Phil Sturgeon's REST server, Codeigniter3, error messages no return on PUT

you must read this link,

http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/working-with-restful-services-in-codeigniter-2--net-8814

if you use apikey, you must set

    $config['rest_auth'] = 'basic'    $config['rest_enable_keys'] = TRUE;

also make a table in database for storing api key

CREATE TABLE `keys` (    `id` INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,    `user_id` INT(11) NOT NULL,    `key` VARCHAR(40) NOT NULL,    `level` INT(2) NOT NULL,    `ignore_limits` TINYINT(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',    `is_private_key` TINYINT(1)  NOT NULL DEFAULT '0',    `ip_addresses` TEXT NULL DEFAULT NULL,    `date_created` INT(11) NOT NULL,    PRIMARY KEY (`id`)) ENGINE=InnoDB DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8;

insert into that database minimum 1 row, the important column only key, it is the apikey

the apikey must contains 40 digits alphanumeric for security reasons

and again, you must read documentation, and the rest.php in application/config

    $config['rest_valid_logins'] = ['admin' => '1234'];

that login is set by default, so you must insert that login in your header of client request, etc

    http_user           'admin'    http_pass           '1234'    X-API-KEY           '123456'    first_name          test    email_address       abc

if that header not work, try this

    http_user           'admin'    http_pass           '1234'    api_name            'X-API-KEY'    api_key             '123456'    first_name          test    email_address       abc

if you have try request like this before with your

    $config['rest_auth'] = FALSE

actually you not yet securing your api webservice

I was placing the PUT variables in the Headers tab within POSTman.

Only the X-API-KEY belongs in the request header. The rest of the data (e.g. email_address, first_name, etc) should be passed in the request body (e.g. from within the Body tab of POSTman).

All works correctly now.
