howto use fatfree php framework without rewrite engine - .htaccess

Question

I'm not able to use an htaccess for my project therefore clean URLs doesn't work for routing. Is there a way to to use query params instead?
example
myf3project.net/user/show isn't possible. Instead I want to do something like this:
myf3project.net?path=user/show or
myf3project.net?view=user&action=show

Answer 1

You can also overwrite the $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] for this purpose:
$f3->route('GET /user', function ($f3) { echo "user"; });
$f3->route('GET /user/#action',function($f3,$params){
echo "user->".$params['action'];
});
if ($f3->exists('GET.path',$path))
$f3->URI = $f3->BASE.'/'.$path;
$f3->run();
and then just open
http://myf3project.net?path=user/show

Do you mean that mod_rewrite is not available? That's a problem indeed. You can however call $f3->mock to the rescue.
Here's a quick example:
$f3 = require('lib/base.php');
// Homepage
$f3->route('GET /',function($f3){
echo 'This is home. '.
'Click here to see the contact form.';
});
// Contact form
$f3->route('GET|POST /contact',function($f3){
echo 'This is the contact form. '.
'Click here to go back home.'.
'<form method="post" action="">'.
'<textarea name="message"></textarea>'.
'<button>Send message</button></form>';
if ($f3->VERB=='POST')
echo 'Submitted message:<br>'.
nl2br($f3->get('POST.message'));
});
// Workaround here: $f3->mock is used instead of $f3->run
$path=$f3->get('GET.path');
if (#$path[0]!=='/')
$path='/';
$f3->mock($f3->VERB.' '.$path,$_POST);

Answer 3

It's still kinda possible, unfortunately you have to build most on your own.
Very basic example:
<?php
$f3 = require 'lib/base.php';
$f3->route('GET /', function() use($f3) {
switch($f3->get('view')) {
case 'user':
// do something
break;
case 'admin':
// do something
break;
}
});
The "/" route should work even without .htaccess.

Answer 4

Based on #xfra35's answer, I propose a solution that will allow you to have paths like this:
/index.php/foo/bar
Instead of:
/index.php?path=/foo/bar
But you still can use query variables (like /index.php/foo/bar?test=123) and get them using $_GET['test'] or $f3->get('GET.test'):
Just replace your $f3->run(); with:
$path=$_SERVER['PATH_INFO'];
if (#$path[0]!=='/')
$path='/';
$f3->mock($f3->VERB.' '.$path.'?'.$_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$_POST);
