Backbone.js with PHP Slim framework & MySQL

Run a MySQL database management tool and webserver of your choice (if working locally, it will most likely be XAMPP/MAMP/WAMP). Create a sample database teashop with 5 entries using the sql/tea.sql file. Import it in if using XAMPP etc.

In the getConnection() in api/index.php change the connection details to match your host, user, password and database name. The default is:

$dbhost = "127.0.0.1";
$dbuser = "root";
$dbpass = "";
$dbname = "teashop";

Access the app through a browser by pointing to the web server's URL, for example: http://localhost[:yourportnum]/your/folder/path.

You should see a table with data and be able to perform CRUD operations - add, edit and delete entries.
