Is it a router?

Question

PHP

Good day ! Wanted to ask, not much confused. As I understand it, the router can be made both in pure php and using .htacceess or not - well, that is, use either one or the other - or all at the same time, please tell me otherwise I'm confused

Answer 1

htaccess or its equivalent is needed in any case.
is simple in one case, all addresses are resolved by htaccess / analog, in the second, all addresses by htaccess / analog are wrapped in puff, which resolves them.

Answer 2

In my opinion, using htaccess as a router is insanity. It can occasionally be used for some kind of permanent redirect, but in general this is a bad practice. It is necessary to route out of puff. Moreover, in all normal frameworks and cms there are tools for this.
