Simple Rest Server
==================

[](#simple-rest-server)

A simple rest server written in PHP. After frustrations with other php frameworks to do things that should be relatively simple I have created Simple Rest Server framework. It is not tied to any specific ORM. Forces very little upon the programmer. It provides methods of authentication via http\_basic and http\_digest authentication built in, and provides a way to extend security so a user could tie it into another authentication method.

The Core of the framework is stored in the src/ directory and consists of 5 files over 2 directories. The Kernel which manages everything. The ControllerBase which controllers extend to provide functionality.

Anatomy of a Request.
=====================

[](#anatomy-of-a-request)

Say your API service is located at  and someone wants to call the resource /user/profile/1. The request URL contains the information needed to route the request to the right controller and action.

- user = Controller = app/src/Bundle/Controler/UserController.php
- profile = action = profileGetAction
- 1 = parameter 1 of the action method
- additional segments will become additional parameters in the method.

The request URI is broken up like this. method, ction and them parameters therefore to use a GET method on /user/profile/1 the method name in UserController is profileGetAction()
