I am trying to set up a PHP REST API on App Platform. The first issue I noticed is that I can’t set a URL without the .php extension. Not sure if there’s any workaround for this at the moment.
I noticed that we have catchall_document for static sites for some URL routing; but we don’t have that for serverside apps.
Seems like the only “solution” is to open a new folder for each path / file with a index.php file which is not really a good solution.

Hi, I am not sure what you mean exactly, PHP app will not work as static site at all as it will serve only your source code, no PHP interpreter there, but if you working with Dynamic Web APP then using .htaccess you can achieve what you want just like in any other environment.
