Phalcon is an open source web framework delivered as a C extension for the PHP language providing high performance and lower resource consumption.
Bridge PSR-11 connects the Phalcon container (Phalcon\Container\Container) and the PSR-11 (Psr\Container\ContainerInterface) standard in both directions:
Container- a PSR-11 container backed by a Phalcon container. Use it wherever aPsr\Container\ContainerInterfaceis expected.Adapter- wraps any PSR-11 container so it can be consumed through the Phalcon container'sget()/has()surface.
You can install the package using composer
composer require phalcon/bridge-psr11Phalcon\Bridge\Psr11\Container is a Psr\Container\ContainerInterface, backed by a
Phalcon container. Hand it to any code that expects a PSR-11 container.
use Phalcon\Bridge\Psr11\Container;
use Phalcon\Container\Container as PhalconContainer;
// A configured Phalcon container
$phalcon = new PhalconContainer();
// ... register services on $phalcon ...
$container = new Container($phalcon);
// $container is a Psr\Container\ContainerInterface
if ($container->has('router')) {
$router = $container->get('router');
}A missing entry throws Phalcon\Bridge\Psr11\Exception\NotFound (a
Psr\Container\NotFoundExceptionInterface); has() never throws.
Phalcon\Bridge\Psr11\Adapter wraps a Psr\Container\ContainerInterface and exposes it
through the Phalcon container's get() / has() surface. Use it when a PSR-11 container
already exists, such as PHP-DI, and it needs to act as a Phalcon container.
use Phalcon\Bridge\Psr11\Adapter;
// Any Psr\Container\ContainerInterface, e.g. PHP-DI
$psr = new DI\Container(/* ... */);
$container = new Adapter($psr);
if ($container->has('service')) {
$service = $container->get('service');
}The repository ships a Docker setup for local development and testing. You only need Docker + Docker Compose; the PHP runtime and Phalcon are provided inside the container.
docker compose up -d --build
docker compose exec app composer install
docker compose exec app composer test
appis the Compose service name. The running container isbridge-psr11-app(override withPROJECT_PREFIX). It stays up via asleep infinitykeepalive, so you candocker compose exec app <cmd>freely (e.g.composer update).
The image is built for one PHP version at a time, selected with the PHP_VERSION build arg
(default 8.5; supported 8.1–8.5). Because it is a build arg, changing it requires a
rebuild (--build):
docker compose up -d --build # PHP 8.5 (default)
PHP_VERSION=8.1 docker compose up -d --build # PHP 8.1
PHP_VERSION=8.4 docker compose up -d --build # PHP 8.4The container keeps the same name, so each rebuild replaces the previous one. To run several versions side by side, give each its own Compose project and prefix:
PHP_VERSION=8.1 PROJECT_PREFIX=bridge-psr11-81 docker compose -p bridge-psr11-81 up -d --build
# then: docker exec -w /srv bridge-psr11-81-app composer testThe bridge works against either Phalcon runtime, selected with the PHALCON_VARIANT build arg:
docker compose up -d --build # package: phalcon/phalcon (v6, default)
PHALCON_VARIANT=ext docker compose up -d --build # ext: cphalcon C extension (v5)Tip: drop PHP_VERSION / PHALCON_VARIANT into a .env file in the repo root to avoid prefixing
every command — Compose reads it automatically.
Run them inside the container, e.g. docker compose exec app composer cs:
