All I get is a white screen following the example through workspace.

I've typed the code exactly as the instructor, but it seems that all I'm getting when I hit the preview is a white screen. Here's my code:

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';
date_default_timezone_set('America/New_York');

//$log = new Logger('name');
//$log->pushHandler(new StreamHandler('app.txt', Logger::WARNING));
//$log->addWarning('Foo');

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$app->get('/', function() use($app) {
  $app-render('index.html');
});

$app->get('/contact', function(){
  echo 'Feel free to contact us.';
});

$app->run();

What am I missing here.

Thank you.

I figured it out: this is wrong:

<?php
$app->get('/', function() use($app) { $app-render('index.html'); });

should be

<?php
$app->get('/', function() use($app) { $app->render('index.html'); });

Thank you
