The Simplest PHP Router | Tania Rascia

I wanted to create the absolute most basic routing code in PHP, so here it is. We will direct ALL traffic to and route to the new files…

Hello, this is very simple but not working did you test that ?

[TilP]

2+ years later, first time seeing this. I am getting back into PHP after so many years away. Just wanted to mention I think you can make your code even shorter by having the first two cases represent loading of index.php as:

case '': case '/': // code, then break

Another way is to use switch(true)... still combining the two expressions on one line. Cheers

Hello! Thanks.

Thank you so much Rascia! ❤

Why the hell are you referring to HTML fragments as "views"?

[hamdygamal]

but this could not be used like MVC

/ path not working.

[ridhwan102]

Hi, I manage to make this simple routing work by changing few line on htaccess and add some str_replace on index.php. But somehow I'm not able to use action in form. Can you help me?

[mfoland90]

The / doesn't work.. If you do something in a sub directory, in my case, I have it in /dev (since I'm building an app), you have to put the /dev on the router. Looks like it might need some different part of the URI... The error part worked nonetheless haha. I'm struggling with this one. Can you help?

[mfoland90]

You might be able to put the path. When I was testing a theory, i'd do the whole path, especially on the app I built, and am rebuilding with routing.. i'd do uri/idea/ideaname or with something like a post it would be action="?mode=Create"

[mfoland90]

Actually... For all saying the / path isn't working, etc.. I did some playing around with this... https://github.com/mfoland90/simple-php-router/blob/main/Route.php

Best wishes :)

[mfoland90]

Even my work around ended up not working for me.. My project is in a subfolder, so the path isn't working. It may on a subdomain, but on a subdolder, nope.

[mfoland90]

Another issue is if you are doing something with a page title or something in the uri is it's not dynamic.

[MukhtaarAziz]

Thanks Tania. It is very simple, We also can extending it using $_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] to control over HTTP method type. anyway many thanks to you.

[skshailendra151]

It's not working while I am using parameter in the URL like" www.abc.one//?utm_source=QRCode&utm_medium=Card" please suggest me what can I do ?

[mfoland90]

This is what I did.. https://github.com/steampixel/simplePHPRoute It was simply easy to install using composer :) I built a Request System and it uses this.

I would do something like this:

$urlpath = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);
switch ($urlpath) {
...

to support querystring

[mfoland90]

I found another one like steampixel router class. It did what I needed lol.

This is my idea of php routing. RoutREST https://github.com/iPhoneSDKPro/routeREST

[rajibbrunel]

Thank so much for this smart solution. with love and respect.

[gabriel-ands]

Maybe you need modify the last line .htaccess for

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L] ### alternative

[venusdemilo]

To retrieve a variable in the url, for example in GET mode : "http://mysite.com/?action=foo&id=14 " you just have to do in the router :

case '/?action=foo&id='.$_GET['id'] :
    ... PHP tricks with the variable $_GET['id'] ...
    break; 

you can also retrieve the content of a form sent in POST mode:

case '/?action=authentication' :
        ... stuff in PHP with the variable $_POST ...
        break;

It works very well in an MVC system ...

[nigamanthsrivatsan]

wow, this is some crazy shit fr

[Colandus]

Works fine, thank you.

[Colandus]

However, to support GET-parameters, you could use this:

$request = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH);

[jmartincc]

Works great! But I had to do some googling for NGINX. I suggest you add that to help others!

In my Nginix website conf file I added:

location / {
                try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args; #if doesn't exist, send it to index.php
}

Then followed the rest of your guide normally.

Thanks!

[jmartincc]

Also for PHP 8.x, I used match instead of switch and it works like a charm.

match ($request) {
        '/test' => test(),
        default => require __DIR__ . '/error.php';,
    };

[ChaosWebDev]

How would you do this if you have it multiple deep?

e.g.: /page_one/page_two

[andrew-lim]

To make it work for any sub folder and query strings:

function getBaseURI()
{
    $basePath = implode('/', array_slice(explode('/', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME']), 0, -1)) . '/';
    // Get the current Request URI and remove rewrite base path from it
    // (= allows one to run the router in a sub folder)
    $uri = substr(rawurldecode($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']), strlen($basePath));
    // Don't take query params into account on the URL
    if (strstr($uri, '?')) {
        $uri = substr($uri, 0, strpos($uri, '?'));
    }
    // Remove trailing slash + enforce a slash at the start
    return '/' . trim($uri, '/');
}

$request = getBaseURI();

[jorwan]

Thanks, I would add !/ in RewriteRule to avoid a infinity redirect loop RewriteRule !/ index.php [QSA,L]
