My project is currently accessible like that:
website.com/development/views/index.php
My question is should I use URL rewriting to hide /development and /views and put index.php in the main /public_html folder or get rid of the /development folder? The issue with that is there are a bunch files from my hosting provider in public_html, so I wouldn't want to mix it with my application.
Whilst it is a matter of preference, the standard practice in most php applications, I have seen is to have the index.php file in the root folder.
Instead of this
website.com/development/views/index.php
Most developers would expect something like this
website.com/development/index.php
Folder structure:
development
|
---views
---js
--- css
--- index.php
The index.php file should sit at the same level as your views folder.
