Implement Web Push Notification in PHP using W3C provided Notification API

Hi Guys,
I am sharing you the simple steps by which you can broadcast the web push notifications to your subscriber. In this tutorial we are making a subscriber form and saving information using Ajax and PHP and then through a server side code returning response to current logged in user and showing notification to that user.
Following are the steps to build this system


1. Create a database, I am creating db with name 'web_notifications'


Creating subscribers and notifications tables using following sql statements


CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <code>subscribers</code> (
<code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL,
<code>name</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>email</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>createdAt</code> timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

ALTER TABLE <code>subscribers</code> ADD PRIMARY KEY (<code>id</code>);

ALTER TABLE <code>subscribers</code> MODIFY <code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;



CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <code>notifications</code> (
<code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL,
<code>to_user</code> int(11) NOT NULL,
<code>title</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>body</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>url</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>is_sent</code> int(11) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',
<code>createdAt</code> timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

ALTER TABLE <code>notifications</code> ADD PRIMARY KEY (<code>id</code>);

ALTER TABLE <code>notifications</code> MODIFY <code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;





2. Now create a db_connect.php file with following code


<?php 
session_start();
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "root";
$password = "";
$dbname = "web_notifications";

$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);
if ($conn->connect_error) {
die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}
?>



3. Create a cookies.js file to read and write browser cookies


function WriteCookie(key,content) {
var now = new Date();
now.setMonth( now.getMonth() + 1 );
document.cookie = key+"=" + escape(content) + ";";
document.cookie = "expires=" + now.toUTCString() + ";"
}

function ReadCookie(key) {
var allcookies = document.cookie;
cookiearray = allcookies.split(';');
var CookieData=Array();
for(var i=0; i<cookiearray.length; i++) {
k = cookiearray[i].split('=')[0];
v = cookiearray[i].split('=')[1];
CookieData[k]=v;
}
return CookieData[key];
}



4. Create a ajax file to read and mark is_sent if any notification foun to be sent in database for that user. create file with name 'fetch_notifications.php' with following content


<?php require 'db_connect.php';

$sql = "SELECT id,title,body,url FROM notifications where to_user='".@$_GET['user_id']."' and is_sent='0' ";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

$data=array();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
$data[]=$row;

$upd = "update notifications set is_sent='1' where id='".$row['id']."' ";
$conn->query($upd);

}
}

if(count($data)>0)
{
$response=array("status"=>1,"notification"=>$data);
}
else
{
$response=array("status"=>0,"error"=>"No new notification!");
}

echo json_encode($response);

$conn->close();
?>



5. Now code index.php to show subscriber form and on submit insert record into the subscriber table



<?php require 'db_connect.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Web Push Notification Demo</title>
<script src="./cookies.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<link href=" <script src=" <script src=" <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.1.0/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-lKuwvrZot6UHsBSfcMvOkWwlCMgc0TaWr+30HWe3a4ltaBwTZhyTEggF5tJv8tbt" crossorigin="anonymous">
<?php
if(isset($_POST['subscribe_form']))
{
$_SESSION['is_login']=0;
$username=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$useremail=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['useremail']);


$sql = "INSERT INTO subscribers set name='".$username."',email='".$useremail."' ";
if ($conn->query($sql) === TRUE) {
$_SESSION['is_login']=1;
$_SESSION['Uid']= $conn->insert_id;
$_SESSION['Uname']= $username;
?>
<script type="text/javascript">
WriteCookie("Uid","<?php echo $_SESSION['Uid']; ?>");
</script>
<?php
$msg="<p style='color:green'>You have subscribe for push notification succesfully :)</p>";
} else {
$msg="<p style='color:red'>Error in subscribing for notifications</p>";
}


}

?>
<div class="container">
<?php
if(isset($msg) && $msg!='')
{
?>
<br>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<?php echo $msg; ?>
</div>
<?php
}

if(isset($_SESSION['is_login']) && $_SESSION['is_login']==1)
{
?>
<h2>Welcome <?php echo $_SESSION['Uname']; ?></h2>
<script type="text/javascript">

setInterval(function(){
check_notification();
}, 10000);

function check_notification()
{
var Uid=ReadCookie("Uid");
if(Uid!==undefined)
{
$.ajax({url: "fetch_notifications.php?user_id="+Uid, success: function(result){
var response=JSON.parse(result);
if(response.status==1)
{

response=response.notifications;
for (var i = response.length - 1; i >= 0; i--) {
var url = response[i]['url'];
var noti = new Notification(response[i]['title'], {
icon: 'logo.png', body: response[i]['body'],
});
noti.onclick = function () {
window.open(url);
noti.close();
};

};

}
else{
console.log(response.error);

