Query string - El Forum - 08-16-2010

[eluser]Philo01[/eluser]
Hi there!

I have a problem.
I am currently building a webshop using CodeIgniter and the payment gateway returns a query string on successful payment like:

(Using mod_rewrite for .html)
Code:
http://www.mydomain.com/order/paid.html?transaction_id=a1b2c3

I would like it to be like:
Code:
http://www.mydomain.com/order/paid/a1b2c3.html

This is an invalid url for CI, and I don't want to enable the query string option.
Does anyone know a solution for this? Maybe with .htaccess?

Thanks!

You could make a simple script:
Code:
// redirection from payment gateway
$transaction_id = $_GET['transaction_id'];
header('Location: http://www.mydomain.com/order/paid/' . $transaction_id . '.html');
Put this script in a location outside CI, for instance in a /scripts folder in your web root.
Set your payment gateway to refer to this script (e.g. www.mydomain.com/scripts/paid.php).
That's it. The simple php script redirects to your CI script.

Also, it is not very difficult to let CI accept $_GET variables and then you could just have the payment gateway send their response directly to your CI page.

Nice one! Thanks! Smile

You're welcome.
It's not the most elegant solution (as would be keeping everything inside CI) but sometimes it's just easy to build a very simple thing, I think.

Why not
Code:
<?php
/**
* This extension ensures GET data is not erased
*/
class MY_Input extends CI_Input
{
    function _sanitize_globals()
    {
        $this->allow_get_array = TRUE;
        parent::_sanitize_globals();
    }
}

Which allows you to use $_GET['transaction_id'], and it saves you a redirect.
