[](#slimphp-vanilla-v2)

Discontinued support in favour for a new Slim PHP 3 version
-----------------------------------------------------------

[](#discontinued-support-in-favour-for-a-new-slim-php-3-version)

I have began a new version of this that concentrate on a bit more [PHP Slim 3 Vanilla](https://github.com/simondavies/SlimPHP3-Vanilla)

### Details

[](#details)

A simple base app, using the PHP framework [PHP Slim](http://www.slimframework.com/) at its heart, and implementing [Laravel's Eloquent](https://github.com/illuminate/database) ORM.

### Official Documentation

[](#official-documentation)

Please find the following documentation details for further reading on the main items used within this app.

##### Slim PHP

[](#slim-php)

[Slim Documentation](http://docs.slimframework.com/) for further details.

##### Laravel's Eloquent ORM

[](#laravels-eloquent-orm)

Laravels [Eloquent ORM](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/eloquent), currently using version 4.2.

\##Getting Started #####Server Set Up I am using laravels [Homestead](https://github.com/laravel/homestead) VM for my developement, more on this can be found at the laravel website [laravel.com](http://laravel.com/docs/4.2/homestead). A great video on the installation and usage of Homestead can be also seen at [Laracasts.com](https://laracasts.com/lessons/say-hello-to-laravel-homestead-two)\#####Installation &amp; Set up I am mainly using composer for the whole install and programming. For more details on how to set up and install Composer can be found at [getcomposer.org](https://getcomposer.org/)

```
   composer create-project simondavies/slimphp-vanilla your-project-name

```

Now set up homestead, so that we point a test domain name to our new set up, as below:

First of ssh into your homestead server (Please read the Homested docs for further information):

Then run the homestead server code as below to point to your domain name to the public folder

```
     serve mytestdomainname.app /home/vagrant/Code/path/to/public/directory

```

Once this has been done you will then need to add your domain name to the mac host files, located at /etc/hosts

Once open add the following to the host file:

```
   192.168.10.10 mytestdomainname.app

```

Next make a copy of the .env.example file and rename this .env.

Now you should be able to type '' into the browser and the demo Slim Vanilla site should show up.
