What are some best practices for debugging PHP routing issues when deploying a website on different platforms?
When deploying a website on different platforms, PHP routing issues may arise due to differences in server configurations or file paths. To debug these issues, it is important to check the server's rewrite rules, ensure the correct file paths are used in the routing configuration, and check for any syntax errors in the routing code.
// Example of a simple PHP routing configuration using $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']
$request_uri = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
switch ($request_uri) {
case '/':
require 'home.php';
break;
case '/about':
require 'about.php';
break;
case '/contact':
require 'contact.php';
break;
default:
http_response_code(404);
echo '404 Not Found';
}
