MediaWiki/archive/extensions/Special/LogPost

Overview

Special:LogPost is a MediaWiki extension which displays and logs any data sent to it via HTTP POST. It was written primarily for capturing sample data from PayPal Instant Payment Notification, but could also be useful in any other situation where POSTed data needs to be checked.

Code

<php> /*

NAME: SpecialMakePage
PURPOSE: Special page for creating a new page from a form

Other extensions can do this, but they don't make it at all easy to base the title on variables which are substituted from fields on the form.

AUTHOR: Woozle Staddon
VERSION:

2008-12-31 0.0 (Wzl) Writing started - using SpecialMakePage as a skeleton 2009-01-02 1.0 (Wzl) It does what I need it to do; no need to start with small version numbers...
