# Breaking: #93041 - Remove TypoScript option addQueryString.method {#breaking-93041}

See [forge#93041](https://forge.typo3.org/issues/93041)

## Description {#description}

The TypoScript option `addQueryString.method` has been removed.

If omitted, this added all parameters from the PHP `$_SERVER[QUERY_STRING]`
value, which was used heavily in PHP 3 / PHP 4 times, instead of the more
"modern" `$_GET` parameters, which was set via `addQueryString.method = GET`.

However, the latter solution was / is the default for working in PSR-7
requests, and with routing. The option itself is removed, in order to
have TYPO3 use the same values throughout TYPO3 Core, making `method = GET`
the default and thus, the only option.

To further streamline TYPO3s source code, the underlying PHP method
`ContentObjectRenderer->getQueryArguments()` now only accepts exactly
one argument.

All Fluid arguments related to that setting, or Extbase UriBuilder methods
do not change any behavior anymore related to building an Uri.

## Impact {#impact}

Calling `UriBuilder->setAddQueryStringMethod()` will trigger a PHP `E_USER_DEPRECATED` error.

Calling `ContentObjectRenderer->getQueryArguments()` with more
than one argument will have no effect anymore.

Setting the TypoScript option `addQueryString.method` will
have no effect anymore.

Using the `addQueryStringMethod` argument in the following
ViewHelpers will trigger a deprecation notice:

-   `<f:form>`
-   `<f:link.action>`
-   `<f:link.page>`
-   `<f:link.typolink>`
-   `<f:uri.action>`
-   `<f:uri.page>`
-   `<f:uri.typolink>`

## Affected Installations {#affected-installations}

Any TYPO3 installation

-   with extensions calling Extbase's `UriBuilder->setAddQueryStringMethod()` method
-   with extensions calling `ContentObjectRenderer->getQueryArguments()` with more then one argument
-   with custom templates setting the `addQueryStringMethod` argument in Fluid using one of the mentioned ViewHelper.

## Migration {#migration}

Remove any usages within the Fluid templates or Extension code.
