In codeigniter, How to get the token returned from google login as parameter to controller?
Question by kamal
I am working with AuthSub to view portfolios of google finance api on codeigniter framework.
after successful login of google it redirects to the url we provide.
I have provided url like: www.finance.mysite.com/google/token/
google will append its token like:
www.finance.mysite.com/google/token/?token=1/gyXbtvKT4XaIuUIhEBAsuxyDgATMDk3ztAG3MocNkKI
How can I get it inside a function token() inside google controller.

Just extract the token, and route it to controller of your choice.
You can extract the params like this
$params = "http://www.finance.mysite.com/google/token/?token=1/gyXbtvKT4XaIuUIhEBAsuxyDgATMDk3ztAG3MocNkKI";
$parsed = parse_url($params);
$pieces = explode("=", $parsed['query']);
$searchIndex = array_search("token", $pieces);
if($searchIndex) {
$token = $pieces[$searchIndex+1];
//now use it as you need
redirect("controller/google/$token");
}
Note: The code above will only work, if there is only single parameter on the url, or else not.
