[@monzur]

That's an awesome project. Thanks. I think here we, need to handle the 404 error page. Otherwise, a user can't determine that's the right path. here I share my little code to handle 404. if (preg_match($pattern, $currentUri)) { // do something }else{ //Here we can load 404 controllers or just print the message }

[@amirkamizichannel]

Thank you for sharing that. exactly we can create a fallback route so in case it didn't match anything we would show a 404 page.

[@MasoudHatami-t2b]

why does print_r($SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); is empty

[@amirkamizichannel]

sorry for late response. I hope you've figured it out till now. if it's giving you empty result check your .htaccess file and your directory and make sure it's pointing to the right place.

[@cristhianjhlcom]

Thank you Michal! I'm glad you liked it

[@machinelearning2578]

Thanks a lot, could you please share the code?

[@amirkamizichannel]

offf I've just seen your comment. sorry for such late response :) I'm glad you liked the video. my main goal for these videos is that I go step by step so the learner could go on and actually code the project themselves. that's why I haven't shared the source codes.

[@NedumEze]

Thanks Amir for this. Please, may I ask? If your index.php were in a "public" folder, how will the RewriteBase rule be then? Will this be correct: /php_course/public ?

[@amirkamizichannel]

I'm glad you liked it. yes exactly. if it was in localhost/php_course/public then you would write /php_course/public. but note that the base path for the project and the location of index.php file are 2 different things. for example in this video the project was in php_course so in the browser I would go to localhost/php_course so if for you it's in php_course/example you would need to go to php_course/example. this would be base path of the project. it would be good if the index file is in the base path. it can be in another folder but it might create some unexpected behaviours. for exmaple your base path might be example and your index.php file might be in example/foo/index.php. you can make it work but it would behave a bit "strange" :) take a look at apache documentations httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewritebase and httpd.apache.org/docs/current/mod/mod_rewrite.html#rewriterule I hope I could help you with you question

[@NedumEze]

@@amirkamizichannel Thanks a million, Amir. So helpful. I deeply appreciate

[@amirkamizichannel]

@@NedumEze It's my pleasure

[@NedumEze]

@@amirkamizichannel I took up your challenge Sir. Implemented Composer Autoloader and populating the remaining Methods in the Models Folder. Truth? It's hard! And I am struggling. Question: The files in the Views Folder should be mainly HTML pages AND NOT CLASSES?

[@amirkamizichannel]

@@NedumEze I'm glad to hear that you took the challange. I'm sure you're going to do it. yes the views can be .php files and inside them the format is like a normal html file. there is no need to use classes. later you can use a templating language like blade that laravel uses.
