Parse_url and ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) - php

Question

I´m trying to pick up the correct path with parse_url and $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in order to show the correct page, however the problem I´m having is that only my index.php page is showing.
The url to my index.php page should be localhost/mvc-framework which is all correct, but when I take:
localhost/mvc-framework/file.php it is also showing my index.php. Basically anything I type in after somefolder also show the index.php page...
I really hope someone can help me out as I´ve been struggling with this for almost 3 hole days.
I´m probably stupid:/
I have all files in "mvc-framework" and inside I have one index.php file that ties everything together and 3 folders: "controller", "model", "views".
In controller folder I have one file called main.php which is were I´m trying to pick up the url:
<?php
/* controller/main.php
*/
class mainController
{
public $load;
public $urlValues;
public function __construct()
{
$url = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
$url = explode('/', $url['path']);
$this->urlValues = array('controller' => $url[1]);
//index page
if ($this->urlValues['controller'] == "mvc-framework") {
$text = array("key" => "Hello");
$this->load = new load();
$this->load->view('index.php', $text);
}
//register page
elseif ($this->urlValues['controller'] == "mvc-framework/test.php") {
$text = array("key" => "Test");
$this->load = new load();
$this->load->view('test.php', $text);
} else {
echo 'error';
}
}
}
In the "model" folder I have one file called load.php which will take the url and point it to the the correct file in the views folder...
<?php
/* model/load.php
*/
class load
{
/* This function takes parameter
* $file_name and match with file in views.
*/
function view($file_name, $data = null)
{
if (is_readable('views/' . $file_name)) {
if (is_array($data)) {
extract($data);
}
require 'views/' . $file_name;
} else {
echo $this->file;
die ('404 Not Found');
}
}
}
In the views folder I have 2 files, one index.php and one test.php...
And here is my bootstrap/index.php file which is in the root folder and bind everything together...
<?php
/* index.php
*/
require_once 'model/load.php';
require_once 'controller/main.php';
new mainController();

Answer 1

try this
$url = explode('/', trim($url['path'], '/'));
and $this->urlValues['controller'] == 'test.php' for request localhost/mvc-framework/test.php

You always get the index.php beacuse of the .htaccess file, which always redirect the request to the frontend controller, index.php. I suppose...
