index.php

<?php
require_once __DIR__.'/silex.phar';
require_once __DIR__.'/vendor/brtriver/PHPTALServiceProvider/PHPTALServiceProvider.php';

use Silex\Provider\PHPTALServiceProvider;

$app = new Silex\Application();
$app['phptal.class_path'] = __DIR__.'/vendor/pornel/PHPTAL';
$app->register(new PHPTALServiceProvider());

$app->get('/hello/{name}', function($name) use($app) {
    // set your view file. view file is set under /views directory
    $app['phptal.view'] = "test.html";
    $app['phptal']->title = "PHPTAL in Silex";
    $app['phptal']->name = $name;
    return $app['phptal']->execute();
});

$app->run();

test.html

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<html>
  <head>
    <title tal:content="title">
      Place for the page title
    </title>
  </head>  <body>
    <h1 tal:content="title">sample title</h1>
