如何使用本地主机上的axios（react-redux）进行服务器调用（PHP）（使用快速服务器）？

Question

I'm new to React. I have a button in one of the components, on clicking the button, a server side (PHP) call should be made using axios GET call and the response should change the state of the store.

I have set the app using webpack and using the express server. What changes to their settings be made in order to run PHP code?

You don't have to change any settings there. These tools can't run PHP code. If you want to serve your static files ( .html , .css , .js ) with express you can leave that as it is. But you have to run another local webserver next to express that can run PHP code and that listens on another port. PHP 5.4+ has a built-in development server. Or you can use nginx or apache .

You could use eg Laravel which is a popular web application framework. This makes it easy to run a local development server and to define a RESTful api which you will need to provide in order to communicate with your react app. Laravel uses the built-in PHP web server. When you installed Laravel you can start it with:

php artisan serve

This command will start a development server at http://localhost:8000 . Express is per default running at http://localhost:3000 .

Then you can define a REST api in Laravel and send requests to it.

Of course you can use other PHP frameworks too if you don't want to use Laravel.
