CI4 controller can't 'see' a GET parameter

getVar() pulls from $_REQUEST.  Try dumping out your $_GET and $_REQUEST vars to see what shows up. I don't know of a reason it wouldn't show up in the REQUEST object of the top of my head.

Also, as dropwinston said, you can use $this->request->getGet('title') when you know it's coming from $_GET.

ahh... there is progress. Dumping $_REQUEST gives me:


array(3) { ["//news/create?title"]=> string(12) "lkjhlkjhlkjh" ["body"]=> string(16) "4353425435342543" ["submit"]=> string(16) "Create news item" } lkjhlkjhlkjh

Ok, not seen that before. Why is the whole uri there for title?
