Installation

1. Download the files.

If you're using Composer, you can run the following command:

composer require flightphp/core

OR you can download them directly and extract them to your web directory.

2. Configure your webserver.

For Apache, edit your .htaccess file with the following:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [QSA,L]

Note: If you need to use flight in a subdirectory add the line RewriteBase /subdir/ just after RewriteEngine On. Note: If you want to protect all server files, like a db or env file. Put this in your .htaccess file:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php

For Nginx, add the following to your server declaration:

server {
  location / {
    try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php;
  }
}

3. Create your index.php file.

First include the framework.

require 'flight/Flight.php';

If you're using Composer, run the autoloader instead.

require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Then define a route and assign a function to handle the request.

Flight::route('/', function () {
  echo 'hello world!';
});

Finally, start the framework.

Flight::start();
