Custom extension to Laravel Application class

Hello folks! This post is for those of you using Laravel. This beautiful framework makes web development super-easy compared to most of competitors. In the heart of Laravel is the Application class, which is responsible for bootstrapping, registering services and also serves as a dependency injection container. What I do with my Laravel apps, is that I take a slight detour from the common path by adding a custom Application class. While this is not really necessary, I find this approach nice, and will try to share my thought below.

It's normal practice in Laravel world to build all kinds of objects like this:

$cache = app("cache");


I find it a bit confusing to call app("cache"") and expect a Cache\Repository instance as result. If I pass the result of this call to a function that requires a Cache\Repository as parameter, I will probably have a code inspection warning from IDE. Moreover, if I want proper autocompletion, I will have to add additional comment:


$cache = app("cache");


This is where a custom application class might be handy:

namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public function cacheRepository(): Repository
{
return $this->make(Repository::class);
}
}


This way I get a TypeError in case of a misconfiguration, and I have a type-hint which allows the IDE to recognize the return value. Bye-bye nasty comment lines and IDE warnings! I make a method per service, with type-hints, like dbConnection() or viewFactory() - works really well for me!

I also thought that, if I have a custom class, then all the custom setup that normally you have in bootstrap/app.php, should reside in that custom class:

namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public function __construct()
{
define('LARAVEL_START', microtime(true));
define("APP_ROOT", realpath(__DIR__ . "/../"));
parent::__construct(APP_ROOT);
$this->setUp();
}
private function setUp()
{
$this->singleton(
Contracts\Http\Kernel::class,
\App\Http\Kernel::class
);
}
}


Then your bootstrap/app.php becomes just this:

return new \App\MyApp;


The Laravel app() function will also return an instance of MyApp from now on. However, it's @phpdoc says it returns \Illuminate\Foundation\Application, so for better clarity, I also added my own accessor method:

namespace App;
class MyApp extends Application
{
public static function app(): self
{

$ret = parent::getInstance();
return $ret;
}
}


I tend to limit the use of global/static functions and methods, but sometimes it can be handy, and whenever I need an instance of MyApp, I just call MyApp::app(). The IDE wil be aware of the return type due to the type-hint, so I get everything I want for clean and clear development.

With your projects in Laravel, you may or may not want to follow this particular advice, but just be aware that extending a framework built-in classes for your team's comfort, is definitely something that can make your life easier. See you around, don't forget to leave comments!

Standalone PHP Class for Managing Session Based Multiple Cart

Hi Guys,

I am sharing you a standalone class for managing a session based cart system. In this class I have provided multiple methods for adding, updating and deleting the products. and By using this class you may manage multiple cart objects with different data only you need to pass a different key in constructor of that class.

Let me share you the How can we use that Class:


Include The cart class


require 'PhpKart.class.php';



Create a Cart Object initializing the Cart base key name, by using different keys we can manage multiple cart data in a same project , like main cart or wishlist


$obj1 = new PhpKart("MainCart");


Here Maincart is the keyname in which $obj1 insert/modify/delete the data


Adding any product inside cart


$obj1->add_to_cart($product_id=123,$quantity=2,$product_information=array("product_name"=>"Tomato","Price"=>20));


Where parameter1 is product, id,parameter 2 is quantity, and Parameter 3 is product information Array


Now If we want to update the quantity in product_id=123 with quantity 5 then use following:


$obj1->add_to_cart($product_id=123,$quantity=5);


Here we did not pass the information array again because no matter you pass or not if the product information is already added in the cart then if won't be affected So no ned to pass this, only pass product id and its Quantity


If we want to add another product:


$obj1->add_to_cart($product_id=145,$quantity=3,$product_information=array("product_name"=>"Potato","Price"=>30));



Now we have a case what if our product is already having some quantity and we want to increase into it or decrease into it, Then to retrieve the already added product information, using AlreadyExists method by passing product id,it will return array if it exists and it will return boolean false if not exists:


$already_exists=$obj1->AlreadyExists($product_id=145); 
if($already_exists !== false )
{
print_r($already_exists);
}



