In a quick post to his site Sameer Borate looks more in-depth at how MVC routers work to translate the incoming request and point it to the right code for handling. A MVC Router class or a Dispatcher inspects the URL of an HTTP request and attempts to match individual URL components to a Controller and a method defined in that controller, passing along any arguments to the method defined. He provides the code for a simple example, matching the path directly from $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] to a key name in a set of routes.

And even when a growing amount of providers brought free images to the web, there were no dedicated food photo providers among them. Now, finally, there’s Foodshot, a website with Tumblr looks in the style of Unsplash. The site collects high-quality photos, with the only thing they have in common being them displaying victuals. Foodshot: Free Images Under Creative Commons Zero All photos are distributed under the license Creative Commons Zero, which is about the same as Public Domain.
