$_GET empty
  • 4t24t2
    I rewrite the URLs with a rewrite rule like this:

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php?/$1 [L]


    It works fine but with this rule, I can't submit GET values to the script. $_GET is empty. If I change the rewrite rule to this:

    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]


    it works fine on my locale test server with Apache 2.x, but on my real server with Apache 1.3.x I get the error:

    No input file specified.

    What can I do?
  • LickLick
    Try removing the first slash.
  • 4t24t2
    This has no effect.

    To explain what's happening here, assume you have this rewrite rule:

    RewriteRule (.*) index.php?$1 [L]

    Now, assume you go to www.example.com/welcome/hello. The rewritten URL is www.example.com/index.php?welcome/hello. Using ?$1 routing replaces $_GET with the URI, which prevents it from being used for anything else. It is only recommended to use ?$1 routing when you *want* to disable $_GET.

    Okay. :( How about using the following?

    # Enable rewriting
RewriteEngine on

# Installation directory
RewriteBase /

# Allow these directories and files to be displayed directly:
# - index.php (DO NOT FORGET THIS!)
# - robots.txt
# - favicon.ico
# - Any file inside of the media/ directory
# - WordPress content/ directory
RewriteRule ^(index\.php|robots\.txt|favicon\.ico|media) - [PT,L]

# Protect application and system files from being viewed
RewriteRule ^(application|modules|system) - [F,L]

# Rewrite all other URLs to index.php/URL
RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

    It's a stripped version of the Kohana website's .htaccess.

    And what can I do to enable $_GET on my Apache 1.3.x server?

    Is your Apache 1.3.x server running PHP5?

  • 4t24t2
    Yes, PHP 5.2.5
  • shadowhandshadowhand

    This is from CI, but this is really a mod_rewrite / PHP-as-CGI issue: no input file specified.

  • 4t24t2
    You are right that is is mainly an PHP/Apache issue but it could solved with a modification of the core Router.php

    After this code in line 207 (kohana 2.1.2):

    elseif (count($_GET) === 1 AND current($_GET) == '' AND substr($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], -1) !== '=')
    {
    …
    }


    I add this additional elseif:

    elseif (count($_GET) > 1 AND current($_GET) == '')
    {
    	self::$current_uri = key($_GET);

    	// Fixes really strange handling of a suffix in a GET string
    	if ($suffix = Config::item('core.url_suffix') AND substr(self::$current_uri, -(strlen($suffix))) === '_'.substr($suffix, 1))
    	{
    		self::$current_uri = substr(self::$current_uri, 0, -(strlen($suffix)));
    	}

    }


    This is the rewrite rule:

    RewriteRule ^$ index.php [PT,L,QSA]
    RewriteRule .* index.php?/$0 [PT,L,QSA]


    Now it works fine on both servers and $_GET is available.

    I had the same issue.

    Solved replacing this:
    RewriteRule .* index.php/$0 [PT,L]

    for this:
    RewriteRule .* index.php?$0 [PT,L]