If we want to remove any product from cart:


$obj1->remove_from_cart($product_id=145);



If we want to get all products from the current cart


print_r( $obj1->getAllItems() );


It will return you an array with all the items exist in the current cart



Getting all item's count inside the current cart


echo $obj1->getTotalItems(); 



If we want to get calculate total amount in the current cart


echo $obj1->getCartTotalAmount($priceKeyName='Price')


Note: In the above snippet we need to provide teh same key name which we have used for product price in project information array at the time of adding items in cart array, and need to take the same key name in all the products inserting in Same Cart



If we want to clear/reset the current cart then use following:


$obj1->clear_cart(); 


Now if we want to save some other user interested items separately which use likes but don't want to buy now so that items can be Add into wishlist So we need to create new object with different cart ket name and that list will be manage separately using it's object. Like Following:



Create new Object by passing different Key

$obj2=new PhpKart("MyWishlist"); 



Add a new item to $obj2 object containing the items user want to add in his/her wishlist


$obj2->add_to_cart($product_id=159,$quantity=8,$product_information=array("product_name"=>"Baby Toy","Price"=>100));



Show the total cart Amount


echo $obj2->getCartTotalAmount("Price"); 



Full Source Code


Following is the full code for that cart managing Class . Just create a file named PhpKart.class.php and add following code in it:

<?php 
if(!session_id()){
@session_start();
}


class PhpKart{

private $cart_key;

public function __construct($CartkeyName)
{
$this->cart_key=$CartkeyName;
}
public function add_to_cart($product_id,$quantity='1',$product_information=array())
{
$_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]['product_id']=$product_id;
$_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]['quantity']=$quantity;
if(!isset($_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]['product_information']) && !empty($product_information)){
$_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]['product_information']=$product_information;
}
}
public function remove_from_cart($product_id)
{
unset($_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]);
}
public function clear_cart()
{
unset($_SESSION[$this->cart_key]);
}
public function getTotalItems()
{
return count($_SESSION[$this->cart_key]);
}
public function getCartTotalAmount($price_key_name)
{
$total=0;
foreach($_SESSION[$this->cart_key] as $row)
{
$total += ($row['product_information'][$price_key_name]*$row['quantity']);
}

return $total;
}
public function AlreadyExists($product_id)
{
if (isset($_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id]))
{
return $_SESSION[$this->cart_key][$product_id];
}
else
{
return false;
}
}
public function getAllItems()
{
return $_SESSION[$this->cart_key];
}


}

Create Alarm and Monitoring on Custom Memory and Disk Metrics for Amazon EC2

Today I am going write a blog on how to Monitor Memory and Disk custom metrics and creating alarm in Ubuntu.

To do this, we can use Amazon CloudWatch, which provides a flexible, scalable and reliable solution for monitoring our server.

Amazon Cloud Watch will allow us to collect the custom metrics from our applications that we will monitor to troubleshoot any issues, spot trends, and configure operational performance. CloudWatch functions display alarms, graphs, custom metrics data and including statistics.

Installing the Scripts


Before we start installing the scripts for monitoring, we should install all the dependent packages need to perform on Ubuntu.

First login to your AWS server, and from our terminal, install below packages

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install unzip
sudo apt-get install libwww-perl libdatetime-perl


Now Install the Monitoring Scripts


Following are the steps to download and then unzip we need to configure the Cloud Watch Monitoring scripts on our server:
1. In the terminal, we need to change our directory and where we want to add our monitoring scripts.
2. Now run the below command and download the source:

curl https://aws-cloudwatch.s3.amazonaws.com/downloads/CloudWatchMonitoringScripts-1.2.2.zip -O

