Installation
You have multiple ways to install Twig.
Installing the Twig PHP package
Install Composer and run the following command:
1
composer require "twig/twig:^1.0"Installing the C extension
1.4
The C extension was added in Twig 1.4.
Twig comes with an optional C extension that improves the performance of the Twig runtime engine.
Note that this extension does not replace the PHP code but only provides an
optimized version of the \Twig\Template::getAttribute() method; you must
still install the regular PHP code
The C extension is only compatible and useful for PHP5.
Install it like any other PHP extensions:
1 2 3 4 5
cd ext/twig
phpize
./configure
make
make installFor Windows:
- Setup the build environment following the PHP documentation
- Put Twig's C extension source code into
C:\php-sdk \phpdev \vcXX \x86 \php-source-directory \ext \twig - Use the
configure --disable-all --enable-cli --enable-twig=sharedcommand instead of step 14 nmake- Copy the
C:file to your PHP setup.\php-sdk \phpdev \vcXX \x86 \php-source-directory \Release_TS \php_twig.dll
Tip
For Windows ZendServer, ZTS is not enabled as mentioned in Zend Server FAQ.
You have to use configure --disable-all --disable-zts --enable-cli
--enable-twig=shared to be able to build the twig C extension for
ZendServer.
The built DLL will be available in
C:
Finally, enable the extension in your php.ini configuration file:
1 2
extension=twig.so # For Unix systems
extension=php_twig.dll # For Windows systemsAnd from now on, Twig will automatically compile your templates to take advantage of the C extension.
