Silex, a simple Web Framework

This is AskNicely's fork of silex/silex, which was abandoned in June 2018. Read more on Symfony's blog.

Silex is a PHP micro-framework to develop websites based on Symfony components:

As part of forking, we also took on our own versioning of silex to match the Symfony components Silex will support. v4.x for Symfony 4 components, v5.x for Symfony 5 components etc. The last version of silex/silex was 2.2.4 and supported Symfony 3 and PHP 7.4.

Version 4+ of this fork also support PHP 8

<?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 7.1.3 or later.

Installation

The recommended way to install Silex is through Composer:
