Create a fun game kind of a program. Use PHP to write a service that could be saved in a file animation.php, that outputs a single frame from a student's textnimation.txt file. Each student’s animation data is stored on the web server with your PHP file, in a student’s directory within subdirectories that have the same names as the students. For example, student Jaden animation data is stored in students/jaden/textanimation.txt. Suppose that the contents of that file are those shown below.
Create a fun game kind of a program. Use PHP to write a service that could be saved
in a file animation.php, that outputs a single frame from a student's textnimation.txt
file. Each student’s animation data is stored on the web server with your PHP file, in a
student’s directory within subdirectories that have the same names as the students.
For example, student Jaden animation data is stored in
students/jaden/textanimation.txt. Suppose that the contents of that file are those
shown below.
• The service is sent a request parameter named student that corresponds to a
student whose animation data should be retrieved.
• The service also accepts an optional second parameter named frame
specifying which frame of the animation to output, 0-based.
• If this parameter is not passed, frame 0 (the first frame) is used.
• Recall that frames are separated by a line of =====.
So for example, if your web service is contacted using the URL of
animation.php?student=jaden&frame=2, the following should be the output:
NB: Your output should use the text/plain content type.
You may have to consider the following:
• If the student parameter is not passed or refers to a nonexistent file/directory,
the service produces no output or error.
• If the frame parameter is passed with a negative value, or a value greater than
the number of frames in the student’s file, no output or error is produced.
