PHX
===

[](#phx)

PHX (**PH**P Ne**X**t) is a language extension of PHP. While PHP is fully supported by PHX it adds some additional syntax to the existing syntax set of PHP which increases productivity and readability of common PHP code.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install PHX simply by adding the dependency to the project's `composer.json`.

```
composer require phxlang/phx

```

Or install it globally:

```
composer global require phxlang/phx

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

### Standalone

```

### With Composer
