How will routing work faster: php or .htaccess?

Question

PHP

Routing needs to be done. There will be a maximum of 10 options. I made a redirect to one script and I already parse $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] in it. But maybe htaccess will work faster?

Answer 1

Of course, it is better to write the contents to the virt configuration file. host, then the rules will be in memory.

Answer 2

htaccess is faster, php is more flexible
In routing to php, htaccess will still be involved too

Answer 3

htaccess is faster BUT. only works for Apache, i.e. no PHP-FPM.
more difficult to update. the simplest logic of work - for example, you can’t do it anymore to give access to the route only for a certain group of users
