Need PHP/Nginx help (dynamic urls)
Ok so I have a basic php driven site that I'm working on for fun, it's just being ran on my raspberry pi right now.
This is my index.php file: https://pastebin.com/u3AfJeH2
This "works", and allows me to have a basic design template and I don't need to update every page I create if I want to change a link in the navigation or footer or something. It loads the content that I want (see array) like this:
http://xx.xx.xx.xx/index.php?p=something
that will load the content that is in 'something.php' . http://xx.xx.xx.xx/index.php?p=test will of course load the content that is in 'test.php' and it's all done within the design of the page so I don't have to make a bunch of different pages or updates to them, just the content files.
Okay so that works fine, but I want the URLs to be 'pretty' and I can not get it to work at ALL! So frustrating.
My nginx file looks like:
server {
listen 80 default_server;
listen [::]:80 default_server;
root /var/www/html;
index index.php index.html index.htm;
server_name _;
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1;
}
#location / {
# try_files $uri $uri/ =404;
#}
location ~ \.php$ {
include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf;
fastcgi_pass unix:/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
}
}
That "kind of works", like, I can go to http://xx.xx.xx.xx/test instead of http://xx.xx.xx.xx/index.php?p=test BUT all styling and images stop loading, and I'm not sure why. If I view the output html source from the pages that are loading using the above configuration, I can see that the path to these elements have remain unchanged but they will not load so it breaks all styling and appearances.
If I comment out
location / {
rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?p=$1;
}
then those elements/images will work again, but then I can't use the url structure I want and I'm back where I started.

Probably because you are redirecting /whatever.css to /index.php?p=whatever.css also
rewrite ^/([a-z]+)$will probably be a better capture if you just want "something" "test" and other alpha, and won't capture everything.extensionchange to a-zA-Z0-9 if you want alphanumerics in large
That worked.
I knew I was close. Been staring at a screen too long today. I think I need to go for a walk and clear my head.
Thank you @hzr for your assistance.
