An extensible micro-framework for PHP

What is Flight?

Flight is a fast, simple, extensible framework for PHP. Flight enables you to quickly and easily build RESTful web applications.

Basic Usage

// if installed with composer
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
// or if installed manually by zip file
// require 'flight/Flight.php';

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

Flight::start();

Skeleton App

You can also install a skeleton app. Go to flightphp/skeleton for instructions on how to get started!

Documentation

We have our own documentation website that is built with Flight (naturally). Learn more about the framework at docs.flightphp.com.

Requirements

Flight requires PHP 7.4 or greater.

Note: PHP 7.4 is supported because at the current time of writing (2024) PHP 7.4 is the default version for some LTS Linux distributions. Forcing a move to PHP >8 would cause a lot of heartburn for those users. The framework also supports PHP >8.
