Screen blank on seeing preview of the code below (after adding functions for '/' page and '/contact' page)

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$app->get(‘/‘, function(){ echo ‘This is Home Page’; });

$app->get(‘/contact‘, function(){ echo ’Feel Free to contact’; });

$app->run();

I am running this on my local machine (Mac air, using Mamp) and everything was working fine till

$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) { echo "Hello, $name"; });

Please help

Hi,

Did you try [localhost machine here]/index.php/hello/John

Is everything before $app->run(); that's important. You can enable debugging http://docs.slimframework.com/errors/debug/ -- Just make sure you enable debugging on your local machine as well, Check in your phpinfo() which php.ini actually is read, and modify display_errors = On

I tested this piece of code and everything works fine on my local machine.

I am still stuck at this point as '/contact' is not working in spite of nearly everything tried.

Also, please let me know how to check phpinfo() and what do you mean by which php.ini is read.

Sorry, but I am a beginner here and a mechanical engineer, so very less idea.

Hi,

Did you mange to fix this? If not please can you follow this guide:

  1. Go to Applications/Mamp/bin/php/phpVERSION/conf/php.ini
  2. Set display_errors = On AND error_reporting=E_ALL

After this try running '/contact' and paste here the errors, or please attach a screenshot -- everything.
