REST API Development in PHP

 REST API Development in PHP

PHP can be used to create RESTful APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) that allow different systems to communicate with each other. REST APIs can be used to exchange data in a standardized and secure manner.

Example:

bash

// create a REST API endpoint

$app->get('/api/customers', function () use ($app) {

    $sql = "SELECT * FROM customers";

    $result = $app['db']->fetchAll($sql);

    return $app->json($result);

});
