I have a little php script which dynamically creates the main menu with the files under the home page hierarchy. `<?php foreach($this->find("/")->children() as \$menu): ?> <li> <?php echo $menu->link($menu->title, (in_array($menu->slug, $this->url) ? "class=\"active\"": "class=\"menu\"")); ?> </li> <?php endforeach; ?>` When I click on a link from the menu, it adds the famous “?”. Example www.mydomain.com/?contact.html Is there anything I can do to not have the “?”. In the admin section I always get the ‘?’… example www.mydomain.com/admin/?/page I have done this with frog 0.9.3 and it’s okay but with version 0.9.5 I get this problem. Thank you

I have resolved this and am posting in case it helps anyone else, I commented out a couple of lines in htaccess, the new version below. Also – I am not sure if this made any difference but someone told me magic quotes can be tricky on shared hosting so I put a php.ini in every directory with this as the contents: magic_quotes_gpc = Off magic_quotes_runtime = Off magic_quotes_sybase = Off This is .htaccess `# # Setting Frog requirements #` `#php_flag magic_quotes_gpc off #AddDefaultCharset UTF-8 #Options -Indexes +FollowSymLinks` `# # Setting rewrite rules #` `<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On # Set next line to your Frog root - if not in subdir, then just / RewriteBase /` `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l # Administration URL rewriting. RewriteRule ^admin(.)$ admin/index.php?$1 [L,QSA]` `RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l # Main URL rewriting. RewriteRule ^(.)$ index.php?PAGE=$1 [L,QSA]` `</IfModule>`
