Simple Routing: Clean URLs through index.php (e.g., /index.php/about)
Template System: Organized template files with reusable header/footer
Output Buffering: Templates can set variables that are used in header/footer
Configuration Management: Centralized constants in assets/config.php
No Dependencies: Pure PHP, no external libraries required

How It Works

index.php receives all requests and parses the URL
It determines which template to load from PAGE_TEMPLATES in config
The template file is loaded with ob_start() to buffer output
Templates can set variables like $pageTitle, $pageDescription, $additionalHead, etc.
The header is rendered (with access to template variables)
The buffered template content is output
The footer is rendered

Configuration

Edit assets/config.php to customize:

SITE_NAME - Your site name
SITE_URL - Your site URL
PAGE_TEMPLATES - Add/remove pages and their settings

Adding New Pages

Add a new entry to PAGE_TEMPLATES in assets/config.php:

'services' => [
    'file' => 'services.php',
    'title' => 'Services'
]

Create the template file in templates/services.php
The page will automatically appear in the navigation

Template Variables

Templates can set these variables to customize the output:

$pageTitle - Page title (appears in <title> tag)
$pageDescription - Meta description
$bodyClass - CSS class for <body> tag
$additionalHead - Extra HTML for <head> section
$footerExtra - Extra content in the footer

Example Template

<?php
$pageTitle = 'My Page';
$pageDescription = 'This is my page description';
$bodyClass = 'my-custom-class';
?>

<section>
    <h1>My Page Content</h1>
    <p>This content will be wrapped by header and footer.</p>
</section>

Server Configuration

Apache

Enable mod_rewrite and use this .htaccess for cleaner URLs (optional):

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/$1 [L]

PHP Built-in Server
