How to $_GET on Paypal success transaction

[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=123...am4=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.

Hope that you can help me

Thanks

You should use post instead of get (which you can enable when you send the values to paypal) then when paypal hits your IPN url you can simply save the $_POST (write the results of print_r to a file) array to see what values are passed back.

ok thanks, i got it.

I also plan to create a new php file and populate the $_GET function and convert it to URI so that it would be easier for CI to get the parameters.

Why? Do you have to use $_GET for something?
