This tutorial demonstrates how to upload Slim Framework to a remote site e.g hostinger.

The steps are applicable to other remote hosting as well.

In the example, we are preparing the site for RESTFUL service.

Log into your hostinger site.

Go into public_html folder.

The api folder contains two files; .htaccess specifies the url rewrite directives and index.php provides program logics.

<?php

require 'Slim/Slim.php';

\Slim\Slim::registerAutoloader();

$app = new \Slim\Slim();

$app->get('/users','getUsers');

$app->get('/updates','getUserUpdates');

$app->post('/updates', 'insertUpdate');

$app->delete('/updates/delete/:update_id','deleteUpdate');

$app->get('/users/search/:query','getUserSearch');

$app->run();

function getUsers() {

        echo "getUsers method";

}

function getUserUpdates() {

        echo "getUserUpdates method";

}

function getUserUpdate($update_id) {

        echo "getUserUpdate method";

}

function insertUpdate() {

        echo "insertUpdate method";

}

function deleteUpdate($update_id) {

        echo "deleteUpdate method";

}

function getUserSearch($query) {

        echo "getUserSearch method";

}

?>

RewriteEngine On

# Some hosts may require you to use the `RewriteBase` directive.

# If you need to use the `RewriteBase` directive, it should be the

# absolute physical path to the directory that contains this htaccess file.
