How to set the web root and hide app.php and app_dev.php in localhost using xampp and apache?

Question 1

I'm using symfony in my local computer for programming. its address is http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/secure_area.

How can I change this address to http://localhost/secure_area?

I mean removing RTL/web/app_dev.php.

I'm using xampp, apache and symfony 2.6.

other addresses could be something like these:

http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/login    =>     http://localhost/login
http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/logout   =>     http://localhost/logout
http://localhost/RTL/web/app_dev.php/admin    =>     http://localhost/admin

Question 2

Accordingly to the comments.

The RTL/web is removed adding the directive DocumentRoot "C:/xampp/htdocs/localhost/RTL/web" on your virtual host file in apache.

Then you can hide app.php using these apache mod_rewrite rules:

RewriteEngine On  
RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$  
RewriteRule ^app.php(/(.*)|$) %{CONTEXT_PREFIX}/$2 [R=301,L]
RewriteRule .? - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ app.php [QSA,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}::$1 ^(/.+)(.+)::2$
RewriteRule ^(.*) - [E=BASE:%1]    
RewriteRule .? %{ENV:BASE}app.php [L]

then restart apache server to apply the modifications.

Question 3

Not really an answer to your question, but I wouldn't do this to myself. Apache's config file format isn't really built for stuff like this.

To me, having two separate htaccess files (like .htaccess and .htaccess.local, and controlling the local server through the AccessFileName directive:

AccessFileName .htaccess.local

is the best way to go.

If you really want to have everything in one file, it may be possible by using <IfDefine> blocks to separate local and live directives. You would have to set a define when starting your server locally, and could then test for the presence or non-presence of that define.

Question 4

Go to wp-config.php, set WP_DEBUG to true and see what happens.

Question 5

I don't know about underline, but for bold and italic there is "bolditalic". There is no mention of underline here: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/widget/TextView.html#attr_android:textStyle

Mind you that to use the mentioned bolditalic you need to, and I quote from that page

Must be one or more (separated by '|') of the following constant values.

so you'd use bold|italic

You could check this question for underline: Can I underline text in an android layout?

Question 6

You could also set the RatingBar as indicator from the xml with the following:

android:isIndicator="true"
