URL rewriting

For rewrite rules, you can point the command to a specific router file:

php -S localhost:8080 -t public router.php

This router.php is found at the php.net website:

<?php
if (preg_match('/\.(?:png|jpg|jpeg|gif|css|js)$/', $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"])) {
    return false;
} else {
    include __DIR__ . '/index.php';
}
