Well, as a start please excuse me for my beginner English..
I want to know more about security in PHP MVC applications
I've created my own MVC, I still haven't finished it.
My application directory is exposed by URL access with child elements.
How to make this hidden from visitors?
Following is what I am trying
Apache mod_rewrite ?
I still don't know to make it empty index.html in each folder like the framework Codeigniter ?
What to use for something to indicate ?
and,
... how to make ?
Edit
I know a litte something about rewrite_rules
Below is my .htaccess
Options -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /ligia
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
#RewriteRule .+ -
#I know, it is commented
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
RewriteRule "^(.+)$" "index.php?uri=$1" [QSA,L]
But I am afraid if this is the best way to hold my MVC application
security!?
I need help!
First make sure that your .htaccess
file is in your document root (the same place as index.php
) or it'll only affect the sub-folder it's in (and any sub-folders within that - recursively).
Next make a slight change to your rule so it looks something like:
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
At the moment you're just matching on . which is one instance of any character, you need at least .* to match any number of instances of any character.
If you want the whole shebang installed in a sub-directory, such as /mvc/
or /framework/
the least complicated way to do it is to change the rewrite rule slightly to take that into account.
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /mvc/index.php?path=$1 [NC,L,QSA]
And ensure that your index.php is in that folder whilst the .htaccess file is in the document root.
NC = No Case (not case sensitive, not really necessary since there are no characters in the pattern)
L = Last (it'll stop rewriting at after this Rewrite so make sure it's the last thing in your list of rewrites)
QSA = Query String Apend, just in case you've got something like ?like=penguins on the end which you want to keep and pass to index.php.
