in your autologin you searched for _autoLogin as a method inside the controller.. can I declare _autoLogin as protected? #6

I am trying to refactor my code to conform more to CakePHP standards.

For CakePHP standards, _methodName is meant for protected methods.

Can your autologin code still work if I change the _autoLogin in my UsersController to protected?

No, it has to be public. You can't call a protected method from outside of scope, that's just basic PHP rules, nothing to do with Cake. That's why its underscored, so that it can't be used as an action.

Understood.

I will use // @codingStandardsIgnoreStart to tell phpcs to ignore the related methods in my AppController.

Thank you.
