PHP built in server and .htaccess mod rewrites

Question

Does PHP\'s built in server not make use of .htaccess? Makes sense, I suppose, as it isn\'t relying upon Apache(?). Anyway, is it possible to tell the server to make use of

Answer 1

It is not possible to handle .htaccess using PHP's built-in webserver (it is not relying on apache, it is implemented entirely in PHP's core). However, you can use router script (described here: http://php.net/manual/en/features.commandline.webserver.php).

E.g. php -S localhost -S localhost:8080 router.php
