Can I use the normal URL variables structure with CodeIgniter? - El Forum - 05-20-2008

I've been using CodeIgniter for a while, and I noticed that the way it passes the variables in the URL is not flexible at all, and requires extra coding at many parts of the program.
So, is there a way to have some sort of hybrid? something where I can pass variables like this:
Code:
http://example.com/index.php/controller/function/?var1=5&var2=10If not, then can I just use the original method? if so, then how does it work within CodeIgniter?

Hi KeyStroke,
You can use the original query strings by enabling enable_query_strings option in application/config/config.php.
In addition take a look at:

you've got two options,
1. turn on query strings - http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/general/urls.html
2. pass those parameters as uri segments - http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-guide/libraries/uri.html
personally I'd go for the segments method.

Thanks guys. That will be pretty useful.

If you want to pass things from a form via GET parameters into your app then you can use JavaScript to create the form action URL so it corresponds to the uri segments. Just make a javascript function that is called on the forms onSubmit and that sets location.href for the form, ie
onSubmit="location.href = getSearchFormLocation(); return false;"
In the function do something like:
if (form.myField.value != "") location = "/myFieldName/"+form.myField.value;
Works like a charm.

I'll use the segment method, better look for the url
