.htaccess

[Guest]

I'm building my own MVC framework. Everything works except one error in console(GET http://my-domain.com/ 403 (Forbidden)). It's caused because it tried to find index.php in document root. Why it keeps searching index.php in document root when i wrote this in .htaccess(which is in doc root):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
 

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule !\.(css|js|icon|zip|rar|png|jpg|gif|pdf)$ public/bootstrap.php [L]

When I add index.php to doc root the error is gone but it shows the doc root index.php... I tried to redirect from index.php to my bootstrap.php file in public directory and it worked - all showed up like it had to, no errors in console But the php redirect slows down page. So the question is - why the f*ck is browser still searching for index.php, when I said to rewrite all requests to public/bootstrap­.php??
Thanks

1. It's not the browser.

2. You said to rewrite non-existent requests. Since / corresponds to your document root, and that document root most certainly does exist, the rewrite won't happen.

 

It's standard to use an index.php. Why not use one with

<?php

require $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/public/bootstrap.php";
