REST API for the Analysis I forum

Description

This is a REST API for the Analysis I forum written in PHP.

Set up the project

1. Clone the repository: git clone git@github.com:hadriensevel/forum-rest-api.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd forum-rest-api
3. Run Composer to install the dependencies: composer update
4. Create a MySQL database and import the database/database.sql file. Via command-line, you can do this by running the following command: mysql -u <username> -p <database_name> < database/database.sql
5. Copy the config/config.example.php file to config/config.php and fill in the configuration with your database credentials and other settings.
6. Configure your web server. If you're using Apache, add the following lines to your .htaccess file located in the project root. If the file doesn't exist, create a new .htaccess file and add the following content:

   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI}  !(\.png|\.jpg|\.webp|\.gif|\.jpeg|\.zip|\.css|\.svg|\.js|\.pdf)$
   RewriteRule (.*) routes.php [QSA,L]

   Note: For other web servers like Nginx, you need to adjust the configuration accordingly. Here is an example for Nginx:

   location / {
       try_files $uri $uri/ /routes.php?$query_string;
   }

7. Set the correct file permissions. Ensure that the web server has read access to the project files and write access to the folders where file uploads or caching might occur.
