I had studied a book [1] on RESTful Web Services with PHP last year. The
authors used the following style of representing resources

api/user.php/<id>/json

Not sure if this is the standard way, but I think it's easier to start
without rewrite rules (more people will join and test).

Read more about it at my blog [2].

Comments?
