How to change public folder to public_html in laravel 5

Question 1

I'm using a shared hosting which uses cPanel as its control panel and within the cPanel public_html is the default root directory, because of this I can't get my Laravel application work properly.

Is there any way to make Laravel use public_html instead of public folder?

Question 2

Quite easy to find this with a simple search.

See: https://laracasts.com/discuss/channels/general-discussion/where-do-you-set-public-directory-laravel-5

In your index.php add the following 3 lines.

/*
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Turn On The Lights
|--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
| We need to illuminate PHP development, so let us turn on the lights.
| This bootstraps the framework and gets it ready for use, then it
| will load up this application so that we can run it and send
| the responses back to the browser and delight our users.
|
*/

$app = require_once __DIR__.'/../bootstrap/app.php';

// set the public path to this directory
$app->bind('path.public', function() {
    return __DIR__;
});

Edit:

As Burak Erdem mentioned, another option (and more preferable) is to put this in the AppProvidersAppServiceProvider register() method.

/**
 * Register any application services.
 *
 * @return void
 */
public function register()
{
    // ...

    $this->app->bind('path.public', function() {
        return base_path('public_html');
    });
}

Question 3

Per http://php.net/configuration.file:

php.ini is searched for in these locations (in order):

SAPI module specific location (PHPIniDir directive in Apache 2, -c command line option in CGI and CLI, php_ini parameter in NSAPI, PHP_INI_PATH environment variable in THTTPD)

The PHPRC environment variable. Before PHP 5.2.0, this was checked after the registry key mentioned below.

As of PHP 5.2.0, the location of the php.ini file can be set for different versions of PHP. The following registry keys are examined in order:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPHPx.y.z], [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPHPx.y] and [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPHPx], where x, y and z mean the PHP major, minor and release versions. If there is a value for IniFilePath in any of these keys, the first one found will be used as the location of the php.ini (Windows only).

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREPHP], value of IniFilePath (Windows only).

Current working directory (except CLI).

The web server's directory (for SAPI modules), or directory of PHP (otherwise in Windows).

Windows directory (C:windows or C:winnt) (for Windows), or --with-config-file-path compile time option.

For CLI, your best bet is probably either to set the $PHPRC environment variable for the account that will be executing scripts, or recompile PHP with a different --with-config-file-path configuration setting.

You can also override the php.ini search dir on a per-execution basis by specifying the -c option when invoking PHP:

> php --help
Usage: php [options] [-f]  [--] [args...]
...
  -c | Look for php.ini file in this directory

Question 4

You can use the following:

return Redirect::back()->withInput(Input::all());

If you're using Form Request Validation, this is exactly how Laravel will redirect you back with errors and the given input.

Excerpt from IlluminateFoundationValidationValidatesRequests:

return redirect()->to($this->getRedirectUrl())
                    ->withInput($request->input())
                    ->withErrors($errors, $this->errorBag());

Question 5

PHPWord is on Packagist, so installing it on Laravel is as easy as:

composer require phpoffice/phpword

or adding this to your composer.json then running composer install:

"require": {
   "phpoffice/phpword": "dev-master"
}

Once installed, you can use it in your code like this (taken from the documentation):

// Creating the new document...
$phpWord = new PhpOfficePhpWordPhpWord();

/* Note: any element you append to a document must reside inside of a Section. */

 // Adding an empty Section to the document...
$section = $phpWord->addSection();

// Adding Text element to the Section having font styled by default...
$section->addText(
    htmlspecialchars(
        '"Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow. '
            . 'The important thing is not to stop questioning." '
            . '(Albert Einstein)'
    )
);

// Saving the document as HTML file...
$objWriter = PhpOfficePhpWordIOFactory::createWriter($phpWord, 'HTML');
$objWriter->save('helloWorld.html');

Question 6

Step 1: You have to enable .htaccess by adding this to your vhost:

<Directory /var/www/html/yourfoldername/>
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride All
Require all granted
</Directory>

Step 2: And disabled SELinux permanently. Click here
