Using QUERY_STRING on CI4 - lucky - 11-14-2020

How can I make CI 4 to use URLs like this:

http://mysite.com/index.php?page=home
http://mysite.com/index.php?page=mail
http://mysite.com/index.php?page=register
http://mysite.com/admin/index.php?page=users
http://mysite.com/admin/index.php?page=permissions
http://mysite.com/admin/index.php?page=permissions&c=1&t=5

I've tried setting on app/Config/App.php the following:

PHP Code:
public $uriProtocol = 'QUERY_STRING'; 

But I was not able to make this work. The url structure is not the same as CI 3

Before you could do something like this

http://mysite.com?c=controller&m=method&param1=x&param2=y

Is there any way to do this?

My first question would be, why would you even want to do this for the controllers and all the routing?

If you only want to get a value from the query string you can use getVar() or getGet():

PHP Code:
$something = $request->getVar('foo');
$something = $request->getGet('foo');

the other thing you might be missing is routes

default route is:

$routes->get('/', 'Home::index');

that means when someone goes to just domain , then what happens is defined in Controller Home and method inside Controller home called index.

You can have get and post requests eg

Code:
$routes->get('addProduct','Product::productAddForm');

$routes->post('addProduct','Product::addProductDo');

lines mean: ('url',' Controller Class::methodOfClass)

my first one means when admin goes to url domain.com/addProduct they get a form .Method productAddForm looks like

Code:
public function productAddForm()

          {

               $data = [

                        'title'  => 'add product ',

                        'date'=>$this->myDate,

                        'info'=>' '

                ];

                echo view('addProductForm',$data);

          }

forgot to mention this elelement of route:

Code:
$routes->get('blogArticle/(:segment)', 'Blog::showArticle/$1');

then in Controller

Code:
    public function showArticle($theSlug)

                    {

//to see value of $theSlug

echo $theSlug

I know it's not the most convenient thing, but I'm migrating an application and I need to change a lot of URLs. Being able to keep the current routing is the best option for me

What are you migrating from? An old version of CI of something else?

I never used this feature before and I'm not sure if it's still available in CI4.

The application is not based on CI3. It's a custom framework. So I was trying to avoid migrating something else.

PHP Code:
$uri    = $request->uri;
$result = $uri->getQuery(); 

Will give you it all.
