How to create a REST service with PHP and MySQL and .htaccess

A simplified way to do this, I recommend, is through Slim Framework , developed in PHP, with a focus on REST distribution APIs.

Getting Started ( Font ):

1) curl -s link | php

2) Create a composer.json file in the project root with the following code:

{
    "require": {
        "slim/slim": "2.*"
    }
}

3) Run the command php composer.phar install

4) Include in your file index.php o autoloader of the framework

<?php
require 'vendor/autoload.php';

Creating "Hello World"

1) Instantiate the application of the framework through the code:

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

2) Create the route:

$app->get('/hello/:name', function ($name) {
    echo "Hello, $name";
});

3) Run the application:

$app->run();

Access your project with paths specified in $app->get . This is a very basic example of how Slim works, to get a better idea, I recommend reading documentation .

Zend, the company responsible for PHP and the famous Zend Framework, has developed a webservice 'generator' called ApiGility . I think it's the easiest way and on Youtube there are several videos on the subject.

I particularly like Yii2. In this guide they show how easy it is to create a Restful webservice
