Hi i am learning dynamic urls in php for creating custom router

i set the routes using this method

$router->get("/home",function(){

echo "this is home";

});

I didnt thought before that the first parameter(my router path) of get() could also be written
as /profile/{user}/id/{id}
I tried using regex for path in get() and use preg match to return value
but not happy with output as it requires regex every time i set new route

i would like to know how i would simply set the route like
/profile/{user}/id/{id} or /profile/{var : user}/id/{int : id}
and and get output like
if route-pattern matches return an array with key value where key is user and value is from string and so on

defined routes : requested routes : output

/home                   form action : /home                     o/p = array()

/home/{page}            form action : /home/about               o/p = array(page=>'about')

/profile/{name}/id/{id} form action : /profile/stackuser/id/200 o/p = array(name=>stackuser,id=>200)

>match('/user/(\d+)', function($id) {
echo "User ID: " . $id;
});

>match('/post/(\d+)', function($id) {
echo "Post ID: " . $id;
});

>match('/category/(\w+)', function($category) {
echo "Category: " . $category;
});

>dispatch($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
