You probably do not want to use this anymore. Consider looking at https://github.com/auraphp/Aura.Router.

This file contains a small url router, which is intended to be used in very small projects, where no real MVC framework fits the needs of the project.

To create a route, you just have to call the “Router::add” function and provide the intended url and the name of the function which is supposed to be called if the route matches.

The function name can contain a regular expression. Every matching argument, that can be extracted will be stored in the $args array.

Every function, that is supposed to be the endpoint of an url has to accept a single variable, which will contain the array of extracted arguments.

If you want to use class methods as your endpoints, just add the class’s name in front of the method’s name and add a dot after the class’s name.

For the bar method of this class:

class Foo {
  function bar($args) {...}
}

the endpoint has to be “Foo.bar”. See example usage in the example file (index.php).

The Router has only static methods, because that makes the api super nice (at least IMHO).

require_once('Router.php');
Router::add('/example', 'example_function');
function example_function($args) {
  echo "Hello!<br />";
  print_r($args);
}
Router::run()