3. Now uncompress the currently downloaded sources using the following commands

unzip CloudWatchMonitoringScripts-1.2.2.zip && \

rm CloudWatchMonitoringScripts-1.2.2.zip && \

cd aws-scripts-mon


The directory will contain Perl scripts, because of the execution of these scripts only report memory run and disk space utilization metrics will run in our Ubuntu server.
Currently, our folder will contain the following files:
mon-get-instance-stats.pl - This Perl file is used to displaying the current utilization statistics reports for our AWS instance on which these file scripts will be executed.
mon-put-instance-data.pl - This Perl script file will be used for collecting the system metrics on our ubuntu server and which will send them to the Amazon Cloud Watch.
awscreds.template - This Perl script file will contain an example for AWS credentials keys and secret access key named with access key ID.
CloudWatchClient.pm - This Perl script file module will be used to simplify by calling Amazon Cloud Watch from using other scripts.
LICENSE.txt – This file contains the license details for Apache 2.0.
NOTICE.txt – This file contains will gives us information about Copyright notice.
4. For performing the Cloud Watch operations, we need to confirm that whether our scripts have corresponding permissions for the actions:

If we are associated with an IAM role with our EC2 Ubuntu instance, we need to verify that which will grant the permissions to perform the below-listed operations:

cloudwatch:GetMetricStatistics

cloudwatch:PutMetricData

ec2:DescribeTags

cloudwatch:ListMetrics


Now we need to copy the ‘awscreds.template’ file into ‘awscreds.conf’ by using the command below and which will update the file with details of the AWS credentials.

cp awscreds.template awscreds.conf

AWSAccessKeyId = my_access_key_id

AWSSecretKey = my_secret_access_key


Now we completed the configuration.

mon-put-instance-data.pl


This Perl script file will collect memory, disk space utilization data and swap the current system details and then it makes handling a remote call to Amazon Cloud Watch to reports details to the collected cloud watch data as a custom metrics.

We can perform a simple test run, by running the below without sending data to Amazon CloudWatch

./mon-put-instance-data.pl --mem-util --verify --verbose


Now we are going to set a cron for scheduling our metrics and we will send them to Amazon CloudWatch
1. Now we need to edit the crontab by using below command:

 crontab -e

2. Now we will update the file using the following query which will disk space utilization and report memory for particular paths to Amazon CloudWatch in every five minutes:

*/5 * * * * ~/STORAGE/cloudwatch/aws-scripts-mon/mon-put-instance-data.pl --mem-util --mem-avail --mem-used --disk-space-util --disk-space-avail --disk-space-used --disk-path=/ --disk-path=/STORAGE --from-cron


If there is an error, the scripts will write an error message in our system log.

Use of Options

--mem-used
The above command will collect the information about used memory and which will send the details of the reports in MBs into the MemoryUsed metrics. This will give us information about the metric counts memory allocated by applications and the OS as used.
--mem-util
The above command will collect the information about memory utilization in percentages and which will send the details of the Memory Utilization metrics and it will count the usage of the memory applications and the OS.
--disk-space-util
The above command will collect the information to collect the current utilized disk space and which will send the reports in percentages to the DiskSpaceUtilization for the metric and for the selected disks.
--mem-avail
The above command will collect the information about the available memory and which will send the reports in MBs to the MemoryAvailable metrics details. This is the metric counts memory allocated by the applications and the OS as used.
--disk-path=PATH
The above command will collect the information and will point out the which disk path to report disk space.
--disk-space-avail
The above command will collect the information about the available disk space and which will send the reports in GBs to the DiskSpaceAvailable metric for the selected disks.
--disk-space-used
The above command will collect the information about the disk space used and which will send the reports in GBs to the DiskSpaceUsed metric for the selected disks.

The PATH can specify to point or any of the files can be located on which are mounted point for the filesystem which needs to be reported.

If we want to points to the multiple disks, then specify both of the disks like below:

--disk-path=/ --disk-path=/home


Setting an Alarm for Custom Metrics


Before we are going to running our Perl Scripts, then we need to create an alarm that will be listed in our default metrics except for the custom metrics. You can see some default metrics are listed in below image:



Once we completed setting the cron, then the custom metrics will be located in Linux System Metrics.

Now we are going to creating the alarm for our custom metrics
1. We need to open the cloudwatch console panel at https://console.aws.amazon.com/cloudwatch/home
2. Now navigate to the navigation panel, we need to click on Alarm and we can Create Alarm.
3. This will open a popup which with the list of the CloudWatch metrics by category.
4. Now click on the Linux System Metrics . This will be listed out with custom metrics you can see in the below pictures






5. Now we need to select metric details and we need to click on the NEXT button. Now we need to navigate to Define Alarm step.



