SLIM FRAMEWORK

Hello everyone!

I have some questions about the Slim Framework! Would anyone be willing to help a little?

Okay!
First one: 

<?php
  $app->get('/product101', function() use($app){
    $app->render('product101.twig');
  })->name('product101');
?>

In the above, can I make the "101" part variable? and if I do, how do I access and change it?

2: Also, I'm using twig. I am trying to include an array and a few functions from a separate twig file but it says that and include can't have a body... any ides?

3: For posting from a form I use:

<?php
$name = $app->request->post('user_name');
?>

How do you post an image into a variable? or in general, how to receive an image from a form? I would probably need both html and slim sides explained.

I am really new to this, will appreciate the help! Also I would read good resources if you refer me please!

Thanks!

Hey Gleb,

I'm not too familiar with the Slim Framework, so I can't really help you there man. I did, however, edit your post so that you can take advantage of the syntax highlighting... so you can attract better answers.

Thanks! It seems quite difficult to find help for SLIM and twig

I suggest you take this course. It is based on Slim 2 and 3 will be released soon. I understand that the changes are going to be significant enough to make some of this course outdated, though.

Questions 1 and 2 are addressed in the course. The course will give you a background that will allow you to understand and apply to other code as well.

With respect to the third questions, I am not 100% sure this is correct, but I think you have a user upload the picture using a different method. Storage of pictures in a database is typically really only storing a path to the picture that is stored in another folder. I am not aware of any courses here that teach how to do that. It is something that I want to figure out for a project of mine once I get other tasks done.
