This works:
$test = $this->rest->get('property');

But this doesn't:
$test = $this->rest->get('property', array('id' => '1'),'application/json');

Code:

Request

http://localhost/index.php/api/property?winman_id=1

=============================================

Response

&lt;head&gt;

}

&lt;/style&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

It must be the query string causing the issue. Why doesnt it produce a URL like:
http://localhost/index.php/api/property/id/1

That URL works fine the browser, cannot the client library use that instead of query strings?

Also if I post xml to the server, how do I receive it in the server post function?

Many thanks

Hi,

I do not know what it works like that Sad

Can't you use POST instead of GET?

Just change Api from _get() to _post() (function) and ofcourse when calling from client.

Regarding XML - no idea - never used it (not with REST - not with anything else) Smile

Maybe Phil will get here later on...

Cheers,
Smilie

So how would you retrieve json when you post it to the server?

I think it will be the same process for XML.

Paul,

Here is an example of my code:

Api (REST Server):

Code:
/**

     * Check if client exists, based on the e-mail address

     * Input: e-mail address

     * @return    string    $result

     */

    function clientExists_post()

    {

        # Load clients model

        $this->load->model('client_model');

        $result = $this->client_model->clientExists($this->input->post('email'));

        $this->response($result, 200);

    }

Controller which calls this Api function:

Code:
$this->load->library('rest', array('server' => REST_SERVER));

$data_check = array('email' => $this->input->post('email'));

$clientExists = $this->rest->post('clientExists',$data_check,'json');

if($this->input->post('email') != '' && $clientExists == "found")

{

   # Do something...

}

else

{

# Do something else...

}

And the model which is called from Api function:

Code:
/**

     * Check if client exists

     * @param    string    $email

     * @return    boolean    $result

     */

    function clientExists($email='')

    {

        # Load database

        $dbwild = $this->load->database('blaat',TRUE);

        # Prepare query

        $dbwild->select('client_id');

        $dbwild->from('client');

        $dbwild->where('client_username',$email);

        $query = $dbwild->get();

        if($query->num_rows() > 0)

        {

            # We have a client in DB with the given e-mail

            $result = "found";

        }

        else

        {

            # No known client

            $result = "not found";

        }

        return $result;

    }

Instead of $result = "found" / "not found" you can also do:
return TRUE / FALSE.

You can also return arrays, in that case:

Code:
$return = array('result'=>'found');

and in the rest client:

Code:
if($this->input->post('email') != '' && $clientExists->result == "found")

JSON returns object, so you access array with $data->array_key;
In case of multiple array
$data->array_key1['array_key2'] etc...

Hope this helps :-)

Cheers,
Smilie

is there a way to keep friendly-urls (via htaccess) and to use phil's restful server code? i had inquired about this on nettuts, but i haven't seen a reply.

thanks in advance!!

i want to fetch data from the database and want to send that data to mobile application using url. than how can i do that...????

[eluser]Phil Sturgeon[/eluser]
CodeIgniter by default will 404 if you try using a query string. You have to enable query string support before you can send GET parameters to CI or REST_Controller in this way.

Once that is done, you can populate $this->get('id') with /users/method/id/1 or /users/method?id=1

$this->post() is used to fetch post data.
$this->put() is used to fetch put data.
$this->delete() is used to fetch delete data.

You can send a body to REST_Server which will be contained in $this->request->body, but you will have to format that yourself.

Hope this clears some stuff up!

I found a small bug in Phil's REST_SERVER library ... at line 118, is not "statuc" but "status" :

Code:
$this->response( array('statuc' => false, 'error' => 'Only AJAX requests are accepted.'), 505 );

change to :

Code:
$this->response( array('status' => false, 'error' => 'Only AJAX requests are accepted.'), 505 );

Cheers