6. Now we need to define an Alarm with required fields

Now we need to enter the Alarm name for identifying them. Then we need to give a description of our alarm.

Next, we need to give the condition with the maximum limit of bytes count or percentage when it notifies the alarm. If the condition satisfies, then the alarm will start trigger.

We need to provide a piece of additional information about for our alarm.

We need to define what are the actions to be taken when our alarm changes it state.

We need to select or create a new topic with emails needed for sending notification about alarm state.
7. Finally, we need to choose the Create Alarm.

So its completed. Now the alarm is created for our selected custom metrics.

Finished!

Now the alarm will be listed out under the selected state in our AWS panel. Now we need to select an alarm from the list seen and we can see the details and history of our alarm.

Laravel Eloquent Relationship Part 1

Laravel introduces eloquent relationships from laravel 5.0 onwards. We all know, while we creating an application we all have foreign keys. Each table will be connected to some other. Eloquent make easy to connect each tables easily. Here we will One to one, one to many and many to many relationships. Here we will see three types of relationships,
   
. One to one relationships
    . One to many relationships
    . Many to many relationships

Why Eloquent Relationships

Here we have 2 tables, students and marks, so for join each table,

$student = student::join(‘marks’,’marks.student_id,’=’,students.id’)->where(‘students.id’,’1’)->get();

dd($student);



the above query is to long, so when we connect more tables its too tough we will be having a big query and complicated.



Model Query using Relationships


$student_marks = student::find(1);

dd($student_marks->mark1);



The above example is a simple example of eloquent relationships. We can reduce the first query into a simple one.





ONE TO ONE RELATIOSHIPS

Here we are creating 2 tables:
* Users
* Phones

Now we can see one to one relationships using hasone() and belongsto().

We need to create table using migrations



Create migrations


users table will be created by using


Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('name');

$table->string('email')->unique();

$table->string('password');

$table->rememberToken();

$table->timestamps();

});


Phones table will be created by


Schema::create('phones', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();

$table->string('phone');

$table->timestamps();

$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')

->onDelete('cascade');

});



After that we need to create model for each tables, as we all know if the table name is laravel table name will be ending with ‘s’ and model name will be without ‘s’ of the same table name.



User model



<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;



class User extends Authenticatable

{

use Notifiable;





protected $fillable = [

'name', 'email', 'password',

];





protected $hidden = [

'password', 'remember_token',

];





public function phone()

{

return $this->hasOne('App\Phone');

}

}



Phone Model



<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class Phone extends Model

{



public function user()

{

return $this->belongsTo('App\User');

}

}



For Creating records



$user = User::find(1);

$phone = new Phone;

$phone->phone = '9080054945';

$user->phone()->save($phone);



$phone = Phone::find(1);

$user = User::find(10);

$phone->user()->associate($user)->save();



Now we can get our records by


$phone = User::find(1)->phone;

dd($phone);



$user = Phone::find(1)->user;

dd($user);





ONE TO MANY RELATIONSHIPS

Here we will use hasMany() and belongsTo() for relationships

Now we are creating two tables, posts and comments, we will be having a foreign key towards posts table.


Migrations for posts and comments table


Schema::create('posts', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string("name");

$table->timestamps();

});



Schema::create('comments', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->integer('post_id')->unsigned();

$table->string("comment");

$table->timestamps();

$table->foreign('post_id')->references('id')->on('posts')

->onDelete('cascade');

});



Now we will create Post Model and Comment Model



Post Model



<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class Post extends Model

{



public function comments()

{

return $this->hasMany(Comment::class);

}

}



Comment Model



<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class Comment extends Model

{



public function post()

{

return $this->belongsTo(Post::class);

}

}



Now we can create records


$post = Post::find(1);

$comment = new Comment;

$comment->comment = "Hi Harikrishnan";

$post = $post->comments()->save($comment);

$post = Post::find(1);



$comment1 = new Comment;

$comment1->comment = "How are You?";

$comment2 = new Comment;

$comment2->comment = "Where are you?";

$post = $post->comments()->saveMany([$comment1, $comment2]);



$comment = Comment::find(1);

$post = Post::find(2);

$comment->post()->associate($post)->save();



Now we can get records


$post = Post::find(1);

$comments = $post->comments;

dd($comments);



$comment = Comment::find(1);

$post = $comment->post;

dd($post);



MANY TO MANY RELATIONSHIPS

Many to many is little bit different and complicated than the above two.



