Flight

Flight is an extensible micro-framework for PHP. It allows you to quickly build RESTful web applications with minimal effort:

require 'flight/Flight.php';

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

Flight::start();

Installation

1. Download and extract the Flight framework files 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]

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';

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

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

Finally, start the framework.

Flight::start();

Requirements

Flight requires PHP 5.3 or later.
