Problem: Passing value in URL query string

[eluser]carvingCode[/eluser]
How do I send data to a control function from the URL?

I want to send 1 piece of data to a function, telling it that it is being run remotely. The function then will do it's thing, but not write output to browser or change views as it does when run from a menu.

In my tests, I've placed '?remote=TRUE' in the URL.

Code:

a href=\"".base_url()."upload_ctrl/get_daily_update_file?remote=TRUE\">Process daily file</a>

This has created a '404 Page Not Found' error. (Link without '?remote=TRUE' works fine.) My function contains a statement to grab the $_POST value:

Code:

$remote = $_POST['remote'];

And the function is set to receive the value:

Code:

function get_daily_update_file($remote = FALSE)

Any help greatly appreciated. (I have searched the docs, but couldn't find a proper solution.)

TIA

You need to enable query strings and change the value of uri_protocol in config.php.

Actually, by using the url upload_ctrl/get_daily_update_file/true your controller method already has the value in the variable $remote. If you method has got parameters, the URI segments after the method name will be stored in these automatically.

Thanks. Yes, indeed. This works fine.
