Get user ID from front controller

I'm looking to create my own front controller for a mini project I'm working on. I used someones example that was shared on Stackoverflow which works great but now I'm trying to pass data such as a user ID.

.htaccess

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule . /front-controller.php [L]

front-controller.php

<?php

switch ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']) {
    case '/users':
        include 'users.php';
        break;
    case '/user/new':
        include 'users-new.php';
        break;
    default:
        include '404.php';
        break;
}

What I want to do now is have the value of USERID be passed to users.php as well ($_GET or any other way) from /users/USERID. Does anyone know a good way to approach this?

Solution

  • You can do it in the request body, in the URL (GET), in the headers.
