Simple PHP REST framework
No-frills REST api framework written in PHP. Consists of Model-Controller which can easily be extended for MVC if desired. Take a look at the sample todo list implemented as an in-memory API to help you implement your own REST API.
Basic Usage
Call REST via
http://localhost/phprest.api/index.php/foo/bar
or if you're using the provided .htaccess
http://localhost/phprest.api/foo/bar
where
foo = controller, bar = action
Create FooController class in controllers/foo.php with function barAction()
Optional parameters can be passed in the URL itself
http://localhost/phprest.api/foo/bar/param1/param2/param3
Where you can access [param1, param2, param3] as an incoming array in function barAction($uri_parts)
REST like Usage
In this usage we can omit action and instead rely in REST verbs GET, POST, PUT and DELETE for CRUD like actions.
$ curl -X bar http://localhost/phprest.api/foo
where
foo = controller, bar = GET, POST, PUT or DELETE
Create FooController class in controllers/foo.php with function barAction(), where bar is in lowercase (e.g: get not GET)
