Hello everyone I'm relatively new to October, and some parts are really intuitive which is great. Today I am really stuck with a task that I cannot seem to progress with.

I have a third party payment being processed and it returns to me with a url that contains some queries, e.g. http://www.mysite.com/response-page?orderid=789&status=1&anothervar=567

I would simply like to get the parameters and use them in my page. I've tried using some of the helper functions like

$value = get('orderid')

And the examples on this page: https://octobercms.com/docs/services/request-input

But I simply cannot access these parameters. Does anybody have any advice for me?

thanks Nikki

Hi did you try it with the Request Facade?

$value = Request::input('orderid');

Hi Crazymodder Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately I have tried that too and no luck! I've tried fvarious:

   $value = Request::get('orderid');

  $value = Input::get('orderid');

It seems simple, and I know how to achieve it in plain PHP with $_GET. I wonder if I've totally got the wrong approach. Is there any other way to achieve getting this data from the url?

This might be helpful -> http://octobercms.com/forum/post/getting-params-from-url

@nikki15963,

Does input('orderid') work? If not can you please post some code of your controller?

Hi This is the code I've got... it's on a page that receives a direct HTTP request from Barclaycard after a successful transaction.

The first part of this code successfully writes JSON of the request as key:value pairs into the Event log in the backend.

The next part looks for a parameter called 'COMPLUS' and this is where I just cannot fathom why it's not writing to my Orders table on execution.

    use Feegleweb\Octoshop\Models\Order;
   use Feegleweb\Octoshop\Models\Product;
   use Feegleweb\Octoshop\Classes\Currency;
   use System\Models\EventLog;

   function onStart() {

        // ---------------------------------------
        // save IN to events
        $eventLog = new EventLog();
        $data = array();
        $data["name"] = "Payment Response";
        $data["post"] = post();
        $eventLog->message = json_encode($data);
        $eventLog->save();
        // ---------------------------------------   

            $token = post("COMPLUS");

            $order = Order::where("barclays_token",$token)->orderBy("id","desc")->first();

            if ($order != null) {

                // create date payTO for order
                $payTo = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime("now +1 years"));

                    if ($order->is_paid==0) {

                        $order->barclays_txn_id = post("PAYID");
                        $order->is_paid = 1;
                        $order->barclays_date_of_payment = date("Y-m-d H:i:s",strtotime("now"));
                        $order->barclays_paid_to = $payTo;

                        $order->save();
                    }
            }
      }

Any advice would be so appreciated!
