I have a file structure like this:
ROOT
|----app/
|----app/init.php
|----public/
|----public/index.php
|----public/img/
|----public/js/
|----.htaccess
The .htaccess's rules will redirect all REQUEST_URI to app/init.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !\.(css|js|ttf|woff|woff2|eot|otf|svg|png|jpg)$
RewriteCond public/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond public/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ app/init.php [NC,L,QSA]
Then app/init.php will use require_once to get the appropriate .html/.php in the public folder.
This works fine; all excluded file in .htaccess will be called as such public/... pattern of path in public/index.php.
For examples:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="public/css/layout.css"><img src="public/img/abc.jpg" alt="">However, I don't want to add public/ prefix on all the file I excluded in .htaccess
I tried adding
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} \.(jpg)$
RewriteRule ^([^?]*)$ public/$1 [NC]
However, it does not work. More accurately, when I called like this img/abc.jpg in public/index.php file, it feeds back is 500 (Internal Server Error). I am guessing it is something wrong with the redirection, but I am not sure.
Question: How can I call css or img or etc.. those file without a prefix of public/ in the path?
Have it this way in your root .htaccess:
RewriteEngine On
# handle css, js and img files
RewriteRule (?:^|/)((?:img|css|js)/.+) public/$1 [L,NC]
# handle rest of the files
RewriteCond public/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond public/%{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule !^public/ app/init.php [L,NC]