In this example, I will create users, roles, and role, users_tables, here each table will be connected each other using the foreign keys.



Using belongsToMany() we will use see a demo of Many to many relationship



Create Migrations



Schema::create('users', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('name');

$table->string('email')->unique();

$table->string('password');

$table->rememberToken();

$table->timestamps();

});



Schema::create('roles', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->increments('id');

$table->string('name');

$table->timestamps();

});



Schema::create('role_user', function (Blueprint $table) {

$table->integer('user_id')->unsigned();

$table->integer('role_id')->unsigned();

$table->foreign('user_id')->references('id')->on('users')

->onDelete('cascade');

$table->foreign('role_id')->references('id')->on('roles')

->onDelete('cascade');

});



Create Models



User Model


<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Notifications\Notifiable;

use Illuminate\Foundation\Auth\User as Authenticatable;



class User extends Authenticatable

{

use Notifiable;





protected $fillable = [

'name', 'email', 'password',

];





protected $hidden = [

'password', 'remember_token',

];





public function roles()

{

return $this->belongsToMany(Role::class, 'role_user');

}

}


Role Model


<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class Role extends Model

{



public function users()

{

return $this->belongsToMany(User::class, 'role_user');

}

}


UserRole Model


<?php

namespace App;

use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;



class UserRole extends Model

{

}



Now we can create records


$user = User::find(2); 

$roleIds = [1, 2];

$user->roles()->attach($roleIds);



$user = User::find(3);

$roleIds = [1, 2];

$user->roles()->sync($roleIds);



$role = Role::find(1);

$userIds = [10, 11];

$role->users()->attach($userIds);



$role = Role::find(2);

$userIds = [10, 11];

$role->users()->sync($userIds);



Now we can retrieve records


$user = User::find(1); 

dd($user->roles);



$role = Role::find(1);

dd($role->users);




Hence laravel Eloquent is more powerful and we do relationships easily compared to native query. We will be having three more relationships in laravel. Ie.., has many, one to many polymorphic and many to many polymorphic. With eloquent relationship we can easily connect the tables each other. One to one relationships we can connect two tables with their basic functionalities. In one to many we will connect with single table with multiple options. In Many to many we will be having more tables.

Create Simple RESTful APIs using PHP & MySQL

Hi Guys,
I am sharing you the way to create simple resful apis using php and mysql. We are creating 2 apis here
First is to Loggin a existing user and second is to get list of written blogs by logged in user.


Create any database, i am taking
news
as the database name here, After it create following 2 tables inside it.


CREATE TABLE <code>users</code> (
<code>id</code> int(11) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
<code>name</code> varchar(100),
<code>email</code> varchar(100),
<code>password</code> varchar(100),
<code>createdAt</code> datetime NOT NULL,
<code>updatedAt</code> timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);

CREATE TABLE <code>blogs</code> (
<code>id</code> int(11) UNSIGNED AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY,
<code>user_id</code> int(11),
<code>title</code> varchar(255),
<code>summary</code> Tinytext,
<code>body</code> Text,
<code>createdAt</code> datetime NOT NULL,
<code>updatedAt</code> timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
);


Now putting some dummy data to read via the api



--create 2 entries in users table--
INSERT INTO <code>news</code>.<code>users</code> (<code>id</code>, <code>name</code>, <code>email</code>, <code>password</code>, <code>createdAt</code>, <code>updatedAt</code>) VALUES (1, 'jeetendra singh', '[email protected]', MD5('123456'), '2018-12-28 02:05:12', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), (2, 'Manvik Singh chaudhary', '[email protected]', MD5('654321'), '2018-12-28 03:08:11', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);


