+This is a simple example that shows how a simple PHP routing system. 
+This is not for production use but for people who want to understand how such a system works.
+Take a look in the index.php file. You can use the Route::add method to add a new route to your project.
+The first argument takes the URL. 
+You can use Regexp in there to parse variables directly out of the URL und push them to the handler method.
+The handler is the second argument of the add method.
+Dont forget to set the basepath in index.php and .htaccess file.
