Php – NOT FOUND. The requested URL was not found

Mini Notes App has two pages, Homepage and About page. While the Home page works, the about page does not. It displays the message: NOT FOUND. The requested URL was not found.
This is the ‘controllers/index.php’ file.

<?php

$heading = 'Home';

require 'views/index.view.php';

This is the corresponding ‘views/index.view.php’ file

<?php require('partials/head.php') ?>
  
<?php require('partials/nav.php') ?>
<?php require('partials/banner.php') ?>


  <main>
       <div class="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-4 py-6 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
          Welcome to the Zanga
         </div>`
     </main>

 <?php require('partials/footer.php') ?>

This is the ‘index.php’ file

require 'functions.php';
<?php

$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])['path'];
$routes = [
    '/' => 'controllers/index.php',
    '/about' => 'controllers/about.php',
];

function routeToController($uri, $routes) {
    if (array_key_exists($uri, $routes)) {
        require $routes[$uri];
    } else {
        abort();
    }

}


function abort($code = 404) {
    http_response_code($code);

    require "views/{$code}.php";

    die();
}

routeToController($uri, $routes);

This is the ‘views/about.view.php

<?php require('partials/head.php') ?>

<?php require('partials/nav.php') ?>
<?php require('partials/banner.php') ?>
  
 <main>
     <div class="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-4 py-6 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
         You are on the about page
         </div>
     </main>

<?php require('partials/footer.php') ?>

I thoroughly analysed routes for any bugs but all in vain. ‘controllers/about.php’ always displays ‘Not Found. Requested URL not found.

I tried to duplicate the website but it still displays . Not Found. The requested URL was not found in chrome.

    I was able to resolve the issue '404 NOT FOUND. The requested url was not found' by setting up URL re-writing using Apache and a '.htaccess' file in `the root directory. It allowed the web server to redirect requests for specific URLs to the appropriate PHP file. Thus;

    RewriteEngine On 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d 
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

    I created '.htaccess' file in the root directory of the project and used the code above and saved it. The 'controllers/about.php' is now working. The code enabled URL rewriting in Apache, and made it to redirect allrequests that are not for existing files or directories to index.php , with the original URL appended as a parameter.

    Before doing anything else, could you please test the code by running a local PHP server?

    Open a terminal at the root of your project and type the following command:

    php -S localhost:8000

    Try navigating to it. If it doesn’t work, take a look at the code below that I have recreated.

    // controllers/index.php
<?php

$heading = 'Home';

require './views/index.view.php'; 

    <?php
// controllers/about.php
$heading = 'About';

require 'views/about.view.php'; 

    // views/index.view.php 
<?php require('partials/head.php') ?>

<?php require('partials/nav.php') ?>
<?php require('partials/banner.php') ?>
  
 <main>
     <div class="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-4 py-6 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
         Welcome to the Zanga
         </div>
     </main>

<?php require('partials/footer.php') ?>

    // views/about.view.php 
<?php require('partials/head.php') ?>

<?php require('partials/nav.php') ?>
<?php require('partials/banner.php') ?>
  
     <main>
         <div class="mx-auto max-w-7xl px-4 py-6 sm:px-6 lg:px-8">
            You are on the about page
         </div>
     </main>

<?php require('partials/footer.php') ?>

    <?php
// index.php
$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])['path'];
$routes = [
    '/' => 'controllers/index.php',
    '/about' => 'controllers/about.php',
];

function routeToController($uri, $routes) {
    if (array_key_exists($uri, $routes)) {
        require $routes[$uri];
    } else {
        abort();
    }

}


function abort($code = 404) {
    http_response_code($code);

    require "views/{$code}.php";

    die();
}

routeToController($uri, $routes);
