unable to get $_REQUEST value in php

I'm trying to create a restful api the only problem is that I'm unable to get $_REQUEST value. the same code work fine on localhost but not on to server. This is probably happen due to my htaccess code. When api call by url processApi is the function that is called and find out which function of this api is called by url

For example http://www.domain.com/file.php/api/test

Now I'm trying to call test function that is in api class

htaccess code redirect my url

The first function inside api class is processApi that check wether test function exist or not

But inside processApi function $_REQUEST value is null

This is happen on server but on localhost it work fine

This is htaccess code

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ file.php?request=$1 [QSA,NC,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ file.php [QSA,NC,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ file.php [QSA,NC,L]  

</IfModule>

This is the api code

class API extends REST 
{               
    private $db = NULL;

    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
    }

    public function processApi()
    {
       $func = strtolower(trim(str_replace("api/","",$_REQUEST['request'])));

        if((int)method_exists($this,$func) > 0)
        {   
                  $this->$func();  
        }
        else
        {            
                $error = array('status' => '402', "msg" => 'function not exist');
                $this->response($this->json($error), 402);
        }
     } 
  }

  $api = new API;
  $api->processApi();

By running this code onto server i got 

{"status":"402","msg":"function not exist"}

Just because $_REQUEST['request'] is null

Please point me why I'm get $_REQUEST['request'] = null. Is my htaccess code giving right value in $_REQUEST['request']

That is probably happening due to your last rule that runs after your first rule. Change your code like this:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On

    # skip after rewriting first time
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !^$
    RewriteRule ^ - [L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-s
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ file.php?request=$1 [QSA,L]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d [OR]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s
    RewriteRule . file.php [L]  

</IfModule>

You should probably be looking at PHP's $_SERVER variable instead of $_REQUEST.

$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] should give you the correct URI for /api/test

Running var_dump on $_SERVER gives you more information about the current request (and the server environment that is processing it)

Hope this helps!
