**Modern routing for legacy PHP applications** — Write clean routes today, upgrade to modern frameworks tomorrow.

The Problem
-----------

[](#the-problem)

You're maintaining a PHP application that's been around for years. Maybe it started on PHP 4 or 5. The codebase works, but:

- Routes are scattered across dozens of files with mixed HTTP verbs
- `.htaccess` rewrites have become impossible to follow
- You want to modernize, but a full framework migration isn't feasible right now
- Your team needs to support multiple PHP versions during the transition

The Solution
------------

[](#the-solution)

This router meets you where you are. Whether you're on PHP 5.5 or PHP 8.5, you get the same clean, expressive API. No conditional syntax, no version-specific features — just routing that works.
