GET parameters in the URL with CodeIgniter

This function is identical to the post function, only it fetches get data:

$this->input->get()

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.
