Hi Sam, First thing is that you should used the restful technique that is already in CakePHP.
Please go through http://book.cakephp.org/2.0/en/development/rest.html Now focus on your problem Yes, you can use the Auth->login but the things is notice how you are posting your data, here I am talking about post data array format. Please dump post variable that help to solve the issue.

So please show the code which calls calls the webservice. rrd 2014.10.11. 3:56 ezt írta ("Sam" <lightai...@gmail.com>): It is cakephp 2.5 On Saturday, October 11, 2014 9:53:21 AM UTC+8, Matthew Kaufman wrote: Is this Cake 2.6 or 3?

Below is a simple implementation of the web service placed inside UsersController.php public function webservice_login() { $this->autoRender = false; if ($this->request->is('post')) { if ($this->Auth->login()) { echo json_encode(array('ok_msg' => 'User authentication success')); } else { echo json_encode(array('fail_msg' => 'User authentication failure')); } } } It does not work. The error message I received is something like this; \n\tError: \n\tPostsController could not be found. \n \n\tError: \n\tCreate the class PostsController below in file: app\\Controller\\PostsController.php \n \n<?php\nclass PostsController extends AppController {\n\n}\n \n \n\tNotice: \n\tIf you want to customize this error message, create app\\View\\Errors\\missing_controller.ctpWhat is wrong with the code? How should I rewrite the web service? I am using Cakephp 2.5. Strange thing is I do not have a controller called Post in the first place. -- Like Us on FaceBook https://www.facebook.com/CakePHP Find us on Twitter http://twitter.com/CakePHP --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CakePHP" group.
