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
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 inphinit/inphinit:^2.1-beta.5 my-app

If you use composer global, run the command:

composer create-project inphinit/inphinit:^2.1-beta.5 my-app

Install using Git

If you use Git, for install run this command:

git clone --recurse-submodules -b 2.1-beta.5 https://github.com/inphinit/inphinit.git my-app

Start a development server

After installation, navigate to the directory where the project was created:

cd my-app

Then run the command to start the 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']);

Web Servers
