The Booking Server is implemented using PHP and Apache. To properly route
the requests, it makes use of the
.htaccess file, so make sure that
AllowOverride is enabled for the directory.
You must set up a SSL certificate, and have all requests served over HTTPS.
If your server does not already have an SSL certificate setup, you can
review the
Apache SSL/TLS documentation.
The PHP implementation does not rely upon protocol buffer libraries, but
instead, relies on simple JSON serialization methods.
To download the project, execute the following command:
The entire code base consists of only three files:
.htaccess instructs apache to route all of the /v3/ requests through
bookingserver.php
bookingserver.php handles the request logic, including authentication
apiv3methods.php has the methods implementing API v3 interface
After you download the files, you should place them in a servable directory.
Note that whichever directory you put them in will become the parent to the
/v3/ directory, which you do not need to explicitly create.
Testing your Booking Server
You may download and run the
booking test utility. To install it, follow the provided installation
instructions in its README page.
