Can I send data to the controller using PHP URL vars? (using the "?" in the URL line)

Hello all,

I'm new to CodeIgniter and PHP in general. I'm trying to send data back to the controller from a view via an html anchor with the php "?". See below.

<a href="index.php?companyChoice=5">1346 Hudson</a>

Oddly, this works when I'm running it on my local machine(localhost) but when I run from a remote server it fails. I just get a blank page after clicking the link. The URL shows "http://my.site.org/index.php?companyChoice=7". It seems like only "http://my.site.org/index.php" displays a page.

When running this locally I can grab the companyChoice information in the controller using "$this->input->get('companyChoice');" and everything works fine.

If I can't do things this way then is there a better way to do it in CodeIgniter where this information can get passed to the controller when the user clicks on the link?

Thank you!
