How can PHP be used to handle URL parameters and route requests to the appropriate content, similar to how Wordpress processes URLs?

To handle URL parameters and route requests to the appropriate content in PHP, you can use the $_GET superglobal array to retrieve the parameters from the URL and then use conditional statements to determine which content to display based on the parameters. You can create a routing system that maps URLs to specific PHP files or functions to handle the requests effectively. 

<?php
// Retrieve URL parameters
if(isset($_GET['page'])) {
    $page = $_GET['page'];
} else {
    $page = 'home';
}

// Route requests to appropriate content
switch($page) {
    case 'home':
        include 'home.php';
        break;
    case 'about':
        include 'about.php';
        break;
    case 'contact':
        include 'contact.php';
        break;
    default:
        include '404.php';
        break;
}
?>
