How to get controller and methods from $_REQUEST['url] ?

[gintare]

I need to get url from REQUEST. Below is the example of index.php where i try to print request,post and get - all of them are empty.
I have tried this on my computer with Bitnami WAMP and in remote server (Arvixe). Because it does not work on the remote server, maybe the reason is in .htaccess? Where else could be the reason that REQUEST['url'] is not working?

C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.20-0\apache2\htdocs\www\Plan2own\public\index.php

   <?php
    error_reporting(E_ALL);
    //phpinfo();
    echo'<br> index.php   _GET  = **', var_dump( $_GET  ), '**';  
    echo'<br> index.php   _POST  = **', var_dump( $_POST  ), '**';  
    echo'<br> index.php GLOBALS[_REQUEST]  = **', var_dump($GLOBALS['_REQUEST']) , '**'; 
    echo'<br> index.php   _REQUEST  = **', var_dump( $_REQUEST  ), '**';
echo'<br> index.php   _REQUEST[url]  = **', var_dump( $_REQUEST['url']  ), '**'; 
echo'<br> index.php   _GET[url]  = **', var_dump( $_GET['url']  ), '**';  
echo'<br> index.php   _POST[url]  = **', var_dump( $_POST['url']  ), '**'; 

C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.20-0\apache2\htdocs\www\Plan2own\public\.htaccess

    Options -MultiViews
    Options -Indexes
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteBase C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.20-0/apache2/htdocs/www/Plan2own/public
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} ^$
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{ENV:REQUEST_FILENAME} !-l
    RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]
 

For example, using url http://plan2own/index.php/home i am getting the following results and empty url.

index.php _GET = **array(0) { } **
index.php _POST = **array(0) { } **
index.php GLOBALS[_REQUEST] = **array(0) { } **
index.php _REQUEST = **array(0) { } **
index.php _REQUEST[url] = **NULL **
index.php _GET[url] = **NULL **
index.php _POST[url] = **NULL **

For example, using url http://plan2own/index.php?a=b i am getting empty url.
index.php _GET = **array(1) { ["a"]=> string(1) "b" } **
index.php _POST = **array(0) { } **
index.php GLOBALS[_REQUEST] = **array(1) { ["a"]=> string(1) "b" } **
index.php _REQUEST = **array(1) { ["a"]=> string(1) "b" } **
index.php _REQUEST[url] = **NULL **
index.php _GET[url] = **NULL **
index.php _POST[url] = **NULL **

The idea is that i should get home from http://plan2own/index.php/home , i.e. i should get controller and methods.

I read `http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5701588/why-is-request-empty` (a) commenting out auto_globals_jit in php.ini and restarting apache did not help; (b) request_oder and variable_order in php.ini are correct in my case.

I am checking the correct php.ini file, which i can see using phpinfor(); in "Loaded Configuration File" line.

Finally, managed to get url in order to extract controller and method parameters using example from to get url for subsequent analysis in order to extract controller and method paramters using example from
http://code.tutsplus.com/tutorials/u...urls--net-6049

1) In C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.20-0\apache2\htdocs\www\Plan2own\public\.htaccess
change RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L] to

RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php?/$1 [L]

2) which redirects url to index.php and when one can analyze it using the code below.

// C:\Bitnami\wampstack-5.6.20-0\apache2\htdocs\www\Plan2own\public\index.php 
$request  = str_replace("/Plan2own/public/index.php/", "", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
 echo'<br> index.php   request  = **', var_dump( $request  ), '**'; 

For url

 http://www.domain.com/public/index.php/home/some

The result is

index.php request = **string(9) "home/some" **

p.s. I could not get $_REQUEST['url'], because for some reason .htaccess command

 RewriteRule ^(.+)$ index.php?url=$1 [QSA,L]

, which was working on Linux, is not working in Arvixe and Bitnami WAMP.
