   No you are wrong sir it is working perfectly just pass the url parameters to your controller method and then you can use them . you said that replacing call_user_func_array with call_user_func will solve the problem ?? have you tried that ? how would that be possible when we have to call an object method by parameters so we need the object the method and parameters like this call_user_func_array(array($this->url_controller, $this->url_action), $this->url_params); while call_user_func can only call a function with parameters (outside an object)

   For me, when I changed it to call_user_func , it worked.
   In my specific situation, my controller is "Dashboard" and my method "org". If I call example.com/dashboard/org/param1/param2/ , and If I uncomment the debug lines in the splitUrl function, it returns:
   Controller: dashboard Action: org Parameters: Array ( [0] => param1 [1] => param2 )

   Therefore, url_params is confirmed as an array as above. It's then passed to the controller and method/action as per line 44 in Application.
   However, if my method is simply:

   public function org($params){ echo gettype($params); }

   it returns string.
   If I change line 44 to call_user_func but change nothing else (Ie: the arguments stay exactly the same), the above function returns an array.

   HOWEVER, If I change line 44 to:

   call_user_func_array(array($this->url_controller, $this->url_action), array($this->url_params));

   This also works. It's like I have to declare url_params as an array type again for it to work. Somehow call_user_func_array almost converts url_params into a string because it's not explicitly stated as an array in the argument line (even though it's set as an array as per private $url_params = array();

   So - PHP bug perhaps? Again, my skill is intermediate at best, so there might be something expected/normal that im missing here.

   this is what i do for multiple parameter

   call_user_func_array(array($this->url_controller, $this->url_action), array($this->url_params));

   // url_action no longer get parameter for easier multiple parameter
   // now you can do like //site/controller/action/param1/value1/param2/value2 and so on
   if (count($url) > 2 && count($url) % 2 == 0) {
       unset($url[0], $url[1]);
       $param = array_values($url);
       for ($i=0; $i < count($param); $i++) {
           if ($i % 2 == 0) {
               $params[$param[$i]] = $param[$i+1];
           }
       }
       $this->url_params = $params;
   }

   So this is actually already done in the base code, it's just a bit wonky and undocumented.

   When you go to http://example.com/controller/method/param1/param2/param3 you should hit the /controller/method/ page, with param1-3 passes as arguments (provided controller and method exist, but I'll get into that later). In order to call the parameters, you either have to declare them in the method, like:

   public function index($param1 = null, $param2 = null, $param3 = null)
   

   OR! Or you can leave the declarations out, and use func_get_args like so:

   public function index()
   {
       $params = func_get_args();
       print_r($params);
   }
   

   Now, if you have a page, like /songs/ that you want to be able to do http://example.com/songs/1 or http://example.com/songs/1/edit etc, you can place the following code just after line 54:

   elseif (is_numeric($this->url_action)) {
       $this->url_params = array_merge([$this->url_action], $this->url_params);
       $this->url_controller->index($this->url_params);
   }
   

   The only problem I've run into with this method is that your controller file can get a bit messy if you have a bunch of methods in that file.

   This isn't really an issue with the way the site works (because you'd want /songs/bldfkjashfk to return a 404 error page), but more of what happens when a project doesn't have detailed documentation like the big projects tend to have. This can easily be remedied by writing a bit of a "how-to" on this, so it's not as confusing. Also, since this is just a framework, it's not meant to be the 100% solution to every problem you'll face, just a strong base to start your work from; some assembly will be required.

   @panique You can probably close this issue, and open an ongoing task about creating documentation for the project to alleviate any future confusion.
