php - How does mod_rewrite work with phar? -

i made phar archive out of web application source directory. directory contains 'css' , 'js' directories well. static files addressed /css/xyz.css etc. in html. when try access application html loading fine static files not. tried adding apache rewrite rule maps /css/xyz.css /app.phar/css/xyz.css doesn't work. everytime hit

http://hostname/css/xyz.css 

it loading index.php.

do have modify static file references /app.phar/css/xyz.css ? static file urls relative phar file working fine.

also, mod_rewrite unusable when using phar?

thanks!

mod_rewrite apache module. apache runs .phar file via php, it's in php's hands. responsible sending out files properly.

phar::webphar() has $rewrites parameter lets simulate mod_rewrite on own within .phar.
