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!
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.
To install Phalcon on Windows:
- Download Phalcon for Windows
- Extract the DLL file and copy it to your PHP extensions directory
- Edit your php.ini file and add this line:
extension=php_phalcon.dll - 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.
On a Unix-based platform you can easily compile and install the extension from sources.
