Hi folks,

I have a weirdness where I’m checking for the existence of a segment, and getting strange results. The url segment itself is empty, however when I output {segment_2} it displays an ampersand.

I’ve tried {if segment_2 == '&'} but no cigar.

I’m thinking this is definitely a .htaccess issue, since we get rid of index.php using Leevis .htaccess generator plugin.

Any ideas?

Cheers,

Wayde.

OK - have sussed problem.

It seems that this line in the .htaccess was the offender:

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

That little ampersand in there was showing up in segment_2. Since we have no query strings at all, I removed &%{QUERY_STRING} and problem solved.

Wayde:  I’m glad you got it working.  Don’t hesitate to post again should anything else come up!
