Hi everyone,

I have set up this rest datasource, so now I need to place some
functions which are to:

1)Send data to the Rest API
2)Receive data from the Rest API

May I know where do I place the dynamic string variables such as,
userid, sessionid, itemid so that it can be sent to to the API which
is currently in the "Send function" ?

The reason it is dynamic is because, each user view a page, e.g. view/
5 by userid=1, item=5: these data are sent to the rest API when they
view that page. I wonder where do these dynamic string variables
functions should be stored? I have the working piece of codes in a non-
cake PHP scripting, I just can’t figure out where to place it in, e.g.
in my Rest Model? the Controller which I want to use to display the
data? or in the Rest datasource?

Here's what I mean:

The member's data:(E.g.)

$itemId = "5";
$sessionid = "F3D4E3BE31EE3FA069F5434DB7EC2E34";
$itemdescription = "Chicken Chop";
$itemurl = "/food/view/5";
$itemImageurl = "*/sample-image-url.jpg";
$userid = "24EH17KOMEWKKJNS89";
$timeRange = "ALL";

Send Action:

$eventReply = sendAction("view", $itemId, $itemdescription ,$itemurl ,
$itemimageurl,$sessionid,$userid);

....
... //and other functions
...
...

I have checked out other developers sending to ReST but mostly using
static data. I'm not sure though. (e.g.) Google Analytics, Yahoo or
Flickr, Twitter, which usually allow us to CRUD. But what about
dynamically sending and receiving data ? I'm quite sure it can be done
but nothing much can be read about this.

Hope someone could clarify this for a bit. Thanks.

regards,
John Maxim
