Need help on URL and search - El Forum - 07-13-2008
[eluser]cbmeeks[/eluser]
I'm looking to run a small search engine on my site.
Anyway, I want the user to simply type some words in a search box and click submit. The action form is set to GET instead of POST.
This makes the URL look like:
example.com/search/q?search=amiga+computers
My problem is that I can't seem to get my function "q" that is in my "search" controller to grab the search string "amiga+computers".
I imagine it's because I don't have query strings enabled.
I would settle for something like:
example.com/search/q/amiga+computers
But how do I get my input html to send the data like that? Is URL routing my answer?
Thanks!

In your config, enable query strings and set the default uri protocol to "PATH_INFO", like this:
Code:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";That way you can use both, segment based uri and query strings without "hacking" CI.

You are my hero.
You CI guys rock. I will remember you all when I get rich for my web idea.
You see, I am writing a killer website that monitors the mood swing of cats while streaming the results to Twitter. I wear flip-flops and come into work at 2:30pm.
HAHAHA
Seriously, thanks again.

Ok, in that case I'll save this post to claim my 10% of the company once you go public

lol.
I actually hope to release something this week. CI has literally made it a possibility to release version 0.001 of my "product" in a weekend's worth of time.
I will announce it on the forums later. It's nothing fancy. Just a simple search engine based on BOSS. More of an experiment than anything else.
