Installation

Requirements

• PHP 8.3 or higher
• Composer 2.0+
• ext-json, ext-mbstring

Install via Composer

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

• Stable
• Dev Version

composer require lazysod/strataphp

composer config repositories.strata vcs https://github.com/lazysod/strataphp-public
composer require lazysod/strataphp:dev-main

Your First App

Create public/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

Strata doesn’t force a structure, but this is a good start:

your-project/
                ├── public/
                │   └── index.php        ← Web entry point
                ├── src/                 ← Your app code, PSR-4 autoloaded
                ├── vendor/              ← Composer dependencies
                ├── composer.json
                └── .env                 ← Config, optional
