simple php router and autoloader

About as simple as it gets and still be useful

how does it work

autoloader.php scans all files/folders within /classes (or your choice of folder) for required classes, loads them, and executes a method called init().

router.php translates the route in a browser to a php class and executes the init() method in that class.

requirements

php 7.x

installation

• copy files to a directory of your choice
• open the directory with a terminal/console/cli
• start with php -S localhost:4567
• use a browser to navigate to localhost:4567
• try the routes in lines 14 - 16 of router.php:
  • localhost:4567
  • localhost:4567/about
  • localhost:4567/enrol

structure

Looks like this:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Language            Files        Lines         Code     Comments       Blanks

Help yourself to the code, and if it's of any use then a star would be nice (top right...)
