Question

I’m currently writing a RESTful API for my service.
My url scheme is this:
http://www.mydomain.com/api/user – POST method, create new user
http://www.mydomain.com/api/user/id – GET/PUT method- Fetch/update user’s details

I wrote the userController.php on the server that handles those request and returns the right response. It’s on my server in the /api/userController.php

My question is how do I direct the above url’s (http://www.mydomain.com/api/user/ and http://www.mydomain.com/api/user/id) to activate the userController.php on the server?
Do I do it through the .htaccess file?

Thanks!

In your .htaccess file, replace this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f

with this:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ userController.php [QSA,L]
