Just to confirm, is this a reliable way to implement querystrings in CodeIgniter:
$config['uri_protocol'] = "PATH_INFO";
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
Are there any "gotchas" to watch out for? Is it reasonably secure?
It really is quite surprising that CodeIgniter does not support querystrings by default. I imagine that this deficiency alone is a show-stopper for many potential users. The fact is that while an individual developer may be able to avoid using GET, the web as a whole depends on it. GET is an extremely important aspect of web programming and totally proper to use. There is zero excuse for it not to be supported as a full-fledged member of a developer's arsenal.
EDIT: "GET" should be replaced with "querystring". Sorry for the confusion.