-- create 2 blogs by userid 1--

INSERT INTO <code>news</code>.<code>blogs</code> (<code>id</code>, <code>user_id</code>, <code>title</code>, <code>summary</code>, <code>body</code>, <code>createdAt</code>, <code>updatedAt</code>) VALUES (1, '1', 'Blog title 1 by jeetendra', 'Blog summary 1 by jeetendra', 'Blog body 1 by jeetendra', '2018-12-28 02:00:00', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), (2, '1', 'Blog Title 2 by jeetendra ', 'Blog summary 2 by jeetendra ', 'Blog body 2 by jeetendra ', '2018-12-28 05:10:21', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);

-- create 2 blogs by userid 2
INSERT INTO <code>news</code>.<code>blogs</code> (<code>id</code>, <code>user_id</code>, <code>title</code>, <code>summary</code>, <code>body</code>, <code>createdAt</code>, <code>updatedAt</code>) VALUES (3, '2', 'Blog title 1 by manvik', 'Blog summary 1 by manvik', 'Blog body 1 by manvik', '2018-12-28 02:00:00', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP), (4, '2', 'Blog Title 2 by manvik ', 'Blog summary 2 by manvik ', 'Blog body 2 by manvik ', '2018-12-28 05:10:21', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);







After creating this create a index.php and put this code for Db connection, login and get all blog method



<?php
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8");

class DBClass {

private $host = "localhost";
private $username = "root";
private $password = ""; private $database = "news";

public $connection;

public function connect(){

$this->connection = null;

try{
$this->connection = new PDO("mysql:host=" . $this->host . ";dbname=" . $this->database, $this->username, $this->password);
$this->connection->exec("set names utf8");
}catch(PDOException $exception){
echo "Error: " . $exception->getMessage();
}

return $this->connection;
}

public function login($email,$password){

if($this->connection==null)
{
$this->connect();
}

$query = "SELECT id,name,email,createdAt,updatedAt from users where email= ? and password= ?";
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute(array($email,md5($password)));
$ret= $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $ret;
}

public function get_all_blogs($Uid){

if($this->connection==null)
{
$this->connect();
}

$query = "SELECT b.*,u.id as Uid,u.email as Uemail,u.name as Uname from blogs b join users u on u.id=b.user_id where b.user_id= ?";
$stmt = $this->connection->prepare($query);
$stmt->execute(array($Uid));
$ret= $stmt->fetchAll(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
return $ret;
}

public function response($array)
{
echo json_encode($array);
exit;
}
}

$return=array();
$obj = new DBClass();
if(isset($_GET['action']) && $_GET['action']!='')
{
if($_GET['action']=="login")
{
if(isset($_POST['email']) && isset($_POST['password']))
{
$UserData=$obj->login($_POST['email'],$_POST['password']);
if(count($UserData)>0)
{
$return['status']=1;
$return['_data_']=$UserData[0];
$return['message']='User Logged in Successfully.';
}
else
{
$return['status']=0;
$return['message']='Error:Invalid Email or Password!';
}
}
else
{
$return['status']=0;
$return['message']='Error:Email or Password not provided!';
}
}
elseif($_GET['action']=="UserBlogs")
{
if(isset($_POST['Uid']))
{
$blogs=$obj->get_all_blogs($_POST['Uid']);
if(count($blogs)>0)
{
$return['status']=1;
$return['_data_']=$blogs;
$return['message']='Success.';
}
else
{
$return['status']=0;
$return['message']='Error:Invalid UserId!';
}
}
else
{
$return['status']=0;
$return['message']='Error:User Id not provided!';
}
}
}
else
{
$return['status']=0;
$return['message']='Error:Action not provided!';
}
$obj->response($return);
$obj->connection=null;
?>



Now api file is set, just make the urls pretty(readable form) using .htaccess file, put following code in it



RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^api/(.*) index.php?action=


Now your Simple Restful Apis are ready to use, Now Let me show you the postman screenshot where i have used these apis.
