URLencoding works for all characters except / and \

2012-10-23 Thread Lightee
Dear cakephp experts,

While passing parameters through URL, there are cases when the parameters 
contain funny characters like %$#. This problem is solved when I encode the 
URL. However, for some reason, characters such as backslash / and 
forward-slash \ simply do not work on cakephp. All other characters work 
after encoding the URL.

I have already spent significant amount of time on this problem. Can 
someone advise?

Thank you very much.

Possible to make different controllers share same action?

2012-09-14 Thread Lightee
Dear Cakephp experts,

My database has a number of tables. The controller corresponding to each 
table share similar actions. Basically, the only difference is that the 
controller name is different. Is there some way to make them share the same 
action even though the controller name is different? Otherwise, I will have 
to code same action for different controllers which is highly inefficient. 

Thank you.

Re: Documentation on modifying default REST routes

2012-08-10 Thread Lightee
Thanks for your patient replies. Yes, I did read it even a few times but 
cannot be sure if I understand correctly. The problem is there is no sample 
code to test one's understanding. 

 "edit", "[method]" => "PUT"),
array("id" => "[0-9]+"));

I am guessing that what it means is that the action "edit" uses HTTP PUT 
and the parameter passed in is the id field. id field is a digit. What if I 
want to pass in 2 or more parameters which are not primary keys? May I know 
if this can be done in CakePHP?

Thank you very much.

Documentation on modifying default REST routes

2012-08-09 Thread Lightee
Dear Cakephp gurus,

I am trying to build web services using CakePHP. The default REST routes 
are not suitable for me as add, edit, update, delete are already taken up 
for other purposes. 

I need to modify the default rates. From 
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html,

 'index', 'method' => 'GET', 'id' => false),
array('action' => 'view', 'method' => 'GET', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'add', 'method' => 'POST', 'id' => false),
array('action' => 'edit', 'method' => 'PUT', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'delete', 'method' => 'DELETE', 'id' => true),
array('action' => 'update', 'method' => 'POST', 'id' => true)));

What does 'id'=>false or true means? I cannot find sufficient documentation in 
the API documentation. 

I have tried to search everywhere on sample code for CakePHP web services. But 
all I found are 2 links on related documentation
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html
http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/views/json-and-xml-views.html

To newbies like me, it is not very helpful although it may be enough for the 
experts. Can someone point me to more links?

Thank you very much.

Re: Can CakePHP code be obfuscated for protection?

Thanks for the suggestion. It is a good one. However, my project is divided

Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to obfuscate the code for

Is CakePHP more suitable for web services or Zend Framework?

2012-07-31 Thread Lightee
Dear CakePHP gurus,

I have no intention to start an emotional thread about which framework is 
better. Asking this question on this forum is also rather stupid because 
members here are likely to be biased. Nevertheless, I hope to get objective 
replies.

I would like to build a website that focuses on web services - particularly 
CRUD, search and query functions. From what I read on the net, Zend 
Framework supporters say that Zend has much more components than CakePHP to 
support web services. On the other hand, my understanding of CakePHP is 
that Zend Framework components can be imported into CakePHP vendors folder. 
If that is the case, wouldn't it be a no-brainer to use CakePHP? In that 
regard, I have a few questions ... 
- How easy is it to import Zend components into CakePHP? Do we need to 
modify the Zend components such that they follow certain naming conventions?
- Can most Zend components or only selected ones be imported? How about the 
ones that deal with web services?

Thank you for your help.

Tool to visualize database schema on cakephp

2012-07-30 Thread Lightee
Dear cakephp experts,

Does anyone know of tools that can help us visualize the database schema on 
cakephp? Hopefully, it can show the relationship (1 to many, 1 to 1) 
between different tables.

Thank  you.

Re: Getting CakePhp to talk to Android devices

Thank you. I am a newbie. I don't even see the answer when it is presented 
to me. On careful reading, I think the links already provided the tips on 
how to add CRUD web services.

Re: Getting CakePhp to talk to Android devices

2012-07-26 Thread Lightee
Thank you for all the helpful answers. Are there ready samples of web 
services to enable a CakePHP app to allow Android apps to retrieve and 
update data from MySql? It is hard for a newbie like me to be able to start 
work based on API documentation.

Thank you.

Using quick way like scaffolding or bake for mobile views

2012-07-26 Thread Lightee
Dear CakePHP experts,

I am a newbie to web technologies. I just started using CakePHP and was 
delighted with how fast I can create a CRUD website with scaffolding and 
bake. May I know if I can have the same convenience with mobile websites 
for mobile devices?

Thank you for your advice.

Getting CakePhp to talk to Android devices

2012-07-26 Thread Lightee
Dear CakePHP experts,

I am thinking of creating an Android app to talk to CakePHP server app. 
Sorry for my amateur questions because I am still a newbie. Is there 
anything extra I need to do on the CakePHP side? Are web services the way 
to go? Can the Android talk to MySql database directly and pull out data?

Thank you.
