I’m trying to migrate our website from a linux vm (also on google) to google App Engine Standard enviroment.
When i deploy the app and test it the main page (index.php) works fine but when i try to go to other files, for example /somefolder/somefile.php it doesnt. It just shows the index.php but without the pictures etc.
I searched the internet and i found that this is probably due to not having a front end controller(?)
My app.yaml file is as followed:
service: nameoftheapp
runtime: php83
handlers:
# Serve images as static resources.
- url: /(.+.(gif|png|jpg))$
static_files: 1
upload: .+.(gif|png|jpg)$
- url: /(.+.php)$
script: auto
- url: /.*
script: auto
my index.php is:
<?php
// android store
if (preg_match('#android#i', $_SERVER ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
header('Location: market://details?id=nl.myapp');
exit;
}
// ios
if (preg_match('#(iPad|iPhone|iPod)#i', $_SERVER ['HTTP_USER_AGENT'])) {
header('Location: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/myapp/id973246494');
exit;
}
echo "<html> <head> </head> <body>";
echo '<center><p><br><p><br>Sometext</center> <p>';
echo '<center> some more text.</center> <p>';
echo "<center> <img width='800' src='images/logo_GW_forweb.jpg'</center> <p>";
echo "<center> yet some more text</center> <p>";
echo "</body>";
?>
the index.php serves as a simple landing page for users to redirect them to the appstores for the app. As far as this goes, this works well. also the logo, which resides in a subfolder is shown.
But i myself want to go to https://mywebsite.nl/somefolder/somefile.php
This part doesnt work. Can this be resolved by just setting the right app.yaml (i do have like 10 subfolders with some having their own subfolders and a total of 100+ .php files)
Do i need something else? I was hoping there would be a settings for the app.yaml that routes all reguests to the right place.
I made a test app to see how to get it working. This one works, but i doubt this is the way to go.
The app.yaml file states:
runtime: php83
service: test
handlers:
- url: /.*
script: index.php
And the index states:
<?php
$requestUri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
// Hier kun je logica toevoegen om het verzoek te routeren naar de juiste actie/controller
if ($requestUri === '/test/test.php') {
require 'test/test.php';
} elseif ($requestUri === '/root.php') {
require 'root.php';
} else {
// Standaard HTML-tekst als de URI niet overeenkomt met specifieke routes
echo "<!DOCTYPE html>";
echo "<html lang="en">";
echo "<head>";
echo " <meta charset="UTF-8">";
echo " <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">";
echo " <title>Test App</title>";
echo "</head>";
echo "<body>";
echo " <h1>Hallo dit is een test</h1>";
echo " <p>Welkom bij de PHP-testapplicatie op Google App Engine!</p>";
echo " <p><a href="test/test.php">Ga naar test.php</a></p>";
echo " <p><a href="root.php">Ga naar root.php</a></p>";
echo "</body>";
echo "</html>";
}
?>
This one works. i can access the root.php as well as the test.php which is located in the subfolder test. But i doubt this would be the way to go for my own website.
