Kindly tell me if any one knows about it?Why we need to make index function and how to define that and how to make a new function in same class? I have also search but could find any satisfactory answer. Here are some links http://book.cakephp.org/ CakePHP check if user is logged in inside a view

It is not mandatory to have index function in the controller, but if no action exist then by default cake search for index function, because by default index is searched by browser.

Its not mandatory to have an index() function in the controller and cake will never ever generate error for this. Index function is only made, so that anyone hitting your controller without any action never sees the error related to framework.

Its a good practice to have index() function in classed and index.html or index.php file to avoid directory access.
