Set up a PHP environment on GAE and enable URL rewriting

1. Download quercus:

http://quercus.caucho.com/

The latest version is of course the best, because in principle the latest version is the best. The new version has higher support for PHP, but when I tested it, I found that the latest 4.0.25 had some problems, so I switched to version 4.0.18.

Select the WAR format file to download and use Winrar to decompress it. Copy the jar of WEB-INFlib to the warWEB-INFlib directory under the GAE project

2. Configure Quercus:

Configure the php file in appengine-web.xml Support:

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">static-files</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">exclude</span><span> </span><span class="attribute">path</span><span>=</span><span class="attribute-value">"/**.php"</span><span> </span><span class="tag">/></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">static-files</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">resource-files</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">include</span><span> </span><span class="attribute">path</span><span>=</span><span class="attribute-value">"/**.php"</span><span> </span><span class="tag">/></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">resource-files</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
</ol>

Add a servlet in web.xml:

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">servlet</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span>Quercus Servlet</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-class</span><span class="tag">></span><span>com.caucho.quercus.servlet.GoogleQuercusServlet</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-class</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">servlet</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
</ol>

Copy after login

Add mapping to php files:

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-mapping</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span>Quercus Servlet</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">url-pattern</span><span class="tag">></span><span>*.php</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">url-pattern</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">servlet-mapping</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
</ol>

Copy after login

3 . Implement URL rewriting (through UrlRewriteFilter):

Download UrlRewriteFilter, copy urlrewritefilter-*.jar to the warWEB-INFlib directory of the project

Add it in web.xml URL filtering

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span> </span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">filter</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">filter-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span>UrlRewriteFilter</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">filter-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">filter-class</span><span class="tag">></span><span>org.tuckey.web.filters.urlrewrite.UrlRewriteFilter</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">filter-class</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">filter</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">filter-mapping</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">filter-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span>UrlRewriteFilter</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">filter-name</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">url-pattern</span><span class="tag">></span><span>/*</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">url-pattern</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">dispatcher</span><span class="tag">></span><span>REQUEST</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">dispatcher</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>    <span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">dispatcher</span><span class="tag">></span><span>FORWARD</span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">dispatcher</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag"></</span><span class="tag-name">filter-mapping</span><span class="tag">></span><span> </span></span></li>
</ol>

Create a new Url rewrite configuration file in the warWEB-INF directory of the project: urlrewrite.xml

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><?</span><span class="tag-name">xml</span><span> </span><span class="attribute">version</span><span>=</span><span class="attribute-value">"1.0"</span><span> </span><span class="attribute">encoding</span><span>=</span><span class="attribute-value">"utf-8"</span><span class="tag">?></span><span> </span></span></li>

This rule is equivalent to the one in .htaccess:

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

Note: This rule may cause the GAE local management http://localhost:8888/_ah/admin/ to fail, and it will not be corrected due to time constraints.

4. Test:

Create a new index.php file in the war directory of the project:

<ol class="dp-xml">
<li class="alt"><span><span class="tag"><?</span><span class="tag-name">php</span><span> </span></span></li><li><span>echo '<span class="tag"><</span><span class="tag-name">pre</span><span class="tag">></span><span>'; </span></span></li>
<li class="alt"><span>print_r($_SERVER); </span></li>
<li><span><span class="tag">?></span><span> </span></span></li>
</ol>

Copy after login

Since I have set index.php as the welcome file, I open http://localhost directly: 8888/

The effect is as shown in the picture:
