Bare minimum w/ CakePHP (4 files/scripts: model, controller, view,
route) + provided you have a db with a table called "articles":
1) /models/article.php
public class Article extends AppModel {}
2) /controllers/news_controller.php
public class NewsController extends AppController {
function index($year, $month, $day) {
$created = $year . "-" . $month . "-" . $day;
$this->set('articles', $this->Article->findAllByCreated($date);
}
}
3) /config/routes.php
$Route->connect ('/news', array('controller'=>'News',
'action'=>'index'));
4) /app/views/news/index.php
<?php foreach($articles as $article): ?>
<?= $article['Article']['title'] ?>
<?php endforeach; ?>
mod_rewrite will push everything to index.php which will call a
"Dispatcher" to handle the URL + follow what has been declared in the
routes file. I believe this would be almost the exact mechanism
found in items like DispatchServlet in Spring, etc. (although I
think you can abstract more items).

Again, I'm not clear on what you are trying to serve. We probably
have to back up to the beginning and erase the assumption that PHP
has a one-to-one correspondence between a URL (or page) and a PHP
file. Having erased that, we have to ask what kind of content you
are trying to serve, then we have to look at PHP examples.
Here's a simple example: a news site backed by a database. URLs like
http://www.example.com/news/2007/07/05
http://www.example.com/news/2007/07/06
http://www.example.com/news/2007/07/07
http://www.example.com/news/2007/07/08
...
return pages which contain that day's headlines extracted from the
database.
One script, no more, must handle all dates. (I don't really care if
there are 2 or 3 scripts, but I do not want to have to write a
separate page for each URL. The number of PHP scripts must be
finite and fixed. It should not increase with the number of URLs
the script services.)
The only way I've ever seen this done in PHP is by using
mod_rewrite, though they're a couple of other interesting
suggestions in the thread I need to explore further. Do you have a
suggestion?
