    <p>I was creating a REST API for logging in using CakePHP. My question is:</p> <ol> <li>In <code>routes.php</code>, what do I fill in <code>mapresources("xxx")</code>? </li> <li>POST <code>/XXX.format XXXController::add() &lt;=</code> this is given in documentation. If my app folders are like this: <code>/localhost/FC/app/webroot/</code> etc. What would the URL be for the post request through which I would send JSON format username and password? Currently I access <code>index.php</code> in webroot by typing <code>localhost/FC</code>.</li> <li><p>If i name my controller Apis instead of recipes below, like <code>ApisController.php</code>, where do I do changes in the code below? And how do I use add? it's not given in the documentation:</p> <pre><code>class RecipesController extends AppController { public $components = array('RequestHandler'); public function index() { $recipes = $this-&gt;Recipe-&gt;find('all'); $this-&gt;set(array( 'recipes' =&gt; $recipes, '_serialize' =&gt; array('recipes') )); } public function view($id) { $recipe = $this-&gt;Recipe-&gt;findById($id); $this-&gt;set(array( 'recipe' =&gt; $recipe, '_serialize' =&gt; array('recipe') )); } public function edit($id) { $this-&gt;Recipe-&gt;id = $id; if ($this-&gt;Recipe-&gt;save($this-&gt;request-&gt;data)) { $message = 'Saved'; } else { $message = 'Error'; } $this-&gt;set(array( 'message' =&gt; $message, '_serialize' =&gt; array('message') )); } public function delete($id) { if ($this-&gt;Recipe-&gt;delete($id)) { $message = 'Deleted'; } else { $message = 'Error'; } $this-&gt;set(array( 'message' =&gt; $message, '_serialize' =&gt; array('message') )); } } </code></pre></li> <li><p>Lastly, if I send a user-id password in json to this url, what command do I do to return a 200 ok response?</p></li> </ol> <p>I know its a bit much, but I'm really a novice and I'm not able to grasp this concept even though I've been at it for 3 days and am about to faint of exhaustion. Please help!</p> <p>Right now, the controller is customer:</p> <pre><code>public function login() { if ($this-&gt;Session-&gt;check('Customer')) { //to check if already logged in $this-&gt;Session-&gt;setFlash('You are already logged in as ' . $this-&gt;Session-&gt;read('Customer.Customer.fname') . ' ' . $this-&gt;Session-&gt;read('Customer.Customer.sname')); $this-&gt;redirect($this-&gt;Session-&gt;read('ref')); } else { if ($this-&gt;request-&gt;is('post')||$this-&gt;request-&gt;is('ajax')) { //receives data by ajax from popup of login $name = $this-&gt;request-&gt;data('name'); $pwd = $this-&gt;request-&gt;data('pwd'); $pwd = md5($pwd); //hashing of password $customer = $this-&gt;Customer-&gt;findByEmail($name); if (!$customer) { $msg = 'Wrong Username or password/false'; } if ($customer['Customer']['active'] == 1) { $customer = $this-&gt;Customer-&gt;findByEmailAndPassword($name, $pwd); if (@$customer) { $this-&gt;Session-&gt;write('Customer', $customer); $msg = $customer['Customer']['fname'].'/true'; if ($this-&gt;Session-&gt;check('order')) { $msg = $this-&gt;Session-&gt;read('loc_id').'/set'; } } else { $msg = 'Wrong Username or password/false'; } } else { $msg = 'Your account in not active. Please check your mails to get the activation link/false'; } } } echo $msg; </code></pre>

    1. COJust FYI, I don't know how you do save passwords, but you seem to only md5 them. Please note that md5 is not a secure hashing and should only be used as an identifier (example file md5 checksum). Please check out bcrypt, scrypt or pbkdf2 hashings which are a lot more secure! CakePHP has a default implementation of bcrypt so it's not too hard to use!

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
