Here is my UserController.php  
public function signup()  
{  
$user = $this-\>Users-\>newEntity();  
if ($this-\>request-\>is(‘post’)) {  
$user = $this-\>Users-\>patchEntity($user, $this-\>request-\>getData());  
if ($this-\>Users-\>save($user)) {  
$this-\>Flash-\>success(\_\_(‘The user has been saved.’));

```
            return $this->redirect(['action' => 'index']);
        }
        $this->Flash->error(__('The user could not be saved. Please, try again.'));
    }
    $this->set(compact('user'));//pass to the view
    $this->set('_serialize', ['user']);
}
```
