PHP Query string present, but empty GET

Question

On my site, one of my pages when loaded never contains a GET value.

The beginning of the script is:

print_r($_GET);
print_r($_SERVER);

For $_SERVER I get:

REQUEST_URI => /dir/sub_dir/script_name/?s=30&v=20
QUERY_STRING =>

and for $_GET I just have: Array ( )

This doesn't seem to be a problem for any other page.

What could be causing this?

I have a few quick questions: do you have any .htaccess URL rewriting taking place? Is the script being included from another script? What happens if you access the script with as /dir/sub_dir/index.php?s=30&v=20? — Mr. Llama

My first thought would be that you are using url rewrite to route pages to scripts and are missing the QSA flag in the RewriteRule. QSA="query string append". Meaning that any additional get string passed is also added to the url rewrite. — Jonathan Kuhn

Are you using a framework? This happens a lot with MVC frameworks, including CakePHP. — Kayla

@GigaWatt, I edited my question, I left out the part of the script_name which is included in the query. It is not an index page, but the URL is re-written via .htaccess to remove .php and add /. Sorry for not mentioning that. I use the same rewriting rules for other scripts without problems. — Reed

I had my .htaccess files locally deleted and I forgot that in one of the sub directories, I did have a .htaccess with some deny/allow rules and that for was breaking the GET but everything else was loading. Deleting the .htaccess (or fixing it to allow properly) made the GET values start working again.
