I'm working on a web page project. I decided to use Apache, PHP (5.1.7, version imposed by my service provider) and Dwoo (templating) for this purpose.
I want to route URLs to my templates. I'm aware there are many frameworks doing this kind of thing. I'm just wondering if there's a nice way to achieve it without.
I've set up my project as follows:
There is minimal amount of business logic (no real model). It's all just pretty static pages. Using templates makes maintenance work easier (inheritance ie.).
Any idea how to set up routing in this case? I guess ideally each given URL should route via index.php that then somehow decides which template to render (ie. /category/pagename would map to templates/category/pagename.tpl).

URL routing allows you to configure an application to accept request URLs that do not map to physical files. A request URL is simply the URL a user enters into their browser to find a page on your web site.
The routes defined in routes/web.php may be accessed by entering the defined route's URL in your browser. For example, you may access the following route by navigating to http://example.com/user in your browser: use App\Http\Controllers\UserController; Route::get('/user', [UserController::class, 'index']);
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.
Use mod_rewrite to route everything to a single index.php file. Then check the variable in $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] within this file to dispatch to the required handler.
This configuration will enable mod_rewrite, if it's installed:
DirectorySlash Off
Options FollowSymLinks Indexes
DirectoryIndex index.php
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [L]
