PHP For Beginners, Ep 15 - Make a PHP Router

[@sifr-in]

i directly came to this episode. i was searching for "understanding routes" u compelled me to see "previous videos also" nice one.👍

Jeffrey, I am a hige fan, lifetime member of Laracasts and evangelist of Laravel & Laracasts. That fake typing at the beginning almost had me spit beer on my laptop. Hahahahaha. Its awesoem how many experienced PHP guys are watching these videos here and there. Including me.

[@MocSomething]

I'm really loving this series. I work with PHP and Javascript in my job, and I've learned everything I know about these languages just through experience and google. The basics I'm learning here is really refreshing and it's really helping me in my job, so thank you! To be honest, before you got to parse_url function call, I thought you'd have to pull out preg_match() and thought "ooh, this is moving quickly!" haha. Nice to see the PHP devs already thought of that! Keep up the great content!

I love this series! A few years ago I had really trouble with understanding routing. Your first PHP series made it so clear, it was like a sudden awakening. The other thing I enjoy here is that you try different concepts. Your first series was so object oriented, and now you have a more functional approach. Will you refactor to classes where appropiate? ;) Also, two years ago I was about to quit web developement. But your dedication made me resist that. Your one of my favorite teachers, and also guitarist like me. All the best to you. :)

[@DougLopes]

Nice and clean as always... I was runing some tests and this behavior when you access some address that doesn't exists only works in php server. With wamp and laragon you get 404 error probably because of apache and the index.php is never called. So if you're having this issue, try just run the tutorial codes like Jeffrey in a simple "php -S localhost" and it should work.

[@Bishop_Six]

Thank you for clearing this up for me, i had the same 404 problem earlier on wamp server. but i have one question, i'm running a laravel app on WAMP and it works, i'm guessing laravel uses the same single point of entry routing system (as jeffrey did in this video) but much more advanced. if thats the case why does laravel work on WAMP and the tutorial codes in this video breaks on WAMP?

[@DougLopes]

@@Bishop_Six thats because laravel has a .htaccess on the public directory, and it make the apache redirect all requests to index.php entry

[@jediampm]

@@DougLopes And also mod rewrite is needed to be active, to be able to read .htaccess files, which usually is active in sharing hosting providers and some software solutions like wamp, mamp or xamp, but not in php base containers and hosting providers by using Virtual Private Server (VPS) plan.

[@devKazuto]

One thing you could have done as well is to move the `parse_url` call to the `routeToController` function. This way you would only need to pass the routes as a parameter, because `$uri` is only used in the function.

We’re not done in that file, but it’s more flexible if we instead pass in the uri.

I am gonna try different things like googling, changing the browser or use something other than mamp.

I did things a bit differently because of the 'root level' thing. I basically copied the wordpress .htaccess file and replaced 'wordpress' in the file with the name of the project folder.

Hi Jeff, I know thiss serie is now quite a time done and I don't know if you even read this comment. But I'm no searching around for quite a long time and indeed for me who never worked in IT but wa alway interested in doing this as a hobby I am doing bad in debugging in PHP/HTML/CSS/JS... I'm more used to C, C++, Visual Basic even Assembler. It would be great if you would make a eries that explicitly teaches how to debug in Web Development! I love your little function dd() just in the beginning of this series and that i exactly what I mean! In this lesson I kinda miss a sentence about the problem when putting the require into a function: Every variable needed in any content would have to be forwarded to the function... That makes it obligatory (at least for me) to change thinking from other languages.

Sir I have a question. You are runnig the built in php web server so there is a single entry point: index.php. But on apache just gives the files that are are requested. For example: on built in php web server, demo/about will forward the request to index.php where the routing is defined. the simple router can figure out which file to require. But on apache, demo/about gives error becuase there is no file names about, instead it is about.php. the request is not passed to the index.php file which has the router. How can I solve the problem?

Hi, As i will do a general comment for Jeff, for he explain this, but i will try to explain. If you watched the video 2 or 3 of this series, you will see he boot up a server, but not any server, the php built in server point out to that folder, as document root. If you try with real server that comes with software solutions like XAMP, WAMP and MAMP or Docker container or on hosting provider (which usualy comes with Apache http server), this will not work, because of configurations like document root and other setup that it is needed. Ya, in his first series of PHP for beginners that he did, He did same thing and i, like you, did not understand why, which lead to more confusion to me.

Hi Jeff, Please explain in the next video why this works on php built in server and it will not in software solutions like XAMP, LAMP OR WAMP, Docker container or even on hosting provider. I am asking, because you did same thing your first series of php for beginners ( The PHP Practitioner), and it just confuse me a lot and i am sure others too, at that time in laracast. For example, here in youtube, you have a comment about this from Philip Tammy, to avoid more confusion and misleading people to think that make a router is simple and no need to config a server. Another think i want to ask is what is best practice for naming routes / url for full website and web api, because i worked for companies that do not how should naming the pages or routes. Thanks.

We're using PHP's built-in server for this series, so we get the rewriting for free. If you're using Apache or Nginx, the rules might be different. That's all entirely separate from the process of writing a simple PHP router. A quick Google search for something like "Apache rewrite to index.php" will provide hundreds of solutions. gist.github.com/RaVbaker/2254618 stackoverflow.com/questions/12195622/apache-redirect-directory-to-index-php

[@jediampm]

@@Laracastsofficial Hi, i know that you you using built-in server and for prod server you need mod rewrite to read the htaccess file and. htaccess file configuration for apache http server ( where all frameworks provide that kind of config file for Apache) , as i said long time ago i watched The PHP Practitioner (which was great) and i did my research for that at that time, so no need to explain to me now. To go direct to the point, in this video you should be clear, to your viewers, don't repeat same mistake of dont saying the how and why this is working. By saying or write in the comments is not enough, not all people will read the comments or make some research on it because they dont know the problem or what key words to use. And another thing, for simple projects, you dont need router to have clean urls, because like you show, if you have a file call index.php, the server know what to do, you have a folder call contact and inside you have a file call index.php or ( even index.html if it is only static page), you do '/contact/' , it will load the file. you just mention and show but dont said why should be index.php, i tell you, because exist config file that said to the server files call index.php or index.html is to load and give priority.

[@sonoftroy8572]

Hey I have a quick question. when it comes to relative path vs absolute path, how does that affect my application? a few things to note, my file structure has the public, App dir structure. and my httpd.conf document root and directory points to the public folder by default. I have a bug that wont allow me to request the about page or contact page. I'm confused because my file and url paths are correct... but the error message is telling me the request url was not found on the server. That cant be right... I know my paths are correct. thoughts anyone...

[@fernandolicea2088]

Use the server by PHP, you can use: php -S localhost:8888 in the console

This is not for beginners, you lost me after 2 minutes and I am not a beginner. You go way too fast and don't explain, you just show things.

@@ImEli2215 find or add it a bit lower down in the file without the semicolons in the beginning, what you pasted is part of Quick Reference and is not a config

@@and-why Ow ok let me try that out and see if it works.

[@haseebzafar5957]

$uri = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])['path']; if($uri === '/routing/index'){ require 'controllers/index.php'; }else if($uri === '/routing/contact'){ echo 'controllers/contact.php'; } I wrote this code in index.php, the route of index is working but contact is not opening on index.php. For contact I must declare contact.php then it will work, kind please help me to sort it.

Hi! I'm having trouble when we're going to implement the error pages. Chrome simply does not display the page, in this case 404.php but a standard 404 error from Chrome. I've already tried creating a .htaccess file to try and resolve it without success. Can we help me?
