Silex Problems with PHP 5.3.2? - php

Question

I tried the examples from Silex and put my Controllers in a seperate directory and class.
No the controller method will get the Request and Application objects passed by default. This works on my dev machine which has 5.3.14 but not on the default Ubuntu 5.3.2. It give me:
PHP Catchable fatal error: Argument 1 passed to Sv\Controller\Index::index() must be an instance of Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request, none given, called in /site/include/app/bootstrap.php on line 23 and defined in /site/include/app/Sv/Controller/Index.php on line 46
Here's my bootstrap PHP:
<?php
require_once __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';
use Sv\Repository\PostRepository;
use Sv\Controller;
$app = new Silex\Application();
// define global service for db access
$app['posts.repository'] = $app->share( function () {
return new Sv\Repository\PostRepository;
});
// register controller as a service
$app->register(new Silex\Provider\ServiceControllerServiceProvider());
$app['default.controller'] = $app->share(function () use ($app) {
return new Controller\Index();
});
$app['service.controller'] = $app->share(function () use ($app) {
return new Controller\Service($app['posts.repository']);
});
// define routes
$app->get('/', 'default.controller:index');
$app->get('/next', 'default.controller:next');
$service = $app['controllers_factory'];
$service->get('/', "service.controller:indexJsonAction");
// mount routes
$app->mount('/service', $service);
// definitions
$app->run();
and here's the Controller code:
namespace Sv\Controller;
use Silex\Application;
use Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request;
class Index
{
public function index(Request $request, Application $app)
{
return 'Route /index reached';
}
public function next(Request $request, Application $app)
{
return 'Route /next reached';
}
}
Why does this not work?
I hope this is not the same problem that prevents me from using ZF2 under PHP 5.3.2...

Silex requires PHP 5.3.3, as you can see in their composer.json:
"require": {
"php": ">=5.3.3",
...
And it also stated in the README file:
Silex works with PHP 5.3.3 or later.
This is due to the fact that Symfony2 is no longer supporting PHP 5.3.2.
