are standard GET queries possible?

[eluser]SomeFunkyDude[/eluser]
I'm trying to install a jQuery autocomplete plugin, and one of the features is it sends an ajax call to a url using standard url query strings but CodeIgniter uses a segment approach.

Is there a way to parse a standard get query from the URL instead of using segments?

Search the forum, e.g. forums/viewreply/560442/.

I don't know this plugin, but couldn't you use a POST request instead?

Thanks, this worked

Code:

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