<p>Like most other classes in CodeIgniter, the Trackback class is
initialized in your controller using the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">$this-&gt;load-&gt;library()</span></tt> method:</p>

<div class="section" id="receiving-trackbacks">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id4">Receiving Trackbacks</a><a class="headerlink" href="#receiving-trackbacks" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Before you can receive Trackbacks you must create a weblog. If you don&#8217;t
have a blog yet there&#8217;s no point in continuing.</p>
<p>Receiving Trackbacks is a little more complex than sending them, only
because you will need a database table in which to store them, and you
will need to validate the incoming trackback data. You are encouraged to
implement a thorough validation process to guard against spam and
duplicate data. You may also want to limit the number of Trackbacks you
allow from a particular IP within a given span of time to further
curtail spam. The process of receiving a Trackback is quite simple; the
validation is what takes most of the effort.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="your-ping-url">
<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id5">Your Ping URL</a><a class="headerlink" href="#your-ping-url" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>In order to accept Trackbacks you must display a Trackback URL next to
each one of your weblog entries. This will be the URL that people will
use to send you Trackbacks (we will refer to this as your &#8220;Ping URL&#8221;).</p>
<p>Your Ping URL must point to a controller function where your Trackback
receiving code is located, and the URL must contain the ID number for
each particular entry, so that when the Trackback is received you&#8217;ll be
able to associate it with a particular entry.</p>
<p>For example, if your controller class is called Trackback, and the
receiving function is called receive, your Ping URLs will look something
like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">http</span><span class="o">://</span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">trackback</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">receive</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">entry_id</span>
</pre></div>

<p>Where entry_id represents the individual ID number for each of your
entries.</p>

<h3><a class="toc-backref" href="#id6">Creating a Trackback Table</a><a class="headerlink" href="#creating-a-trackback-table" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h3>
<p>Before you can receive Trackbacks you must create a table in which to

<p>The Trackback specification only requires four pieces of information to
be sent in a Trackback (url, title, excerpt, blog_name), but to make
the data more useful we&#8217;ve added a few more fields in the above table
schema (date, IP address, etc.).</p>

<h4><a class="toc-backref" href="#id8">Notes:</a><a class="headerlink" href="#notes" title="Permalink to this headline"></a></h4>
<p>The entry ID number is expected in the third segment of your URL. This
is based on the URI example we gave earlier:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nx">http</span><span class="o">://</span><span class="nx">example</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">com</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">index</span><span class="o">.</span><span class="nx">php</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">trackback</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">receive</span><span class="o">/</span><span class="nx">entry_id</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Notice the entry_id is in the third URI segment, which you can retrieve
using:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">uri</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">segment</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="mi">3</span><span class="p">);</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In our Trackback receiving code above, if the third segment is missing,
we will issue an error. Without a valid entry ID, there&#8217;s no reason to
continue.</p>
<p>The $this-&gt;trackback-&gt;receive() function is simply a validation function
that looks at the incoming data and makes sure it contains the four
pieces of data that are required (url, title, excerpt, blog_name). It
returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure. If it fails you will issue
an error message.</p>
<p>The incoming Trackback data can be retrieved using this function:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">trackback</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">data</span><span class="p">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;item&#39;</span><span class="p">)</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>Where item represents one of these four pieces of info: url, title,
excerpt, or blog_name</p>
<p>If the Trackback data is successfully received, you will issue a success
message using:</p>
<div class="highlight-ci"><div class="highlight"><pre><span></span><span class="nv">$this</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">trackback</span><span class="o">-&gt;</span><span class="na">send_success</span><span class="p">();</span>
