I haven’t any personal problems with setting htaccess on my site (I feel like I’m in the minority of people who actually took time to, you know, learn about my web server) or with using $_GET when it made sense to. But the limitations of PATH_INFO and REQUEST_URI exist regardless.

In user interface design we stress having good defaults to lessen the chance of user error. API design is no different.

@Colin I agree that flexibility is always preferred, but that’s one of the great things about the CI framework. I personally prefer the absence of query strings (makes for cleaner urls), but thought I’d point you in the right direction. This thread in the CI Forums should get you on the right path: http://codeigniter.com/forums/viewthread/47107/

If you can ignore the back and forth bickering, it should get you what you need.

Some people (like me) have had to add QSA to the last line.

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

I actually think the way CodeIgniter relies on PATH_INFO and REQUEST_URI for clean URIs is one of its weaknesses. PATH_INFO is stripped of important characters (no spaces) by the server, and REQUEST_URI (and how CI parses it) rules out the chance to use query string values when necessary. I wish it defaulted to a single query string trigger, like ?q=controller/function/param1/param2.
