I did attend a seminar at Flash Camp Chennai, me as a PHP developer eagerly waiting for some useful tool to boost up my development work, i like your concept of ‘Restler’, when it is scheduled to go live

Thanks,
Narendran Srinivasan

Hey,
I’ve found a bug in the Restler::mapUrlToMethod function :

In the if($found) section :
$call->arguments=$p;
return $call;

The problem is that $p is not built with order:
For instance you could have $p[1] = arg1; $p[0] = arg2;
p = [ 1 => arg1, 0 => arg2 ]

Hence when call_user_funct_array will be called the array given in param will not be well sorted and the args will be badly given.

To correct this I just added after the $call->arguments=$p affectation:
ksort($call->arguments)

Regards,

Thomas.

@Luracast :
It always breaks when you remove ksort because in my case $p is already build to default
var_dump($p) =>
array(2) {
[1]=>
NULL
[2]=>
NULL
}
So 0 (has no default value) is the only one inserting in array when building arguments(so at the end of the array)
So at the end of the foreach loop $p is set to :
array(3) {
[1]=>
NULL
[2]=>
string(7) “testApp”
[0]=>
string(9) “access3_2”
}

What is good but badly ordered 😉
For info : I have 3 args, the first one is mandatory, the two others are optional with default to null.

How would you return a non-error status code, say 201? Not by doing “throw new RestException(201)”, right?

Hi, I was wondering where is the documentation for installation?

really nice library! what mysql adapter class do you recommend to use with it?

Thanks for the quick reply. Glad you mentioned the return of associative array. BTW, I noticed when an Id doesn’t exists the response is false yet the HTTP status code is 200, any chance to change this to 401?

Hi,

I’m looking at the simple BMI example and I have a question. I have modified the example and moved the bmi.php class file into a “classes” folder and the “restler” folder into a “lib” folder. When doing so and using spl_autoload_register(‘spl_autoload’) in “index.php” I get the following error:

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘Exception’ with message ‘API class BMI is missing.’

The complete code for index.php is:

require_once 'lib/restler/restler.php';

spl_autoload_register('spl_autoload');



$r = new Restler();

$r->setSupportedFormats('JsonFormat', 'XmlFormat');

$r->addAPIClass('BMI');

$r->handle();

What should I modify to make it work without having all the files in the same folder?

Regards,
Thomas

Hi there,

Its a very nice piece of code , that you have created there arul. I wanted to know how to can i use this to to help me create an api that has to authenticate before accesing a resource. Like for example i want to access http://www.xyz.com/folder/impresource.csv

I have my following code to get full url path

private function getFullCall() {

    $s = empty($_SERVER["HTTPS"]) ? '' : ($_SERVER["HTTPS"] == "on") ? "s" : "";

    $protocol = strleft(strtolower($_SERVER["SERVER_PROTOCOL"]), "/").$s;

    $port = ($_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"] == "80") ? "" : (":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT"]);

    return $protocol."://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$port.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];

}

    

private function strleft($s1, $s2) {

    return substr($s1, 0, strpos($s1, $s2));

}

but when i return $this->getFullCall(); it won’t give any result

how if i want get full url api call.
in php i can use $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’].

but when i use in main class, the $_SERVER[‘REQUEST_URI’] is don’t give a return

some few more items in mind:

1 – how do I switch output type? like XML or JSON? JSON is the most used standard anyhow, but some ppl might want to use XML occasionally? or other supported types? Would there be a way to implement something like http://site/API/mycall.json or /API/mycall.xml?

2 – to enable POST and GET on the same functions I can use the comments for routing method, and add a route for GET and a route for POST for the same function? (Do these comments configurations make ithe system any slower? thikning about large scalability)…

3 – Lowercase and Uppercase…whats the deal? in fucntion names, in file names, and in calls? Everything always lowercase except function names? Cant we use upper/lower to make things more readable?

4 – any example with file upload? or idea about it?

5 – is there any way to split the API files into further directories? Like /api/MODULE/FUNCTION I’d have 1 subdirectory for each MODULE, and one PHP for each FUNCTION? is something like this possible? adviseable?
