自己创建一个Rest API

2015.10 大三上 面向web的计算课程

在大三上的课程中，海涛老师要求项目中运用rest进行数据采集。我两眼懵逼，啥是rest呀？然后就去网上找了学习资料。然后之后就着手开始自己写一个rest api。为什么要自己写呢？因为我没用框架，第一次使用php做网站，我想先打好基础再考虑高层次的东西，就没有用框架。其他人用的诸如laravel之类的PHP框架自己本身会带rest机制。对于我一个没用框架的孩子，只能自己默默写了。

当然，有参考例子哦http://www.gen-x-design.com/archives/create-a-rest-api-with-php/，不过这个例子一点都不全面，我自己补充了很多。

<?php


class RestUtils
{
 public static function processRequest()
    {
        // get our verb
        $request_method = strtolower($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD']);
        $return_obj     = new RestRequest();
        // we'll store our data here
        $data           = array();
    
        switch ($request_method)
        {
            // gets are easy...
            case 'get':
                $data = $_GET;
                break;
                // so are posts
            case 'post':
                $data = $_POST;
                break;
                // here's the tricky bit...
            case 'put':
            case 'delete':
                // basically, we read a string from PHP's special input location,
                // and then parse it out into an array via parse_str... per the PHP docs:
                // Parses str  as if it were the query string passed via a URL and sets
                // variables in the current scope.
                $string=file_get_contents('php://input');
                preg_match_all("|\".*\"|",$string,$out1, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
                preg_match_all("|\"\s+.*\s+------|",$string,$out2, PREG_PATTERN_ORDER);
                for($i=0;$i<count($out2[0]);$i++){
                    $out1[0][$i]=explode("\"", $out1[0][$i])[1];
                    $out2[0][$i]=explode("\n", $out2[0][$i])[2];
                    $out2[0][$i]=trim($out2[0][$i]);
                }
                $data=array();
                for($i=0;$i<count($out2[0]);$i++){
                     $data[$out1[0][$i]] = $out2[0][$i];
                }     
                break;
            
           
        }
    
        // store the method
        $return_obj->setMethod($request_method);
    
        // set the raw data, so we can access it if needed (there may be
        // other pieces to your requests)
        $return_obj->setRequestVars($data);
    
        if(isset($data['data']))
        {
            // translate the JSON to an Object for use however you want
            $return_obj->setData(json_decode($data['data']));
        }
        return $return_obj;
    }

public static function sendResponse($status = 200, $body = '', $content_type = 'text/html')  
    {  
        $status_header = 'HTTP/1.1 ' . $status . ' ' . RestUtils::getStatusCodeMessage($status);  
        // set the status  
        header($status_header);  
        // set the content type  
        header('Content-type: ' . $content_type);  
  
        // pages with body are easy
