CodeIgniter 作为 index.php 提供静态文件

Question

I'm running an existing php application with php -S 0.0.0.0:80 in a docker container for debug purposes. It uses CodeIgniter. The link I'm going to is http://localhost/index.php and all the other assets are loaded with it as base url. For example, http://localhost/assets/js/third-party-libraries/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js . But each file which comes back to the browser contains the same content as index.php .

What am I missing in how CodeIgniter handles queries?

PHP 7, CodeIgniter 3.1.9

PHP built-in web server doesn't use an .htaccess to know how to redirect files. But it has a simple rule which needs to be implemented. The index.php can return false and this means the web server will return the resource as is. From its documentation :

<?php
// router.php
if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif)$/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {
    return false;    // serve the requested resource as-is.
} else { 
    echo "<p>Welcome to PHP</p>";
}
?>

In the above example requests for images will display them, but requests for HTML files will display "Welcome to PHP".
