Replicate Google App Engine app.yaml handlers in PHP outside of GAE

I am considering building my PHP project in Google App Engine (GAE), and I would like to be confident that I could easily port my code to a more standard Apache Tomcat & PHP server if needed. The one aspect that I cannot find a standard implementation for is GAE's app.yaml handlers. Let me define the functionality that I care about:

The ability to explicitly route incoming requests to a specific php script for fulfillment based on URL patterns.

My searches thus far have lead me to the Tomcat .htaccess RewriteEngine. However, it seems like this literally re-writes the URL and redirects the client machine to that URL. Am I wrong? Other than this solution, I have found nothing else that is promising. Can someone suggest a replacement for GAE's app.yaml handlers?

Thanks in advance!

Seems like you are looking for Apache mod_rewrite which lets you setup rewrite rules that are interpreted behinds the scenes and do not change the external URL.
