What is Webservices?

Webservices are used to allow user to access data from diffrent sources like
Android app, IOS app, website etc from a centralized database.
We can create a webservice through two methods :
• SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)
• REST (Representational State Transfer)

SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol)

SOAP : Simple Object Access Protocol. SOAP is easy to read because
SOAP based on XML. SOAP is the XML based format for sending and
receiving data.

 REST (Representational State Transfer)
 REST : Representational State Transfer. It is an
architectural style that run over HTTP. REST webservices
generate status code response in JSON & XML.
 REST support all HTTP methods GET, POST, PUT &
DELETE.

 GET : Retrieve particular resources by an id

 POST : Create a new resource.
 PUT : Update a particular resource by an id.
 DELETE : Remove a particular resource.

 Step 1 : Create a database ( create database your_databasename)
 Step 2 : create a SQL table signup. signup table structure given below :
CREATE TABLE `signup` (
`id` int(11) NOT NULL,
`fullName` varchar(120) DEFAULT NULL,
`gender` varchar(100) DEFAULT NULL,
`contactNumber` char(10) DEFAULT NULL,
`email` varchar(150) DEFAULT NULL,
`password` varchar(200) DEFAULT NULL,
`regDate` timestamp NULL DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP
) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=latin1;
ALTER TABLE `signup`
ADD PRIMARY KEY (`id`);

}

 header(“Content-type:application/json”) sends the http
json header to the browser to inform him what the kind of
a data he expects.
 json_decode(file_get_contents(‘php://input’),true) receive
the RAW post data via the php://input IO stream.
We retrieve the raw POST data from
the php://input stream.
 header(….) detect http response line.
 header(“HTTP/1.1 200 OK”); // for successful attempt
 header(“HTTP/1.1 400 Bad Request”); // for bad request
 header(‘Content-Type: text/plain’) indicates that the
content is plain text and no special software is required to
read the contents.

 How to test this service in your local system
 Install postman chrome extension
 Run postman chrome extension then a new
request
 Choose http request method
 Enter the requested url
 Provide the requested data in JSON Format
 Hit the send button

 Input parameters will be like this
{
“fullName”: “John Doe”,
“gender”:”Male”,
“number”:”7556645345342″,
“email”:”john@anc.com”,
“password”: “Demo”
}
 Output will be in JSON format

 For successful attempt

{“StatusCode”:”200″,”StatusDescription”:”Registration
successful”}
 For unsuccessful attempt

{“StatusCode”:”400″,”StatusDescription”:”Something went
wrong. Please try again.}
