Get started

Inphinit is a minimalist framework with outstanding performance, designed to promote the use of native PHP functions rather than reinventing the wheel.

System requirements

Recommended: PHP 8 (see the currently supported versions at https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php)
- Note: Backward compatible down to PHP 5.4
(Optional) The Intl PHP extension, required for the Inphinit\Utility\Strings class.
(Optional) The COM or cURL PHP extension, required for the Inphinit\Filesystem\Size class.
Composer or Git

Install using Composer

If you use composer, run the command (more details in https://getcomposer.org/doc/03-cli.md):

php composer.phar create-project --prefer-dist inphinit/inphinit:^2.1 application

If you use composer global, run the command:

composer create-project --prefer-dist inphinit/inphinit:^2.1 application

Install using Git

If you use Git, for install run this command:

git clone --recurse-submodules -b v2.1.0 https://github.com/inphinit/inphinit.git application

Start a development server

Ater install you can start project using built-in web server

./run serve

Then open http://localhost:5000/ in your web browser.

To customize the host and port, you can use a command like this:

./run serve --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8080

Then open http://localhost:8080/ in your web browser.

Create routes

To create a new route, edit the system/main.php file, if you want the route to only be available in development mode, then edit the system/dev.php file.

The route system supports controllers, callables and anonymous functions, examples:


          <?php

          // anonymous functions
          $app->action('GET', '/closure', function () {
              return 'Hello "closure"!';
          });

          function foobar() {
              return 'Hello "function"!';
          }

          // callable function
          $app->action('GET', '/function', 'foobar');

          // callable class static method (Note: autoload will include the file)
          $app->action('GET', '/class-static-method', ['MyNameSpace\Foo\Bar', 'hello']);

          // callable class method
          $instance = new Sample();
          $app->action('GET', '/class-method', [$instance, 'hello']);

          // do not add the Controller prefix, the framework itself will add

Web Servers

Here are basic instructions to configure Inphinit on servers:
