That looks indeed like a small framework. Some remarks:

1. You don't need apache rewriting you can use $_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] and 
use url's like:

http:/mysite.com/index.php/news/Dog-Bites-Man

or a page controller:

http:/mysite.com/index.php?site=%2Fnews%2FDog-Bites-Man


2. For the sake of security, put the part that accesses the DB outside 
of index.php. It contains an uid and a password.


The scheme will be like this:

in index.php:
include "/path/ouside/webroot/dispatcher.php"

in dispatcher.php:
$conn = new PDO(....);
$stmnt = $conn->prepare(
    'SELECT target from dispatch WHERE source = :src');
$stmnt->execute(':src' => $_SERVER['PATH_INFO']);
$row = $stmnt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);

if ($row === false)
    // dispatch to 404
    ;
else
    include('/path/outside/webroot/' . $row['target']);


That's all.
