Query String Variables Exist, but $_GET is empty

Question

I've developed a website for a client on my development server, and pushed it to the production server. On both sites, the URL is something like http://www.siteurl.com/blogs/?m=09&y=2012

On the development server, if I var_dump($_GET), I get the values I expect.

On the production server, if I var_dump($_GET), I get an empty array.

I'd post the phpinfo() if it helps, I don't even know what settings could possibly cause this.

Thanks.

That's not the actual URL, just an example of what I was doing. I'd rather not post the actual URL. — LOLapalooza

Okay, I thought I would see your code there. Anyway, you are using and &, rather than &, which might affect the interpretation. — Sablefoste

Do you have any rewrite rules on one that aren't on the other? Total long shot. — Jonnix

@LOLapalooza - you might want to use 'example.com' for fake urls; it's more obvious it's an example (and guaranteed to be an invalid, since 'example.com' is reserved for this usage). — Spudley

I had the same issue.

See this forum discussion: http://forum.kohanaframework.org/discussion/734/_get-empty/p1

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

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

Add New Rule to .htaccess. It will works

RewriteRule ^[A-Za-z]+$ index.php?$1 [QSA,L]

I don't have that exactly, but something similar. My htaccess skills are not very good. What should I change here?

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /subdir/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /subdir/index.php [L] </IfModule>

As I was saying above, you need the QSA flag (read "query string append") to pass the query string to PHP:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /subdir/
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L,QSA]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /subdir/index.php [L,QSA]
</IfModule>
