Replace pattern in URL through f3-Routing engine - php

Question

I working on a flat-file-based project and I try to remove specific pattern from URL. The content is stored in a "content"-directory with markdown-files. I want sortable content-folder-names like:
contentfolder:
- 01-home
- 01-subpage
- 02-subpage2
- 02-page02
- 01-subpage
- 02-subpage2
etc...
At the moment, the URL would look something like this:
http://domain.com/01-home/02-subpage
This is really ugly ;)
I would prefer to get the url work as follows:
http://domain.com/home/subpage
I would prefer a solution, which works for every case of url:
http://domain.com/home/subpage/subsubpage/subsubsubpage
etc.
My script use at the moment the f3-Wildcard-Solution (GET /*). The requested URL will be replaced to get the content.
function find($path = "") {
$dirname = str_replace(globals::root(), "", globals::current());
if ($dirname == "/") {
$this->location = globals::content() . globals::home() . "/" . $path;
} else {
$this->location = globals::content() . $dirname . "/" . $path;
}
return $this;
}
Thank you guys!

Here's a solution, assuming that:
your markdown files are located in a content/ folder
every subfolder is prefixed with two digits and a hyphen (XX-something)
=>
$f3=require('lib/base.php');
$f3->set('CONTENT','content/');//location of markdown files
$f3->route('GET /*',function($f3,$params){
$path=str_replace('..','',$params[1]);//security
$dirs=glob($f3->get('CONTENT').'??-'.str_replace('/','/??-',$path));
if ($dirs) {
$dir=$dirs[0];//pick first match
echo \Markdown::instance()->convert($dir.'/default.md');
} else
$f3->error(404);
});
$f3->run();
