Suggestion to make portable, faster and streamline for your read.php example.

[jhersey29]

Thank your for your work and simple API starter. I wanted to recommend a few small changes that I ran into when getting it going. I know you designed this for just MySql. I ported it over to Sql Server and the rowCount in PDO does not work with Sql Server. This code will work in both platforms and removes some extraneous unnecessary code and improves the performance.

`<?php
header("Access-Control-Allow-Origin: *");
header("Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8");

include_once '../config/database.php';
include_once '../class/employees.php';
    
$database = new Database();
$db = $database->getConnection();

$items = new Employee($db);
$stmt = $items->getEmployees();
    
$employeeArr = array();
$employeeArr["body"] = array();    

while ($row = $stmt->fetch(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC)){             
    $employeeArr["body"][] = $row;        
}     
$employeeArr["itemCount"] = count($employeeArr["body"]);

if($employeeArr["itemCount"] > 0 ){
    echo json_encode($employeeArr);
} else {
    http_response_code(404);
    echo json_encode(
        array("message" => "No record found.")
    );
}`
