codeigniter rest server issue

Question

i'm working with codeigniter rest server by phil sturgeon. I'm following net.tutsplus tutorial for restfull services here . I've installed the rest server locally and working intially to see how it works before installing it on server.

I'm having alot of problems from the starts. i included the REST_Controller.php file in my main controller and after that line when i do this :

 class Courses extends REST_Controller {

  function index (){
  $this->load->view('index');
  }

}

it gives error saying: Fatal error: Class 'REST_Controller' not found. But if i replace REST_Controller with CI_Controller it loads the index view. I'm stuck on this for 4 hours and nothing is working my way. need your advice guyz thnx in advance

From the docs: https://github.com/philsturgeon/codeigniter-restserver#installation

Quick way would be to add before class Courses extends REST_Controller {

require(APPPATH.'libraries/REST_Controller.php');

Also, consider using __autoload Using the PHP spl_autoload_register() with Codeigniter

Also the function name becomes index_get(). If your method is post then function should end with _post.

It should be something like this

class Courses extends REST_Controller {

 function index_get (){
   $this->response(array('success' => 'Yes it is working'), 200);
 }

}

Add this function on the top of your config.php file. In this way you don't need to include any file to any controller who extends REST_Controller.

function __autoload($classname) {
    if (strpos($classname, 'CI_') !== 0) {
        $file = APPPATH . 'libraries/' . $classname . '.php';
        if (file_exists($file) && is_file($file)) {
            @include_once($file);
        }
    }
}
