Question

Please take a look at the following code in a controller named “test”:

$this->load->library('pagination');

// These 3 are the minimum config that needs to be set
$config['base_url']   = base_url() . 'test/?' . http_build_query($_GET, '', '&');
$config['total_rows'] = 173;
$config['per_page']   = 20;

// This returns something like this: ?name=foo/20
// I would expect something like this: ?name=foo&per_page=20
// $config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;

// This retuns something like this: ?name=foo&per_page=20 (which is what I want),
// but the documentation says it should be: ?c=test&m=index&per_page=20
$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;

$this->pagination->initialize($config);
echo $this->pagination->create_links();

Then go to: test/?name=foo

The resulting pagination links look correct. When you click on, say, link number “2”, you are redirected to ?name=foo&per_page=20 which is correct. However, the new pagination created looks wrong. It looks something like this: ?name=foo&per_page=20&per_page=40 (where per_page appears twice in the query string).

What’s going on?
