PHP built-in web server

Built-in web server

as of php 5.4.0, the cli sapi provides a built-in web server.

This web server is designed for developmental purposes only, and should not be used in production.

URI requests are served from the current working directory where PHP was started, unless the -t option is used to specify an explicit document root.

If a URI request does not specify a file, then either index.php or index.html in the given directory are returned. If neither file exists, then a 404 response code is returned.

If a PHP file is given on the command line when the web server is started it is treated as a "router" script for the web server. The script is run at the start of each HTTP request. If this script returns FALSE, then the requested resource is returned as-is. Otherwise the script's output is returned to the browser.

十天学会PHP教程

以前写了十天学会ASP，十天学会ASP.NET什么的，现在想想再写个PHP吧，也算比较全了。 PHP的调试方法我这里就不说了，外面很多文章都有介绍，也有很多不同的组合。我这里暂时是以 Apache web server 和 MY SQL 作为WEB服务器和数据库，在php-4.3.3下的环境做的程序。当然要简单的构建和访问查看数据库 PHPMYADMIN 不可少。

Example #3 Using a Router Script

Requests for images will display them, but requests for HTML files will display "Welcome to PHP"

// router.php
if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"]))
    return false;    // serve the requested resource as-is.
else { 
    echo "
