Slim is a PHP micro framework that helps you quickly write simple yet powerful web applications and APIs.
<?php
use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new \Slim\App;
$app->get('/hello/{name}', function (Request $request, Response $response) {
$name = $request->getAttribute('name');
$response->getBody()->write("Hello, $name");
return $response;
});
$app->run();We recommend you install the Slim Framework with the Composer dependency manager.
The easiest way to start working with Slim is to create a project using Slim-Skeleton as a base by running this bash command:
$ php composer.phar create-project slim/slim-skeleton [my-app-name]Replace [my-app-name] with the desired directory name for your new application.
You can then run it with PHP's built-in webserver:
$ cd [my-app-name]; php -S 0.0.0.0:8080 -t public public/index.phpSlim provides a fast and powerful router that maps route callbacks to specific HTTP request methods and URIs. It supports parameters and pattern matching.
Build your application with concentric middleware to tweak the HTTP request and response objects around your Slim app.
Slim supports any PSR-7 HTTP message implementation so you may inspect and manipulate HTTP message method, status, URI, headers, cookies, and body.
Slim supports dependency injection so you have complete control of your external tools. Use any Container-Interop container.
We are very happy to have added our first Slim 3 tutorial to the documentation! Contributed by Lorna Mitchell, First Application Walkthrough guides you though building your first application with Slim Framework.
This release tidies up a few issues found in our PSR-7 implementation around the Request’s body and uploaded files. In particular, we now handle file input elements with names containing nested arrays correctly.
