PHP Task Manager API

A RESTful Task Manager API built in pure PHP — no frameworks, no CMS. Demonstrates clean PHP OOP, PDO database access, and REST API design from scratch.

Endpoints

Method Endpoint Description
GET /api/tasks List all tasks
GET /api/tasks/{id} Get single task
POST /api/tasks Create task
PUT /api/tasks/{id} Update task
DELETE /api/tasks/{id} Delete task

Example

# Create a task
curl -X POST https://your-site/api/tasks \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "title": "Set up CI/CD pipeline",
    "description": "Configure GitHub Actions",
    "priority": "high",
    "status": "pending"
  }'

# List all tasks
curl https://your-site/api/tasks
