Enable query string access only to select few Controller functions?

In few pages I need to make pagination. This of course can be achieved with URI segments, but in few cases in addition to pagination parameters, I need to pass some other GET parameters for filtering purposes.

So obviously in this case i need to be able access the controller via query string like so:

example.com/?c=controller&m=function

In order to achieve this I set the enable_query_strings to TRUE in main config file.

This seemed to work, but I discovered that it breaks a bunch of different stuff. For example if I use current_url() the URL returned has a ? at the end to accommodate the query string. So if I use it in form, it does not work.

So is there any way to enable the controller access to controller functions only to specified functions?

Instead of enabling enable_query_strings in main config, just enable in pagination config only. So it will apply to that particular page only.

Ex:

$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;

You can construct you url like this:

/param1/param2/pagination_parameters

So you will be able to send custom data (number of params), and pagination data using just URI segments.

For example if I use current_url() the URL returned has a ? at the end to accommodate the query string. So if I use it in form, it does not work.

Please note, that you can also left form 'action' blank, so result will be the same as if you had used current_url() (http request will go to the same script).
