Project layout:

$ /t/project> tree .

Start dev server:

cd public && php -S 127.0.0.1:8080 cliserver.php

For some more details about routing with the PHP built in development server, see my article

cliserver.php

<?php
// public/cliserver.php (router script)

if (php_sapi_name() !== 'cli-server') {
    die('this is only for the php development server');
}

if (is_file($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/'.$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) {
    // probably a static file...
    return false;
}
$_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] = '/index.php';
// if needed, fix also 'PATH_INFO' and 'PHP_SELF' variables here...

// require the entry point
require 'index.php';

index.php

<?php
// public/index.php (the normal entry point for your web app)

print_r($_SERVER);

//$app = new App();
//$app->run();

Thanks for this gist! It saved me big time!
