How to $_GET on Paypal success transaction - El Forum - 10-30-2008 [eluser]achilez[/eluser] Hi, Im new here, I have a website that accepts credit card via paypal, I have a problem on getting the information from paypal when the transaction is successful. Example: http://www.mysite.com/return/?param1=123456&param2=123456&param3=123456&param4=123456 how can i get the value of param1, param2, param3 etc? because i want to save it on db. I tried getting the values via $_GET like below and it didn't work: print_r($_GET); I know that CI get rid of $_GET function for security reasons. Just want to know how to get those values in easy as 123.
