Passing variables in the query string with EE2
Development and Programming
Hi,
I’m having a pretty of trouble with a query string Expression Engine 2. I have a newsletter sign up form with a field for email address dotted around a website. When you enter your address into this field and submit the form it passes it to the register form, which then uses the EE php class to retrieve it and prefill field on the register page.
This worked fine in EE 1 but since upgrading I can’t get any page to load with a query string attached.
/register will load just fine, but /register?email=something or any other get variables will just load the homepage.
Is this some sort of security feature I can disable?
Thanks a lot, Stephen
I figured out that I could do this with a POST method on the form instead, but would still be curious do know if GET requests and query strings are possible.
Thanks, Stephen
Yep, you just need to change the uri_protocol in your config file.
It lists a few options, but if it worked in 1.6 then PATH_INFO is the most likely candidate.
