How to send a GET request?

[lastguest]

$_GET is used to retrieve parameters passed by the URL query string.
http://php.net/manual/it/reserved.variables.get.php

For instance, if you call your script with this request:

http://example.com/foo?username=bar

the $_GET['username'] variable is assigned to bar.

By the way, in your script you are redeclaring the GET / route 2 times, and you are not invoking the route dispatcher µ::_(); after the route definitions.

@lastguest , added µ::_();
Please tell me how to get the user name using $ _GET using your PHP micro-router?

[Jahak]

write a simple example of the method $_GET

[lastguest]

Just try this :

µ::GET('/', function(){
    var_dump( $_GET );
});
µ::_();

Now you can call it in your browser like this :

http://localhost:8080/?name=hello+world&number=123

array(2) { ["name"]=> string(11) "hello world" ["number"]=> string(3) "123" }

Important:

• You must setup a front-controller pattern for redirecting all requests to the index.php file.
If you are using Apache you must define an .htaccess like this:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php

• Some web server configurations appends the query string part of the request URL to the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] global, therefore breaking routing on parameters passing.
In these cases you must replace the REQUEST_URI text in µ class definition with REDIRECT_URL.

A more stable approach is replacing the getenv(REQUEST_URI) with strtok(getenv(REQUEST_URI),'?') in µ class definition.

Please, remember that this is an experiment just for fun. Do not use it in production!
