But, When i do www.example.com/post/ I am getting 404 Page not Found. Do I have to do any thing else? I am just doing echo. Can any one tell me how do I solve this issue

Answer 1

For a POST path in Slim, you have to POST a request to www.example.com/post/. Loading that URL in a browser tab (a GET request) won't invoke the callback function.
Slim docs say:
Use the Slim application's post() method to map a callback function to a resource URI that is requested with the HTTP POST method.
You can test your requests thoroughly with a HTTP requesting service like https://www.hurl.it/
