PHP $_GET is not populating with URL query parameters, from web browser

Question

I'm running into a strange issue where the $_GET (and $_REQUEST) variable is empty, even though the parameters are being passed.

My PHP code:

echo $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo print_r($_REQUEST);
echo print_r($_GET);

Output:

/service/getAllOrders?sortBy=date_created&sortDir=desc
Array()
Array()

I'm using nginx and forwarding all requests to index.php. My configuration is as follows:

server {
    listen       80;
    server_name  decaro.localhost;
    root       /Users/rweiss/Sites/decaro/LocalOrderWebsite;

   #access_log  /usr/local/etc/nginx/logs/default.access.log  main;

    location / {
        add_header Cache-Control "no-cache, no-store";
        include   /usr/local/etc/nginx/conf.d/php-fpm;
        try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php$args;
    }

    location /assets/ {
        allow all;
    }

    location = /info {
        allow   127.0.0.1;
        deny    all;
        rewrite (.*) /.info.php;
    }

    error_page  404     /404.html;
    error_page  403     /403.html;
}

Why?

The solution was to just pass the $query_string variable in nginx:

try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;

Thanks for all of your help.

Try to print out :

 echo $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'];

This is the GET data that is inserted to the Super Global $_GET in addition , i think that you should call to your script using this link :

www.yourdomain.com/service/getAllOrders.php?sortBy=date_created&sortDir=desc

Pay attention to the .php..

See what is at you query string before checking the $_GET , try to print using

 echo print_r($_GET,1);

I tried to print out query string, but it is also empty, and the print_r($_GET,1) also has an empty array. I updated the question with my nginx configuration.

Did you try with the .php ? i also compare your Nginx Conf from /etc/nginx/sites-enabled ( i hope its the same path ) . your root path should have root /Users/rweiss/Sites/decaro/LocalOrderWebsite with a / at end