}

}

});
}
}


</script>
<?php
}
else
{
?>
<h2 class="text-center">Subscribe for Notifications</h2>
<div class="row justify-content-center">
<div class="col-12 col-md-8 col-lg-6 pb-5">

<div class="card border-primary rounded-0">
<div class="card-header p-0">
<div class="bg-info text-white text-center py-2">
<h3><i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> Information</h3>
<p class="m-0">provide your information</p>
</div>
</div>
<div class="card-body p-3">
<form method="post">
<!--Body-->
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group mb-2">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-user text-info"></i></div>
</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="username" name="username" placeholder="Input Your Name Here" required>
</div>
</div>
<div class="form-group">
<div class="input-group mb-2">
<div class="input-group-prepend">
<div class="input-group-text"><i class="fa fa-envelope text-info"></i></div>
</div>
<input type="text" class="form-control" id="useremail" name="useremail" pattern="[^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+" title="Invalid email address" placeholder="[email protected]" required>
</div>
</div>

<div class="text-center">
<input type="submit" value="Subscribe" name="subscribe_form" class="btn btn-info btn-block rounded-0 py-2">
</div>
</form>
</div>

</div>



</div>
</div>
<?php }?>
</div>



</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
<?php
$conn->close();
?>


The frontend of your subscription page (index.php) should look like this:


Subscribing Form to User

Now we are ready to receive notification in frontend, but we still need to create an admin page from where we can send notification to subscriber(s).


6. Create a table for admin user





CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS <code>admin</code> (
<code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL,
<code>username</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>password</code> varchar(255) NOT NULL,
<code>createdAt</code> timestamp NOT NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;

ALTER TABLE <code>admin</code> ADD PRIMARY KEY (<code>id</code>);

ALTER TABLE <code>admin</code> MODIFY <code>id</code> int(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT;

INSERT INTO <code>web_notifications</code>.<code>admin</code> (<code>id</code>, <code>username</code>, <code>password</code>, <code>createdAt</code>) VALUES (NULL, 'admin', MD5('123456'), CURRENT_TIMESTAMP);




Following is the code for admin.php to add the notifications to subscriber(s) account also i have inserted following login credentials for admin in admin table:
username:admin
password:123456


7. Now put following code in admin.php


<?php require 'db_connect.php'; ?>
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>ADMIN PAGE</title>
<link href=" <script src=" <script src="
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://use.fontawesome.com/releases/v5.1.0/css/all.css" integrity="sha384-lKuwvrZot6UHsBSfcMvOkWwlCMgc0TaWr+30HWe3a4ltaBwTZhyTEggF5tJv8tbt" crossorigin="anonymous">
<?php
if(isset($_POST['login']))
{
$_SESSION['admin_login']=0;
$username=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['username']);
$password=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['password']);
$sql = "SELECT * FROM admin where username='".$username."' and password='".md5($password)."' ";
$result = $conn->query($sql);
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
$_SESSION['admin_login']=1;
$msg="<p style='color:green'>Admin Logged-in Successfully :)</p>";
}
else {
$msg="<p style='color:red'>INVALID CREDENTIALS FOR ADMIN</p>";
}


}
if(isset($_POST['add_notification']))
{
$title=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['title']);
$body=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['body']);
$url=$conn->real_escape_string($_POST['url']);
$users=$_POST['users'];

foreach ($users as $user_id) {
$ins = "insert into notifications set to_user='".$user_id."' , title='".$title."', url='".$url."', body='".$body."' ";
$conn->query($ins);
}
$msg="<p style='color:green'>Notification(s) added to subscribers account.</p>";

}

?>
<div class="container">
<?php
if(isset($msg) && $msg!='')
{
?>
<br>
<div class="alert alert-info">
<?php echo $msg; ?>
</div>
<?php
}

if(isset($_SESSION['admin_login']) && $_SESSION['admin_login']==1)
{
?>
<h2>Welcome Admin, Send notification to Subscriber(s)</h2>

<form method="post">



<div class="form-group">
<label for="sel1">Select Subscriber(s):</label>
<select multiple="multiple" required="required" class="form-control" id="users" name="users[]">
<?php
$sql = "SELECT id,name FROM subscribers";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

$data=array();
if ($result->num_rows > 0) {

</form>


<?php
}
else
{
?>
<h2 class="text-center">ADMINISTRATOR</h2>
<div class="row justify-content-center">

</div>
</form>
</div>

</div>



</div>
</div>
<?php }?>
</div>



</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>
<?php
$conn->close();
?>


The admin page will ask login credentials first then it will look like following screenshot:

Admin Send Notifiv=cation to subscribers

Now in your project if you open index.php you have a frontend where user will register themselves to receive notifications, and admin.php is your backend where you can send notifications to users or subscribers


If you face any problem in setup this small project please just let me know in the comments below, or by messaging me.

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.

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 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.
