Period changed to underscore

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
I just ran into this issue. It's pretty simple actually. If you are using friendly URLs, which you likely are, then you may go 2 routes in your .htaccess: index.php/something or index.php?/something. If you use the first, without the ?, it should work with AUTO or REQUEST_URI, if you use the second, it should work with QUERY_STRING. Personally, I wouldn't use the second, because it's in PHP's functionality to replace your dots (and more) with underscores.

In my case, I was using BOTH in my htaccess, a different one for each module in HMVC. It was pretty confusing at first, haha

Code:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)admin(.*)$ index.php?/admin/$2 [L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php/blog/$1 [L]

One a query, the other not = problem.
