public/index.php?state=stackoverflow[L,QSA]
I am using PHP and inside of the /testing/public/index.php file I wanted to test that the $_GET['state'] is indeed saving the variable.
When I try to test out:
http://localhost/testing/public
$_GET['state'] is not found at all BUT
http://localhost/testing/stackoverflow
does indeed echo out that $_GET['state'] equals 'stackoverflow'.
What am I missing here??? Why is it that I cannot get the state=public in the first link? Thanks for the help!
