Phalcon Framework

Build Status Windows Build Phalcon Backers OpenCollective OpenCollective

Phalcon is an open source web framework delivered as a C extension for the PHP language providing high performance and lower resource consumption.

A big thank you to our Backers; you rock!

Contents

Get Started

Phalcon is written in Zephir/C with platform independence in mind. As a result, Phalcon is available on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, FreeBSD and MacOS. You can either download a binary package for the system of your choice or build it from source.

NOTE: Phalcon requires the PSR PHP extension to be installed and enabled.

Windows

To install Phalcon on Windows:

  1. Download Phalcon for Windows
  2. Extract the DLL file and copy it to your PHP extensions directory
  3. Edit your php.ini file and add this line: 
    extension=php_phalcon.dll
  4. Finally, restart your web server

Hint: To ensure that your Phalcon installation was successful, debug with

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

and search for a section mentioning the Phalcon extension.

Linux/Unix/Mac

On a Unix-based platform you can easily compile and install the extension from sources.

Requirements

Prerequisite packages are:

  • PHP 7.2.x/7.3.x development resources
  • g++ >= 4.4 | clang++ >= 3.x | vc++ >= 11
  • GNU make >= 3.81
  • re2c >= 0.13
Ubuntu
# Use actual PHP development headers and tools here
sudo apt-get install php-dev libpcre3-dev gcc make re2c
Suse
# Use actual PHP development headers and tools here
sudo zypper install php7-devel gcc make re2c
CentOS/Fedora/RHEL
# Use actual PHP development headers and tools here

We recommend to use command line to build Phalcon extension suitable for your system. Another way is to use OSX MAMP ready extension: https://github.com/majksner/php-phalcon-mamp

There is Gentoo ebuilds maintained for the Phalcon: https://github.com/smoke/phalcon-gentoo-overlay

Compilation

Follow these instructions to generate a binary extension for your platform:

git clone git://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon.git
cd cphalcon/build
sudo ./install

If you have specific php versions running

git clone https://github.com/phalcon/cphalcon
cd cphalcon/build
sudo ./install --phpize /usr/bin/phpize7.3 --php-config /usr/bin/php-config7.3

Add the extension to your php.ini:

Finally, restart the web server.
