Answer 1

1. You should configure your mod rewriting. All requests should be go to index.php. And not domain part should be send to the GET parameter. For example: example.com/tratata/tratata. print_r($_GET) should contains 'tratata/tratata';
2. Create class, which will be explode this GET parameter. It is your FrontController.
3. Create class tratataController.
4. Load class by get Parameter.

Sorry for my english.

Answer 2

Pick a framework and look at the implementation of their FrontController. Figure out how it works and build your own.

That said, why on earth would you not want to use a framework? The only reason I can think of is that you want to know how it works. And for that just google and look at existing sources.

Answer 3

I would recommend building a dynamic invocation front controller. This is what the frameworks use. Here is a link to get started.

This book has a great chapter on Presentation Patterns during which he covers the front controller pattern.
