PHP Slim Framework – Starter

Follow these steps to create APIs.

1. Clone the starter from GitHub repository using this command into your machine’s local server
   git clone https://github.com/vishalanandl177/php-slim-starter.git
2. Edit the file src/config/config.php, set the server to development by setting the PHP constant
   define(“SERVER”, “DEVELOPMENT”);
   comment the produnction server
   //define(“SERVER”, “PRODUCTION”);
   and set the timezone, default is UTC 
   define(“TIMEZONE”, “UTC”);
3. Configure the database connection. Edit the file src/config/connect.php

   if(SERVER ==’DEVELOPMENT’){
   define(“HOST”, “localhost”); // set the local host name for local machine
   define(“USER”, “”); // set the database username for local machine
   define(“PASSWORD”, “”); // set the database password for local machine
   define(“DATABASE”, “”); // set the database name for local machine
   define(“BASE_URL_STRING”, getBaseUrl());
   }

   if(SERVER ==’PRODUCTION’){
   define(“HOST”, “localhost”); // set the production host name
   define(“USER”, “”); // set the production side database username
   define(“PASSWORD”, “”); // set the production side database password
   define(“DATABASE”, “”); // set the production side database name
   define(“BASE_URL_STRING”, getBaseUrl());
   }

This starter has two APIs integrated. One for GET method and other is for POST method. In index.php file, in root directory, you can see the two APIs

$Rest->get(‘/get-call’, array($DeviceCtr, ‘getCall’));
$Rest->post(‘/post-call’, array($DeviceCtr, ‘postCall’));
