# Toro

Toro is a PHP router for developing RESTful web applications and APIs. It is
designed for minimalists who want to get work done.

- [Official Website](http://toroweb.org)
- [Changelog](https://github.com/anandkunal/ToroPHP/wiki/Changelog)
- [Design Goals](https://github.com/anandkunal/ToroPHP/wiki/Design-Goals)

## Features

- RESTful routing using strings, regular expressions, and defined types
(`number`, `string`, `alpha`)
- Flexible error handling and callbacks via `ToroHook`
- Intuitive and self-documented core (`Toro.php`)
- Tested with PHP 5.3 and above

## "Hello, world"

The canonical "Hello, world" example:

```php
"HelloHandler",
));
```

## Routing Basics

Routing with Toro is simple:

```php
"SplashHandler",
"/catalog/page/:number" => "CatalogHandler",
"/product/:alpha" => "ProductHandler",
"/manufacturer/:string" => "ManufacturerHandler"
));
```

An application's route table is expressed as an associative array
(`route_pattern => handler`). This is closely modeled after
[Tornado](http://tornadoweb.org) (Python). Routes are not expressed as
anonymous functions to prevent unnecessary code duplication for RESTful
dispatching.

From the above example, route stubs, such as `:number`, `:string`, and
`:alpha` can be conveniently used instead of common regular expressions.
Of course, regular expressions are still welcome. The previous example could
also be expressed as:

```php
"SplashHandler",
"/catalog/page/([0-9]+)" => "CatalogHandler",
"/product/([a-zA-Z0-9-_]+)" => "ProductHandler",
"/manufacturer/([a-zA-Z]+)" => "ManufacturerHandler"
));
```

Pattern matches are passed in order as arguments to the handler's request
method. In the case of `ProductHandler` above:

```php
installer.php
$ less installer.php
$ # When you're certain it's safe...
$ php installer.php
```

Create a `composer.json` file in your project root:

```js
{
"require": {
"torophp/torophp": "dev-master"
}
}
```

Install via composer:

```sh
$ php composer.phar install
```

### Server Configuration

#### Apache

You may need to add the following snippet in your Apache HTTP server virtual host configuration or **.htaccess** file.

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

Alternatively, if you’re lucky enough to be using a version of Apache greater than 2.2.15, then you can instead just use this one, single line:
```apacheconf
FallbackResource /index.php
```

#### IIS

For IIS you will need to install URL Rewrite for IIS and then add the following rule to your `web.config`:
```xml













```

#### Nginx

Under the `server` block of your virtual host configuration, you only need to add three lines.
```conf
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$args;
}
```
