Pro PHP Security: From Application Security Principles to the Implementation of XSS Defenses, Second Edition

A Basic REST Server in PHP

What follows is a very basic REST server that you can use to create basic services. It is meant as a starter for you to use, something you can build other functionality on top of (for example, any security measures). First, let's take a look at the two classes we want to use for our implementation, and then we'll walk through it.

class RestUtilities {     public static function processRequest()     {         $req_method = strtolower($_SERVER['request_method']);         $obj = new RestRequest();         $data = array();         switch ($req_method)         {             case 'get':                 $data = $_GET;                 break;             case 'post':                 $data = $_POST;                 break;
