INPUT CLASS destroys global get?

noted and very true. I lean on regex's too much sometimes. (in my case I am usually only looking for one value) thanks

[quote author="xwero" date="1239405316"]judico doing a preg_match for every value you have to get is more expensive than parsing the query string once and putting it in a variable, it doesn't have to be the get global.[/quote]

You don't have an example of parsing the query string once do you?

Thanks

xwero

for a get request something like http://www.example.com/sample?txt=foo&cat=bar
the sample in cited in #7

Code:

parse_str($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'],$_GET); #from response #7
print_r($_GET);

yields

Array ( [/sample] => )

whereas something like this

Code:

$keys = explode('?', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if(count($keys) == 2){
    print_r(explode('&', $keys[1]));
}

yields

Array ( [0] => txt=foo [1] => cat=bar )

is there something environmental like a config setting that makes your snippet yield something similar?
what's the best practice here for this type of situation?
thanks

it's strange the server query string fetches a path segment? I used the snippet on different servers and i haven't had problems yet.

The uri_protocol shouldn't be auto but i don't see how that could cause the problem as the server global is not related to CI.

ok xwero thanks for your reply.

the emergent behavior has to do with url rewriting.

http://www.example.com/index.php/sample?txt=foo&cat=bar
#note the index.php is included on this one

yields

txt=foo&cat=bar

using your method from response #7

I set up url rewrite with this http://codeigniter.com/wiki/mod_rewrite/
