REST_Controller.php is not working in codeigniter

Question

I am going to use REST_Controller.php to make rest api's. (using codeigniter v3 on ubnatu 15)

from link https://github.com/chriskacerguis/codeigniter-restserver

on calling localhost/rest_api_ci/api/example/user/1

Showing me error

Fatal error: Class 'REST_Controller' not found in /var/www/html/rest_api_ci/application/controllers/api/Example.php on line 21

A look of Example.php file

<?php

defined('BASEPATH') OR exit('No direct script access allowed');

// This can be removed if you use __autoload() in config.php OR use Modular Extensions
/** @noinspection PhpIncludeInspection */
require(APPPATH.'libraries/REST_Controller.php');

class Example extends REST_Controller {

    function __construct()
    {

in libraries/REST_Controller.php everything is in right place . I am using .htaccess file to remove index.php — Vipul sharma

so your url must be localhost/rest_api_ci/index.php/api/Example/users — dhruv jadia

change your url from

localhost/rest_api_ci/api/example/user/1

to

http://localhost/rest_api_ci/index.php/api/Example/users

place example.php outside api folder and change url localhost/rest_api_ci/index.php/Example/users

Not working because "class Example extends REST_Controller" is not working

Removing Unnecessary Namespaces in REST_Server.php and Format.php helped me.

After

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

you need to add the namespace:

// use namespace

use Restserver\Libraries\REST_Controller;

... I ran into this issue few minutes ago and it worked with me
