simple php Slim project errors - php

Question

I've created a simple Slim microframework project using PHPStorm 8 on Windows 8.1 with WAMP Server installed. All WAMP Server settings are set by default.
I created a new project called pr1
I used 'Init Composer...' and then added some dependencies like slim/slim, slim/views, twig/twig.
Then I tried to create a simple application just like a given example on main Slim page:
I've created file called index.php in my project folder
index.php
code:
require 'app.php';
Then I've created file app.php
code
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
$app = new \Slim\Slim();
$app->get('/:name', function ($name) {
echo "Hello, $name";
});
$app->run();
After this I tried to run my project in Chrome and there an error 404 occured.
Then I tried to pass my name through url: http://localhost:63342/pr1/wade and there was PHPStorm error.
After this steps I've tried to close PHPStorm and my project in browser:
and it seemed like there's a typical Slim 404 error,but when I tried to pass my name through url again it gave me this error:

Answer 1

you need to include index.php for example http://localhost/pr1/index.php/test
to get rid of index.php use .htaccess or something equal based on your webserver

Answer 2

All it was because Apachi doesn't know what to do with all browser requests. For this reason I've created a simple .htaccess file:
RewriteEngine On
# Some hosts may require you to use the `RewriteBase` directive.
# If you need to use the `RewriteBase` directive, it should be the
# absolute physical path to the directory that contains this htaccess file.
#
# RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^ index.php [QSA,L]
After this I needed to use rewrite_module in my WAMP settings.
It perfectly works with project when I open it in browser through the explorer.
And after this I set up my server like this:
And that allows me to preview all my changes through PHPStorm
