GET parameters in the URL with CodeIgniter

Question

I know that codeIgniter turns off GET parameters by default    But by having everything done in POST  don t you get annoyed by the re-send data requests if  ever you press back after a form submission   It annoys me  but I m not sure if I want to allow GET purely for this reason   Is it such a big security issue to allow GET parameters too

You can Try this    this- gt uri- gt segment

A little bit out of topic  but I was looking for a get function in CodeIgniter just to pass some variables between controllers and come across Flashdata    see   http   codeigniter com user guide libraries sessions html   Flashdata allows you to create a quick session data that will only be available for the next server request  and are then automatically cleared

User · Answer

This function is identical to the post function  only it fetches get data    this- gt input- gt get     https   www codeigniter com user guide libraries input html

Do this below  Worked for me  I took values from a select box and another textbox  Then on button click I took the entire data in Javascript function and redirected using javascript     Search Form   document  ready  function             searchbtn   click function showAlert e           e preventDefault            var cat       category   val            var srch       srch   val             if srch                   alert  Search is empty                         else              var url   baseurl  categories search   cat     srch                          window location href url                          The above code worked for me

GET parameters are cached by the web browser  POST is not   So with a POST you don t have to worry about caching  so that is why it is usually prefered

Now it works ok from CodeIgniter 2 1 0        By default CodeIgniter enables access to the   GET array   If for some       reason you would like to disable it  set  allow get array  to FALSE    config  allow get array          TRUE

You can enable query strings if you really insist  In your config php you can enable query strings    config  enable query strings     TRUE    For more info you can look at the bottom of this Wiki page   http   codeigniter com user guide general urls html  Still  learning to work with clean urls is a better suggestion

User · Answer

don t you get annoyed by the re-send data requests if ever you press back after a form submission   you can get around this by doing a redirect from the page that processes your form submission to the success page  the last  action  was the loading of the success page  not the form submission  which means if users do an F5 it will just reload that page and not submit the form again

User · Answer

When I first started working with CodeIgniter  not using GET really threw me off as well  But then I realized that you can simulate GET parameters by manipulating the URI using the built-in URI Class  It s fantastic and it makes your URLs look better   Or if you really need GETs working you can put this into your controller   parse str   SERVER  QUERY STRING      GET      Which will put the variables back into the GET array
