PHP Authentication: Implementing Access Token
After successfully setting up our project, you'll observe that certain packages come pre-installed. One of these packages is vlucas/phpdotenv. This package serves the purpose of facilitating the loading of .env variables within your projects. These variables, stored in a file named '.env', allow for the configuration of various settings without hardcoding them directly into your code. Instead, you can define environment-specific variables such as database credentials, API keys, or any other sensitive information in the .env file, providing a more flexible and secure approach to configuration management.

Question Regarding Environment Variables
Recently, I jumped to reading on the documentation of the function putenv() and define() and the array $_ENV to understand the different between all. Also, I looked at the library phpdotenv and how it handles environment variables since its the standard approach to go with when dealing with environment variables in PHP.

Is it possible to store sensitive data on a shared hosting's DB?
So to get down to it, what are some of the best practices here? First off, things that you would normally do, like utilize some sort of secrets manager, that won't be available to you. You also can't utilize environment variables with apache. So you're going to have to have some sort of local secret (password/passphrase) to perform the encryption/decryption. With that said, mysql does provide AES encryption with their AES_ENCRYPT/AES_DECRYPT calls, so in that manner, yes you can safely store PII or other values in a shared MySQL. You can use a php library like https://github.com/vlucas/phpdotenv The decryption password(s) should be in the .ENV file Nothing prevents you from utilizing some scheme perhaps to provide multiple passwords if you want to, perhaps a separate one for each individual column you plan to encrypt.

Weekly help thread
b) Separate out all SQL and PHP database code. Put these in separate classes similar to this example Slim First Application Mapper class. You can decide later if you want to use a framework's DB code or not - it would be simply refactoring your existing code and not changing (hopefully) the API that you started using internally
- Any good no framework PHP MYSQL web app in github, I can learn from?
- Simplest PHP template ever. Password hashed PDO register and login. Just add Postgres DB info in .ini file or change the Singleton class for MySQL. User table should have "username" and "password" fields. Plus whatever else you want. simple_dom_html.php library included. PHP 7.4+

Is a framework necessary to create a PHP project?
Yes, as an example, the First Application's business logic (not that it's much) doesn't tie itself to the framework, as one example. Odan's Slim Skeleton, ADR Example (yes, I know you are the author), and the Aura Payload example class can be seen as other examples.
-
Do I need Laravel for an HTTP API project? If so, why?
Both. Build business logic with PHP, then use a framework for the common functionality (routing, auth, validation, etc). Look at Slim's First Application to show a very simple example of this - https://github.com/slimphp/Tutorial-First-Application

I'm new to PHP OOP and looking for feedback on my proposed OOP design structure before I dive in a start coding it. Thanks!
Another option, to me and speaking to the OP as an alternative, it is simpler to add some Data Mappers/Repositories to abstract away the Database code. Good examples is the sample ADR application, Payload library example, Slim 3 First Application, or this Slim 4 Skeleton application
