Installation

Requirements

• PHP 8.2 or higher
• Composer 2.0+
• ext-json, ext-mbstring

Install via Git

• Stable

StrataPHP installs like any other PHP package. No global binaries needed.

git clone git@github.com:lazysod/strataphp-public.git

Your First App

Create public_html/index.php:

<?php
            require __DIR__ . '/../vendor/autoload.php';

            use Strata\App;

            $app = new App();

            $app->get('/', fn() => 'Hello, Strata');

            $app->run();

Run it locally

For quick testing, use PHP's built-in server:

php -S localhost:8000 -t public

Then open http://localhost:8000 in your browser. You should see "Hello, Strata".

Or use XAMPP / MAMP and point the document root to public_html/.

Directory Structure

StrataPHP uses PSR-4 autoloading mapped to public_html/ for shared hosting compatibility:
