a PHP RESTful API to work with the queue system in order to insert and retrieve queue entries from the database.
We have a council who would like to use an application to queue people at the reception desk. I build a RESTful API to work with the queue system in order to insert and retrieve queue entries from the database.
I have run it in PHP 7.0 but I think it will work in PHP 5.6 MySQL
| Method | Data Type | Path | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
| GET | JSON | /queue | Retrieves all the entries queued today |
| GET | JSON | /queue/citizen | Retrieves all the entries queued today filters by Citizen |
| GET | JSON | /queue/anonymous | Retrieves all the entries queued today filters by Anonymous |
| POST | JSON | /queue | Create a new entry into the queue table with the current timestamp |
1.Crete database in your Mysql 2.Run the SQL script in file system/data.sql to create the database table with some enteries 3.Open file system/config.php 4.Change the configuration of database in array $config_database 5.Change the configuration of the host URL in array $config_setting 6.Be carfull about the value of subFolder read the cooments 7.Open your browser in the url as you write in the $config_setting for example localhost:8000/queue 8.If the application will run in vhost sub folder then brwoser it localhost:8000/subFolder/queue 9.This will return json.
