[PHP] Newbie - Request interface for PHP 5 website

[[EMAIL PROTECTED]]

For PHP 4.x sites I used my index page to capture the HTTP request and use a
switch statement to call the content or task based on the $_GET and $_POST
arrays.  That was very inefficient and the Switch case became totally
unmanageable along with the rest of the site.

I am re-designing the site using PHP5 and OO design patterns like Composite
and Builder as an example.  I know these are basic patterns but its a start.
Anyway I am not sure how to capture the HTTP request and pass it to the
relevant objects.  Is there a generic Œwayı developers process the request
to call the classes and generate the needed objects in PHP5?

Thanks for your help!
