Hi Ethan,

Yes, I'm in fact using it with codeigniter2.

It's very easy, just put the library in your libraries directory and use it in your controllers with the following sample code :

class Notifications extends CI_controller {

    function inbound()
    {
        include(APPPATH.'libraries/postmark_inbound.php');
        $inbound =  New PostmarkInbound(file_get_contents('php://input'));
           //code store $inbound->subject() in the DB for example
    }

}

So in postmark administration you can now give this url : http://myapp.com/notifications/inbound

        $this->load->model('site_model','site');
    }

    function send(){
        $this->site->get_related_media_for_sponsors();

        echo "everyone successfully received their emails";
    }

    function news(){
        //$this->site->send_the_newsletter($_POST['plain']);

        //$this->db->insert('children',array('first_name' => $_POST['plain']));

        $this->site->send_the_newsletter($_POST['plain']);
    }

    function postmark(){

        include(APPPATH.'libraries/postmark_inbound.php');
        $inbound = New PostmarkInbound(file_get_contents('php://input'));

    }
}

ok, I see the problem, in fact it raises an exception because you are directly accessing the controller but you don't provide any json, if you use a code like the following you will see the exception :

<?php

class Cron extends CI_Controller {

    function __construct(){
        parent::__construct();
    }

    function postmark(){
        include(APPPATH.'libraries/postmark_inbound.php');
        try {
            $inbound = New PostmarkInbound(file_get_contents('php://input'));
        }
        catch (Exception $e) {
            echo $e->getMessage();
        }
    }
}

This library is designed to get the content of a page where postmark send the json, if you want to test it locally use the json in the fixtures directory.
