Mix normal URL's and standard query strings

It is!
I just spent half a day figuring it out.

First of all, be sure to download the latest version of CI 2.0 Reactor or at least check that line 52 in system/core/input.php reads:

$this->_allow_get_array = (config_item('allow_get_array') === TRUE);

Also check in config.php that you have:

$config['allow_get_array'] = TRUE;
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;

Then you should be able to read the query-string with:

$variable = $this->input->get( 'variable' );

or if you want XSS-filtering:

$variable = $this->input->get( 'variable', TRUE );

I you prefer to always do XSS-filtering set

$config['global_xss_filtering'] = TRUE;

in config.php

get() is part of the Input-class (http://ellislab.com/codeigniter/user-gui...input.html)


Good luck!
