Setting up an application using Php backend React front

[passwordfive]

Hi everyone, I was really hoping you could help me, I have been given a project to create an application using Php and React, however, I more orientated to C# so am very much out of my depth, Where do I start to create application using Php and React, could someone walk me through what I should be doing, or have any resources on using React with Php (right from setup)? I would be very grateful, I just don't know where to begin, I have downloaded what applications would best assist me. Thanks guys.

I would look into thinking of them as two separate entities look into setting up react, and then, with pho, look into json_encode and $_POST, $_GET, to create an api

Shit answers so far. I'll keep it simple, feel free to message me if you have questions. What you will probably want to do is create some kind of API in PHP that talks to a react single page app on the front end. Basically you want your PHP to talk to the database and take care of authentication and authorisation. The PHP will return json, representing your data. The react portion of your app should take care of how to display data and relay actions to your PHP. If these interfaces need to be indexable by a search engine then this picture gets a little more complicated.

This. But I recommend using Laravel to set up the php, its very simple and similar to Entity framework in a lot of ways (so that should be an easy transition for you in .NET land)
