Hi

I have an odd thing happening, when passing across data with GET variables. If I use only one variable I get a 404 occurring, however, when I pass 2 or more, I get to the page I want.

For example:

http://mysite.com/products/compare?product_1=43

Results in a 404. However:

http://mysite.com/products/compare?product_1=43&product_2=21

Displays my compare page perfectly…

Any idea on why this may be happening?

Thanks.

Are you using EE2 or EE1? Could you let me know what version…? I’m able to reproduce this in EE 2.1.1 - it actually solves a problem I had which was that I couldn’t get query-string variables to work at all - it seems the solution is to pass more than one in the URL! :!

EE 2.1.1

I worked out the same solution, but it’s more of a workaround.

Yea, not ideal… but you can make it look tidy by doing something like:

/myurl/entry_id/?qs=true&myvariable=thisisabitinsane

Hi, Lee. It does sound like a bug. I asked Nathan in an earlier thread to post a bug report..

Thanks Sue. Will use Nathans approach in the meantime.

Very good. Please post again in case there’s anything else.

Lee and Nathan,

Don’t believe its a bug.

Open up your config file system/expressionengine/config/config.php

and change

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'AUTO';

to

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'PATH_INFO';

Does that work for you?

I’m experiencing the same issue and I have

$config['uri_protocol']    = 'PATH_INFO';

set.

Hi, Nate —

If you try QUERY_STRING there, does that help?
