Anyone?

Result:  
**Parse error** : syntax error, unexpected ‘$app’ (T\_VARIABLE) in **C:\Apache24\htdocs\myslimsite\index.php** on line **5**

The codes:

\<?php require "vendor/autoload.php" $app = new Slim\App(); $app- \>get("/",function(){ echo "Hello World"; }); $app- \>run(); ?\>

Hello:

Check if you are missing a “ **;** ” in your “first” line:

```php
require "vendor/autoload.php";

```

**Example Result:**

```php
require "vendor/autoload.php";

$app = new Slim\App();

$app->get("/", function() {
    echo "Hello World";
});

$app->run();

```
