Browser access of new phalcon project with xampp giving error

Maybe show us code ? Im guessing you installed phalcon 2.0.x and trying to use $this in service closure ?

I didn't write a single piece of code there. It's just the part of initial phalcon generated code after I've executed

cd /opt/lampp/htdocs , phalcon create-project myapp

and after that I tried to access /localhost/myapp and was getting the above mentioned error message

Fatal error: Using $this when not in object context in /opt/lampp/htdocs/myapp/app/config/services.php on line 34

Anyway from my phpinfo , the below is phalcon description phalcon Phalcon Framework enabled Phalcon Version 1.3.4 and php version is 5.5.6 and phalcon generated myapp/app/config/services.php file is as follows <?php use Phalcon\Mvc\View; use Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Php as PhpEngine; use Phalcon\Mvc\Url as UrlResolver; use Phalcon\Mvc\View\Engine\Volt as VoltEngine; use Phalcon\Mvc\Model\Metadata\Memory as MetaDataAdapter; use Phalcon\Session\Adapter\Files as SessionAdapter; use Phalcon\Flash\Direct as Flash;

Phalcon 1.3.4 is not longer supported. You have generated code from phalcon devtools for phalcon 3.0.x. This is why it's not working.

Update your phalcon or change devtools to version which is working with phalcon 1.3.4. You should just update your phalcon because you have ancient version.
