Silex is a simple web framework to develop simple websites based on Symfony2 components:

<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/../vendor/autoload.php';

$app = new Silex\Application();

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function ($name) use ($app) {
  return 'Hello '.$app->escape($name);
});

$app->run();

Silex works with PHP 5.3.3 or later.

The recommended way to install Silex is through composer. Just create a composer.json file and run the php composer.phar install command to install it:

{
    "require": {
        "silex/silex": "1.0.*"
    }
}

Alternatively, you can download the silex.zip file and extract it.

Read the documentation for more information.

To run the test suite, you need composer and PHPUnit.

$ php composer.phar install --dev
$ phpunit
