Empty _GET array - unable to retrieve a 'get' variable

Ugh.. I can see the error with your .htaccess right away

Code:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond $1 !^(index\.php|images|robots\.txt|css/styles\.css)
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]

You have RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1... see the index.php?/$1? Your rewrite is passing the whole path as a query string key. Just drop the ? Do RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L] instead.

Also, your third RewriteCond COMPLETELY NEGATES the previous two RewriteConds
