How to implement authentication for RESTful API in PHP

How to implement RESTful API authentication in PHP

RESTful API is a commonly used Internet application programming interface design style. In actual development, in order to protect the security of the API, we usually need to authenticate users. This article will introduce how to implement RESTful API authentication in PHP and give specific code examples.

1. Basic Authentication

Basic authentication is the simplest authentication method and one of the most commonly used methods. The principle of basic authentication is to pass user credentials by adding an Authorization field in the HTTP request header. In PHP, we can achieve basic authentication by obtaining HTTP request header information.

<?php
// 获取HTTP请求头部信息
$headers = getallheaders();

// 验证Authorization字段
if (isset($headers['Authorization'])) {
    // 获取用户凭证
    $authHeader = $headers['Authorization'];
    list($type, $credentials) = explode(' ', $authHeader);

    // 解码凭证
    $decodedCredentials = base64_decode($credentials);
    list($username, $password) = explode(':', $decodedCredentials);

    // 验证用户名和密码
    if ($username == 'admin' && $password == '123456') {
        echo '通过身份验证';
    } else {
        echo '身份验证失败';
    }
} else {
    // 未传递Authorization字段，返回身份验证失败
    echo '身份验证失败';
}
?>

2. Token Authentication

Token authentication is a common authentication method. It generates a unique Token for the user after login authentication and sends the Token Returned to the client, each subsequent request from the client needs to add an Authorization field to the HTTP header to pass Token information. In PHP, we can use JSON Web Token (JWT) to implement Token authentication.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use FirebaseJWTJWT;

// 设置JWT密钥
$key = 'your-secret-key';

// 生成Token
$token = JWT::encode(array(
    'username' => 'admin',
    'exp' => time() + 3600
), $key);

// 解码Token
$decoded = JWT::decode($token, $key, array('HS256'));

// 验证Token
if ($decoded->username == 'admin') {
    echo '通过身份验证';
} else {
    echo '身份验证失败';
}
?>

In this example, we use the Firebase JWT library to generate and decode Token, which needs to be installed through Composer. For each request, we need to add the Token to the HTTP header for delivery.

3. OAuth 2.0 authentication

OAuth 2.0 is a commonly used open standard for authorizing third-party applications to access protected resources. In PHP, we can use the League OAuth2 Server library to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication.

<?php
require_once 'vendor/autoload.php';

use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantPasswordGrant;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantRefreshTokenGrant;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerResourceServer;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerAuthorizationServer;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerCryptKey;
use LeagueOAuth2ServerGrantClientCredentialsGrant;

// 设置公钥和私钥
$privateKey = new CryptKey('path/to/private.key', 'passphrase');
$publicKey = new CryptKey('path/to/public.key');

// 创建认证服务器
$server = new AuthorizationServer();

// 添加授权类型
$server->enableGrantType(
    new PasswordGrant(
        new UserRepository(),
        new RefreshTokenRepository()
    )
);

// 添加客户端授权类型
$server->enableGrantType(
    new ClientCredentialsGrant(),
    new DateInterval('PT1H') // 访问令牌有效期为1小时
);

// 创建资源服务器
$resourceServer = new ResourceServer(
    new AccessTokenRepository(),
    $publicKey
);

// 验证访问令牌
try {
    $accessToken = $resourceServer->validateAuthenticatedRequest(
        ZendDiactorosServerRequestFactory::fromGlobals()
    );

    echo '通过身份验证';
} catch (Exception $e) {
    echo '身份验证失败';
}
?>

In this example, we use the League OAuth2 Server library to implement OAuth 2.0 authentication. We need to create AuthorizationServer and ResourceServer instances and configure the corresponding authorization types and token repositories. For each request, we can use ResourceServer to verify the access token.

Summary

This article introduces the method of implementing RESTful API authentication in PHP, and gives code examples for basic authentication, Token authentication and OAuth 2.0 authentication. Based on actual needs and security requirements, you can choose a suitable authentication method to protect the security of the API.
