Reroute
A small URL router in PHP built out of liquid rage. (There were no decent, lightweight URL routers for PHP 5.2 at the time)
Its core was inspired by the excellent klein.php project.
Reroute is known to work on PHP 5.2 and above.
How it works
Reroute has only 2 public methods: add and run.
In the site's index.php file, using a Reroute instance's add method, you build up a
key-value list of routes and closures.
When you're done adding routes, you call the Reroute instance's run method.
When a requested URL matches a known route, the matching closure fires and provides the necessary HTML. All other URLs are redirected to a hard-coded closure (your 404 error page).
Reroute was designed for clean URLs and thus doesn't give a hoot about file extension.
/home, /home.html, and home.php are all the same to Reroute, and will result in
/home's content being delivered.
Testing
If you're using a trick like $ php -S localhost:8000 to test your website offline, you'll need to
manually enter your URLs in a form like http://localhost:8000/index.php?uri=somepage, since Reroute
doesn't play nicely with localhost webservers, unless they support the .htaccess's URLRewrite.
Example
An example index.php file for a site with the urls: /home, index, /products, /docs, /events, /contact.
<?php
//LOAD REROUTE:
include 'reroute.php';
$router = new Reroute();
//MAIN PAGE:
$router->add('/', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/home.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
$router->add('/home', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/home.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
$router->add('/index', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/home.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
//CORE PAGES:
$router->add('/products', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/products.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
$router->add('/docs', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/docs.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
$router->add('/events', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/events.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
$router->add('/contact', create_function ('' , "\$output = include './pages/contact.html'; sprintf(\$output);" ));
//START ROUTER/EVENT-HANDLER:
$router->run();
?>
