'/views/home.php'; }); // dynamic named route $router->map('GET|POST', '/users/[i:id]/', function($id) { $user = ..... require __DIR__ . '/views/user/details.php'; }, 'user-details'); // echo URL to user-details page for ID 5 echo $router->generate('user-details', ['id' => 5]); // Output: "/users/5" ``` Features -------- [](#features) - Can be used with all HTTP Methods - Dynamic routing with named route parameters - Reversed routing - Flexible regular expression routing (inspired by [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/)) - Custom regexes Getting started --------------- [](#getting-started) You need PHP >= 7.3 to use AltoRouter, although we highly recommend you [use an officially supported PHP version](https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php) that is not EOL. - [Install AltoRouter](https://dannyvankooten.github.io/AltoRouter//usage/install.html) - [Rewrite all requests to AltoRouter](https://dannyvankooten.github.io/AltoRouter//usage/rewrite-requests.html) - [Map your routes](https://dannyvankooten.github.io/AltoRouter//usage/mapping-routes.html) - [Match requests](https://dannyvankooten.github.io/AltoRouter//usage/matching-requests.html) - [Process the request your preferred way](https://dannyvankooten.github.io/AltoRouter//usage/processing-requests.html) Contributors ------------ [](#contributors) - [Danny van Kooten](https://github.com/dannyvankooten) - [Koen Punt](https://github.com/koenpunt) - [John Long](https://github.com/adduc) - [Niahoo Osef](https://github.com/niahoo) License ------- [](#license) MIT License Copyright (c) 2012 Danny van Kooten Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the "Software"), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, distribute, sublicense, and/or sell copies of the Software, and to permit persons to whom the Software is furnished to do so, subject to the following conditions: The above copyright notice and this permission notice shall be included in all copies or substantial portions of the Software.
