This document summarizes how to build RESTful web services with PHP. It discusses REST principles like using HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to manipulate resources identified by URIs. It also discusses how PHP supports REST through variables like $_SERVER and $_POST/$_GET. The document then outlines the author's RESTful framework for PHP, which defines resources as classes that handle different HTTP methods, and uses URIs and MIME types to access various representations of resources.

1. Building RESTful Web Service With PHP Huy Nguyen - [email_address]

2. REST and RESTful web service Building a RESTful framework with PHP

3. RE presentational S tate T ransfer An architecture not a protocol or a standard Resource Oriented Approach World Wide Web is the key example

4. What is a RESTful web service? A web site for Machines!!!

5. It's all about HTTP, dude! GET POST PUT DELETE HEAD OPTIONS URIs MIME types supported Resources

6. REST vs RPC RESOURCES vs FUNCTIONS ROA vs SOA

7. Flickr has a RESTful web service But it's crap!!!!!!!

8. This is RESTful: http://feeds.feedburner.com/Geshansblog and this is not: http://api.flickr.com/services/rest/?method=flickr.test.echo&name=value

9. RESTful Web Protocols Syndication protocols (RSS, Atom Feed)‏ Atom Publishing Protocol RDF and OWL OpenID Single Sign-on Standard Google's OpenSocial Protocol Amazon's S3 Protocol ...

10. Now let's talk about PHP ... and how it supports REST

11. $_SERVER Accept => $_SERVER [ 'HTTP_ACCEPT' ] Request Method => $_SERVER [ 'REQUEST_METHOD' ]

12. $_POST and $_GET Everyone knows them!

13. RAW POST/PUT REQUEST DATA? <?php // get RAW HTTP POST $rawData = file_get_contents( 'php://input' ); // but this won't work with enctype=&quot;multipart/form-data&quot; :(

14. Why is symfony not RESTful? because RESTful web service is about resources, not functions/actions

15. My RESTful Framework Creating Resources Creating URIs Handling HTTP methods MIME-type support

16. Resources As Controllers A resources is a class that handles HTTP methods

17. /** * HTTP GET handler */ public function __handleGet ()‏ { // Not implemented $this->_response->setResponseCode(501); } /** * HTTP POST handler */ public function __handlePost ()‏ { // Not implemented $this->_response->setResponseCode(501); } /** * HTTP PUT handler */ public function __handlePut ()‏ { // Not implemented $this->_response->setResponseCode(501); }

18. /** * HTTP DELETE handler */ public function __handleDelete ()‏ { // Not implemented $this->_response->setResponseCode(501); } /** * HTTP HEAD handler */ public function __handleHead ()‏ { // Not implemented $this->_response->setResponseCode(501); }

19. Creating The URIs /blog/([a-zA-Z0-9]+)/? => blogResource

20. Composite Resources Konstrukt Framework (konstrukt.dk)‏

22. MIME Types & Multiple Views $_SERVER [ 'HTTP_ACCEPT' ] text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8

23. My framework is called Kao

24. Thank you! I love PHP!

25. Any Question?
