**Note:** The main "klein.php" repository seems to be inactive, in this fork we try to keep the projects maintenanced.

**klein.php** is a fast & flexible router for PHP 5.3+

- Flexible regular expression routing (inspired by [Sinatra](http://www.sinatrarb.com/))
- A set of [boilerplate methods](#api) for rapidly building web apps
- Almost no overhead => [2500+ requests/second](https://gist.github.com/878833)

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

1. PHP 5.3.x is required
2. Install Klein using [Composer](#composer-installation) (recommended) or manually
3. Setup [URL rewriting](https://gist.github.com/874000) so that all requests are handled by **index.php**
4. (Optional) Throw in some [APC](http://pecl.php.net/package/APC) for good measure

Composer Installation
---------------------

[](#composer-installation)

1. Get [Composer](http://getcomposer.org/)
2. Require Klein with `php composer.phar require klein/klein`
3. Add the following to your application's main PHP file: `require 'vendor/autoload.php';`

Example
-------

*Hello World* - Obligatory hello world example
