Have Apache ignore GET variables

Anyway, you will have enough headaches with this.[/quote]

In the config file it states only change it if you know what you are doing, are there any security or "code" risks of adding in the ? char? I want all the URL helpers to continue to work and I don't want the GET vars to be used in any way (though I know the days of global vars are gone)[/quote]

I blame CI for this kind of thinking. $_GET is still as safe and as useful as it has always been. If you have such an issue with $_GET, then you should with $_POST and others.

What you should have an issue with is register globals where if you can "illegally" set variables.
