Yes. Those are the only 2. I get that when I go to either route.

So there should be registered additional wildcard route. You should show us more code.

This is all the code in the index.php file.

$\<?php  
if (PHP\_SAPI == ‘cli-server’) {  
// To help the built-in PHP dev server, check if the request was actually for  
// something which should probably be served as a static file  
$file = **DIR**. $\_SERVER[‘REQUEST\_URI’];  
if (is\_file($file)) {  
return false;  
}  
}

//register classes  
spl\_autoload\_register(function ($classname) {  
require ("…/classes/" . $classname . “.php”);  
});

require **DIR**. ‘/…/vendor/autoload.php’;

session\_start();

// Instantiate the app  
$settings = require **DIR**. ‘/…/src/settings.php’;  
$app = new \Slim\App($settings);

// Set up dependencies  
require **DIR**. ‘/…/src/dependencies.php’;

// Register middleware  
require **DIR**. ‘/…/src/middleware.php’;

// Register routes  
require **DIR**. ‘/…/src/routes.php’;

use \Psr\Http\Message\ServerRequestInterface as Request;  
use \Psr\Http\Message\ResponseInterface as Response;

$app-\>get(’/hello/{name}’, function (Request $request, Response $response) {  
$name = $request-\>getAttribute(‘name’);  
$response-\>getBody()-\>write(“Hello, $name”);

```
return $response;

```

});

$app-\>get(’/Beer’, function (Request $request, Response $response) {  
// $beer = new Beer(“Bells Two Hearted”, “Good IPA”);  
// var\_dump($beer);  
echo “HELLO BEER”;  
});

// Run app  
$app-\>run();

Are there any routes defined in `src/routes.php`?
