[](#adding-routes-with-php-code)

use Hoben\SimpleRoutes\Router;

$router = new Router();

$route->add('/products', 'ProductController', 'getProducts', 'GET');
$route->add('/product', 'ProductController', 'getProduct', 'GET');

### Bonus: How to redirect all urls to index.php

[](#bonus-how-to-redirect-all-urls-to-indexphp)

Create a simple .htaccess file on your root directory if you're using Apache with mod\_rewrite enabled.

```
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [NC,L]
```

If you're using nginx, setup your server section as following:

```
server {
	listen 80;
	server_name mywebsite.dev;
	root /var/www/mywebsite/public;

	index index.php;

	location / {
		try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
	}

	location ~ \.php$ {
		fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
		# NOTE: You should have "cgi.fix_pathinfo = 0;" in php.ini

		# With php5-fpm:
		fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock;
		fastcgi_index index.php;
		include fastcgi.conf;
		fastcgi_intercept_errors on;
	}
}
```
