Handling server-side sync with Codeigniter for Backbone.js

Question

How should a Backbone sync aka RESTful JSON request be handled on the PHP Codeigniter side?

There's a Ruby example in the manual but I don't know Ruby maybe someone could translate it?

def update
  account = Account.find params[:id]
  account.update_attributes params
  render :json => account
end
