php路由的基础知识

Question

I'm looking for a tutorial or explaination on how to do very basic php routing.

For example when I visit a link like: mywebsite.com/users I want to run the get method of a route class to provide the data, in the same way laravel does it.

Route::get('users', function()
{
    return 'Users!';
});

Can somebody explain how to do this or provide me with some more information?

In its most common configuration, PHP relies on the web server to do the routing. This is done by mapping the request path to a file: If you request www.example.org/test.php, the web server will actually look for a file named test.php in a pre-defined directory.

There is a feature that comes in handy for our purpose: Many web servers also allow you to call www.example.org/test.php/hello and it will still execute test.php. PHP makes the additional stuff in the requested path accessible via the $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] variable. In this case it would contain "/hello".

Using this, we can build a very simple router like this:

<?php

// First, let's define our list of routes.
// We could put this in a different file and include it in order to separate
// logic and configuration.
$routes = array(
    '/'      => 'Welcome! This is the main page.',
    '/hello' => 'Hello, World!',
    '/users' => 'Users!'
);

// This is our router.
function router($routes)
{
    // Iterate through a given list of routes.
    foreach ($routes as $path => $content) {
        if ($path == $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']) {
            // If the path matches, display its contents and stop the router.
            echo $content;
            return;
        }
    }

    // This can only be reached if none of the routes matched the path.
    echo 'Sorry! Page not found';
}

// Execute the router with our list of routes.
router($routes);

?>

For the sake of simplicity, I did not make the router a class. But from here on, that shouldn't be a problem either.

Let's assume we named this file index.php. We can now call www.example.org/index.php/hello to get a nice "Hello, World!" message. Or www.example.org/index.php/ to get the main page.

The "index.php" in that URL is still ugly, but we can fix this by using URL rewriting. In Apache HTTPD you would put a .htaccess file in the same directory with the following content:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1

And there you are! Your very own router with under 10 lines of logic code (not counting comments and the routes list).
