If you followed along with the teacher when he installed slim using composer then you are no doubt using a different version of Slim then the teacher since it has been updated.

In order to follow along with this video I recommend switching to the 2.6.3 version. Simply go your composer.json file and and change the version of slim to:

"require": {
        "monolog/monolog": "^1.22",
        "slim/slim": "2.6.3"
    }

Then open your console and type

composer update

That should update slim to a similar version of what the teacher is using.

You should now be able to follow along with the teacher.

If you want to use slim v3:

  1. Install slim/php-view
  2. Your code should look like this:

use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request; use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

require 'vendor/autoload.php'; date_default_timezone_set ('Europe/Moscow');

$app = new \Slim\App;

$container = $app->getContainer(); $container['view'] = new \Slim\Views\PhpRenderer('templates');

$app->get('/', function(Request $req, Response $res, $args = []) { $res= $this->view->render($res, 'index.html'); return $res; });

$app->get('/contact', function(Request $req, Response $res, $args = []) { $res= $this->view->render($res, 'contact.html'); return $res; });

$app->run();
