n00b:How to enable query string AND have clean URLs?

[eluser]Unknown[/eluser]
Hi there

Just started with CI today and I'm really impressed so far. I've been using CakePHP for a while now, but I'm thinking of switching to CI due to it's small footprint and fast execution. I'm thinking of using CI as a backbone for a Facebook application I'm writing, so speed is key.

Because I'm writing for Facebook, I need to enable query strings in CI. I know I can just do:

Code:

$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

But, ideally I'd also like to have nice clean URLs enabled, so, for example I need to have URLs like...

Code:

/about?fb_sig_session_key=<fb_sig_session_key>

which would be handled by the index() function in my About controller.

Currently though, a request like this generates a 404 page.

Is there any way to get this working in CI?

Many thanks,
Steve

yes, in the 8th post below yours: URL query string :roll:

Got it, thanks!

So, I changed my config.php as follows:

Code:

$config['uri_protocol']    = "PATH_INFO";
// ...
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
