Possible to accept $_POST data from non CI form? [solved] - El Forum - 07-12-2007

Hello,
I am trying to integrate my CI application with my merchant account. In order to complete the transaction and update my customer's account (in CI) I need to post the result data from their API to my CI application.
So basically, I am trying to post standard $_POST data from outside of CI to my CI application where it is parsed and updates the user's account.
The api posts to a url formatted like this: http://domain.com/index.php/payments/updateaccount
is this possible?

Yes, in the normal way. $_POST is defined in your CI app. Or you can use $this->input->post();

Indeed, CI has no involvement with the way post works. It can come from anywhere and you can still use the $this->input->post(); function.

Hi guys,
Thanks for your feedback. I am glad to hear that CI can do this. Here is my next issue then, I'm submitting a plain html form to test posting to my script (which will update the user's account).
Here is the url to the test form:
http://aaronlovelace.com/test.html
When you submit, it appears to send the data to the url it's coming from, not the CI application.
I get a 404 not found and the address bar shows:
Code:

You want your form to be posting using method="post". It appears you've using method="get" or not specifying the method in your <form> tag.

Oh DUH!!!! I can't believe I overlooked that. Thanks for finding that for me. It looks like I was using action="post" instead of method="post".
