REST API in PHP with WAMP

This project is a RESTful API developed in PHP and hosted on a WAMP server. The API interacts with a MySQL database. Sensitive configuration, such as database connection information, is securely managed using configuration files ignored by Git.

Prerequisites

• WAMP (Windows, Apache, MySQL, PHP)
• Composer (for PHP dependency management)

Installation

Step 1: Clone the repository

Clone the repository into your desired directory:

git clone https://github.com/DWWM-23526/Projet-passion-mangAPI.git
cd Projet-passion-mangAPI

Step 2: Install dependencies

Make sure Composer is installed, then run the following command to install project dependencies:

composer install

Step 3: Configure the database

Create a db.config.php file in the config directory with the following content:

<?php
return [
    'database' => [
        'host' => 'votre_hote',
        'port' => votre_port,
        'db' => 'votre_nom_de_bdd',
        'user' => 'votre_utilisateur',
        'pass' => 'votre_mot_de_passe',
        'charset' => 'utf8mb4',
        'collate' => 'utf8mb4_general_ci',
    ]
];

Note: This file is added to .gitignore for security reasons. Make sure not to include your connection details in your repository.

Also, ensure to create a migration.log file in a log folder at the root of your project.

Step 4: Configure the log

Create a migration.log file in a log folder at the root of the project.

Step 5: Set up the Virtual Host

Add a virtual host configuration in your WAMP server.

Step 6: Initialize the database

MySQL is required.

The database is automatically created when initializing the project, so no additional steps are needed.

Usage

Once the WAMP server is configured and running, you can access your API by navigating to http://api.your-project.local in your browser or using a tool like Postman to send HTTP requests.
