sending GET parameter to controller index function - El Forum - 09-25-2008

Hi, I'm new in CI. I got no idea if there is any possibility to send GET parameter or GET variables to controllers index function except index.php/controller/index/parameter. Is it somehow possible to eliminate that "index" segment?
I am looking for some possibility of nonproblematical GETing parameters to any functions of any controller.

sending URL's via GET is quite tricky. I have used sessions to avoid this in CI.

Assuming you are using path segments for controller routing; you can put GET variables back into the $_GET array with with this command in your controller:
Code:
parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET);For this to work the app's main config must be set explicitly to:
Code:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";Then simply add ?... parameters to your URL or set a form that calls your controller to type GET.

I think azbest208 is trying to send URI segment parameters to the controller without the URI /controller/index/param1. To do that add a new route in config/routes.php.
Code:
$route['controller/(:num)'] = "controller/index/$1";Otherwise if you just want to enabled $_GET over the entire site and allow ?param1=whatever, then read the post [SOLVED] How to use URI Segments and Query Strings in the same project.
