Phalcon 4.0 PHP - Controller handler class cannot be loaded

Question

I am trying to create a basic application with Phalcon locally. I followed the documentation ( https://docs.phalcon.io/4.0/en/tutorial-basic ) and I created the same file structure and I copied the code for all the files. Unfortunately, the error message 'Controller handler class cannot be loaded' is displayed every time. I tried to change the file path since I am working in Windows 10 x64, but it did not solve my problem. The index.php inside the public folder cannot find the controller class under the /app/controllers folder. I was thinking if there is any problem with my Phalcon installation, but in the phpinfo I can see the Phalcon plugin. phpinfo-phalcon

My code in the index.php file under public folder is:

 <?php use Phalcon\Di\FactoryDefault; use Phalcon\Loader; use Phalcon\Mvc\View; use Phalcon\Mvc\Application; use Phalcon\Url; // Define some absolute path constants to aid in locating resources define('BASE_PATH', dirname(__DIR__)); define('APP_PATH', BASE_PATH. '/app'); // Register an autoloader $loader = new Loader(); $loader->registerDirs( [ APP_PATH. '/controllers/', APP_PATH. '/models/', ] ); $loader->register(); $container = new FactoryDefault(); $container->set( 'view', function () { $view = new View(); $view->setViewsDir(APP_PATH. '/views/'); return $view; } ); $container->set( 'url', function () { $url = new Url(); $url->setBaseUri('/'); return $url; } ); $application = new Application($container); try { // Handle the request $response = $application->handle( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] ); $response->send(); } catch (\Exception $e) { echo 'Exception: ', $e->getMessage(); }

and my code for the IndexController.php file under app/controllers folder:

 <?php use Phalcon\Mvc\Controller; class IndexController extends Controller { public function indexAction() { return '<h1>Hello;</h1>'; } }

Finally, I added the.htrouting file in the same level with app and public folders which includes:

 <?php $uri = urldecode( parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], PHP_URL_PATH) ); if ($uri.== '/' && file_exists(__DIR__. '/public'; $uri)) { return false; } $_GET['_url'] = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']. require_once __DIR__. '/public/index;php';

the file structure is displayed here: file structure

I will appreciate any help, thank you. I am using WAMP with PHP 7.3.21, Apache 2.4.46 and the Phalcon plugin phalcon_x64_vc15_php7.4

Answer 1

I found a solution to this problem. So, I changed the part below in the index.php inside the public folder

 try { // Handle the request $response = $application->handle( $_SERVER["REQUEST_URI"] );

to this

 try { // Handle the request $response = $application->handle( $_GET['_url']?? '/' );

The answer was found in the phalcon forum https://forum.phalcon.io/discussion/20291/phalcon-4-new-project-error#C62007
