the $_GET method

How can i get variables from the url like the $_GET method?

I can't find anything in the user guide on how to pull variables and i get errors if i try to use the $_GET method in the controller.

Thanks for any feedback.

The security filtering function is called automatically when a new controller is invoked. It does the following:

* Destroys the global GET array. Since CodeIgniter does not utilize GET strings, there is no reason to allow it.
* Destroys all global variables in the event register_globals is turned on.
* Filters the POST/COOKIE array keys, permitting only alpha-numeric (and a few other) characters.
* Provides XSS (Cross-site Scripting Hacks) filtering. This can be enabled globally, or upon request.
* Standardizes newline characters to \n

If you are using XMLHTTPRequest, you can always just send them over as POST. Also you can use segment to get info from the url.
