Escape ? in URL - El Forum - 05-28-2009

Hi everybody,
I got a problem, I'm trying to use phpcas in CodeIgniter and I'm struggling with the way phpcas uses tickets with $_GET variables.
After I connected, CAS server redirects me on my page with the kind of URL :
.../index.php/login/auth?ticket=ST-55743-Tj9b7bRHNzPI9fQRPNXHwkDtDfgyVIucKjD-20
Unfortunately, CodeIgniter returns me an error 404 because of the question mark.
I don't have access to CAS server so I'm compelled to deal with this kind of URL.
I tried to add a slash after "auth" in my url so that "?ticket=ST-..." can be considered as a parameter in my url but the question mark remains a problem.
Does anybody know a way to solve my problem?

Hi jerry_ and welcome to the CI forums.
Have you read [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html"]this bit of the CI user guide[/url] - it talks about turning query strings back on, so it can handle the ? and & stuff you get from those other legacy apps.

Addenda - just re-read, and might have missed the mark a bit.
You may want to play with [url="http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/routing.html"]routing[/url] instead. I'm not a routing guru, but what you want to do shouldn't be too tricky.
Perhaps something like (and this is very much untested - I really don't use routes myself)
Code:
$route['login/auth?:any'] = "login/auth/$1";Escape ? in URL - El Forum - 05-28-2009

if you set the uri_protocol to PATH_INFO/ORIG_PATH_INFO/REQUEST_URI the router class will not see the query string.
To get a value from the query string you have to add following to your method
Code:
parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], $_GET);Escape ? in URL - El Forum - 05-28-2009

Quote:This is because CI clears the GET global.
Only if $config['enable_query_strings'] is set to FALSE. The first time I ran into an issue where I needed $_GET values, I intuitively set it to TRUE and voila.

Thanks for your answers.
I've finally solve my problem using Jamie Rumbelow's solution here.

Jamie's solution is a weird one i think because first the allow_get_array class variable gets set making the enable_query_strings config setting almost dead and then it sets the uri_protocol so it can't spot the query string, on top of that the question mark gets added to the permitted_uri_chars config setting.
Colin is right the GET global only gets cleared when the enable_query_strings is set to false but setting it to true it makes it possible to reach the same page using two url forms; http://site.com/index.php/controller/method and http://site.com/index.php?c=controller&m=method. if people use both of the forms this will affect the pagerank.
