You want to create a simple Website but you don't want to start from scratch or a complex Framework ? You need to try Slim Framework
Installing Slim Framework would be much easier if we're using Composer.
Create a folder (your project folder) in your Web server (htdocs for apache users). for example we create "slim" . create a new file "composer.json" inside slim and type this :
{
"require": {
"slim/slim": "2.*"
}
}
Open you terminal and make sure its under slim folder for example
root@AcerXtimeline:/opt/lampp/htdocs/slim#
now type : composer install or php composer.phar install (depending on how you install the composer). If you follow this Composer Install Tutorial, you just need the first option
root@AcerXtimeline:/opt/lampp/htdocs/slim# composer install
You'll see the process
Loading composer repositories with package information
Installing dependencies (including require-dev)
- Installing slim/slim (2.4.3)
Downloading: 100%
Writing lock file
Generating autoload files
Once its done, create index.php and type :
require "vendor/autoload.php";
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get("/",function(){
echo "Hello World";
});
$app->run();
Also edit .htaccess file :
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
so you can now open it in Browser :
http://localhost/slim
