# proxy-php

A simple PHP proxy that makes it possible to work around CORS limitations between a frontend and a backend server.

## Overview

The request cycle is as follows

* the browser makes a request to "/$PROXYNAME/xx" on the frontend server

* the proxy script takes everything after "/$PROXYNAME/" and appends it to $CMS_SERVERHOST

* the proxy script makes a request to the resulting URL $CMS_SERVERHOST/xx on the backend server

* the response is directed back to the browser

## Requirements

* PHP

* Apache mod_rewrite module

* Apache mod_setenvif module

## Usage

Copy this folder to the document root of your frontend server and preferrably call the folder 'proxy'.

Adapt the settings.conf.php file and customize the following variables

```php

// The URL of the backend server that browser requests should be proxied to

$CMS_SERVERHOST = 'http://example.com/';

// The path to the proxy script on the frontend server

$PROXYNAME = '/proxy/';

```
