Lightweight PHP/MySQL/JSON/REST framework to get something up and running quickly.

PRESTissimo

PRESTissimo is a minimal framework for building APIs utilizing PHP, MySQL and JSON in a RESTful manner.

Quick Start

PRESTissimo is made for getting up and started as quickly as possible. Because of this, there are very few configuration options. Here's how to get started:

1. Upload everything to your server that already has PHP and MySQL installed.
2. Open utils/db_utils.php and modify username, password, and database_name to match your MySQL username/password and database.
3. Open router.php and modify the base_url to the local URL where your API will reside (e.g., for http://example.com/api/, it would be "/api/").
4. Open controllers/example_controller.php to see an example controller.

Note that the name of the controller (both the file name and the class name inside the file) is what defines the URL of the resource. For example, the example controller is named example_controller.php, and has a matching class name of ExampleController, so the URL of the resource will be http://your_domain.com/example.

A get request will invoke the get($params, $data) method on the controller, a post request will invoke the post($params, $data) method, and so on for put and delete.

Take the following example request: GET http://your_domain.com/something/1/2/3?a=1&b=2

The framework will attempt to include controllers/something_controller.php and create an instance of SomethingController, invoking the get() method with the following arguments:

• $params: array(1, 2, 3)
• $data: array("a" => 1, "b" => 2)
