I have to say that after spending a long time w/ Dynamo / Tomcat /
Struts and mod_rewrite that eventually I got down to learning the
routing mechanism of frameworks (MVC) and find it to be extremely
flexible and very well thought out + could easily replicate a servlet
URI request setup.

I'm considering a simple site that I may design in PHP. PHP is
probably the simplest solution except for one thing: it carries a
very strong coupling between pages and scripts. As far as I've ever
been able to tell PHP really, really, really wants there to be a
single primary .php file for each URL that does not contain a query
string (though that file may of course invoke others).
For the system I'm designing that simply won't work. In Java
servlet environments it's relatively trivial to map one servlet to
an entire directory structure, so that it handles all requests for
all pages within that hierarchy.
Is there any *reasonable* way to do this in PHP? The only way I've
ever seen is what WordPress does: use mod_rewrite to redirect all
requests within the hierarchy to a custom dispatcher script that
converts actual hierarchy components into query string variables. I
am impressed by this hack, but it's way too kludgy for me to be
comfortable with. For one thing, I don't want to depend on
mod_rewrite if I don't have to.
Surely by now there's a better way? How do I overcome the one file
per URL assumption that PHP makes?
