Installation

Requirements

Requirement	Version
PHP	8.4
Composer	2.x

Install the package

composer require aseguragonzalez/php-mvc

Verify the CLI

The package ships with the mvc binary:

vendor/bin/mvc --help

You should see the list of available commands. If you prefer a shorter path, add vendor/bin to your PATH.

PSR-11 container

The framework resolves controllers, middlewares, and services through a PSR-11 container. The package depends only on psr/container — you choose the implementation. php-di/php-di is a common choice:

composer require php-di/php-di

The scaffolded bootstrap (generated by mvc create-app) wires DI\Container by default.

PSR-7 HTTP foundation

The framework's MvcWebApp reads globals with $_SERVER, $_GET, $_POST, and $_FILES to build an internal PSR-7 request. You do not need to install a separate PSR-7 implementation unless your code interacts with PSR-7 objects directly.

Next step
