We provide sufficient conditions for solvability of a singular Dirichlet boundary value problem with φ-Laplacian (φ(u ' ))' = f(t, u, u ' ), u(0) = A, u(T) = B, where φ is an increasing homeomorphism, φ(R) = R, φ(0) = 0, f satisfies the Carathéodory conditions on each set [a, b] × R 2 with [a, b] ⊂ (0, T) and f is not integrable on [0, T] for some fixed values of its phase variables. We prove the existence of a solution which has continuous first derivative on [0, T].
