I'm new to Zend Framework (not to PHP), and I need to create a REST based API using Zend.
I've seen examples using Zend_Rest_Server, however other sources state that that has been deprecated.
I'm unable to find a solid example which shows how I should be building such an API.
Zend_Rest_Server is indeed deprecated since ZF 1.9, you should use Zend_Rest_Controller instead. The following blog posts could be helpful : Building RESTful Services with Zend Framework and Create RESTful Applications Using The Zend Framework.
May be this link would be helpful: Creating a PHP REST API Using the Zend Framework. This code example support REST data in the format of XML and JSON.
Prerequisites:
PHP version > 5
Zend Framework 1.9.2 (at the minimum)
If you want something a little more in details, you can check the book
Zend Framework 2 Application Development.
The book explains construction of API oriented system in ZF2, through examples.
At the end of book you get:
- ZF2 API
- ZF2 Client side app.
The book has a lot of syntax errors as well as any book for programming, but it's only one on the market at this moment.
