Rest controller

CodeIgniter by default doesn't have a good way to interact a REST library, so we included one from philsturgen. There's a great article on how to use it.

Example

   <?php
   require(APPPATH.'libraries/REST_Controller.php');  
   class Name extends REST_Controller {
      function index_get() { 
         $variable = $this->get('variable');
         $this->response(array('data' => $variable));
      }
      function index_post() {
         $variable = $this->post('variable');
      }
      function index_delete() { 
         $variable = $this->delete('variable');
      }
      function index_put() { 
         $variable = $this->put('variable');
      }
   }

• Note the end of the function names, this defines the REST type.
• You call the controller index.php/Name/index, and the REST type will call the proper function
• You can set the default response type in config/rest.php but you can also append format/json to the end of your URLs to get different data outputs.
• When doing GET variables, you must define it within the URL itself such as variable/variable_content. Make sure you URL encode these or it'll complain (for security reasons).
