HTTP GET - parsing query params using code igniter - El Forum - 02-27-2010

[eluser]contact_kram[/eluser]
I would like codeigniter to parse a HTTP GET request with one or more parameters. For example, http://my-devhost/classname/methodname?abc=123

I now get a 404 error when I attempt to do that. From reading a few documents online, I believe that GET is not enabled in codeigniter. Any one here has any experience in parsing HTTP GET arguments in codeigniter?

Thank you, -k

You must use the

Code:
http://my-devhost/classname/methodname/123

and in your controller your method will be

Code:
function methodname($abc = '')

{

 echo 'abc -> ' . $abc;

}

Unfortunately that will not work for me. To provide more details, I am writing a web application to download pictures from Flickr. Flickr will redirect my initial authentication request to my callback URI with a parameter appended to the my callback URI.

So, if my callback URI was http://my-devhost/classname/methodname, flickr will append abc=123 argument to the callback URI. Essentially, I do not have any control over the URI generation.

I have this working in my non-codeigniter framework. But I would love to port the code over to codeigniter. I am sure this is solvable but being new to codeigniter, I am not sure how.

Thank you,

You can see here http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html about Enabling Query Strings
or you may can do something with extending the Router library.
If I find something, I 'll post it, but now its time(3.30a.m.here) to sleep.

Hi,
try go to config file and change the

Code:
$config['uri_protocol']    = "AUTO";

with

Code:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";

and also set

Code:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

and now if for example
have the url

Code:
site/controller_name/method/arg1/arg2?abc=fdfd

you can use in your controller the

Code:
$_GET['abc']

to get the abc value
