Get Parameters Not returning correctly when using desired urlformat - yii2

Question

I am having a bit of trouble with get params in Yii2. I have code like the following:
Url::to(['support/about', 'id' => 100]);
And this returns the below:
/support/about.php?id=100
Which is exactly what I was after. But when I then try to reverse engineer this by entering that into the address bar and trying to get the value of id using the below:
echo Yii::$app->request->getQueryParam('id');
echo Yii::$app->request->get('id');
echo $_GET['id'];
I get nothing at all.
I do however get the correct value when I use:
/support/about/100.php
My url manager is like below:
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'enableStrictParsing' => false,
'suffix' => '.php',
//'cache' => 'cache',
//'scriptUrl' => '',
//'baseUrl' => '/',
//'hostInfo' => 'http://www.yourhost.com.au',
'routeParam' => 'r',
'ruleConfig' => [
'class' => 'yii\web\UrlRule'
],
'rules' => array(
[
'pattern' => '',
'route' => 'site/index',
'suffix' => '',
],
[
'pattern' => '<action:\w+>',
'route' => 'site/<action>',
'suffix' => '.php',
],
[
'pattern' => '<controller:support>',
'route' => '<controller>/index',
'suffix' => '/',
],
[
'pattern' => '<controller:support>/<action:\w+>',
'route' => '<controller>/<action>',
'suffix' => '.php',
],
[
'pattern' => '<module:\w+>/<action:\w+>',
'route' => '<module>/default/<action>',
'suffix' => '.html',
],
[
'pattern' => 'gii',
'route' => 'gii',
'suffix' => '',
],
[
'pattern' => '/<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>',
'route' => 'gii/<controller>/<action>',
'suffix' => '',
],
'<controller:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/view',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>/<id:\d+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
'<controller:\w+>/<action:\w+>' => '<controller>/<action>',
),
],

Let's narrow down question a bit.
Since you have issue with particular URL we can remove stuff that doesn't matter for the case from URL manager config:
'urlManager' => [
'enablePrettyUrl' => true,
'showScriptName' => false,
'rules' => [
[
'pattern' => '<controller:support>',
'route' => '<controller>/index',
'suffix' => '/',
],
[
'pattern' => '<controller:support>/<action:\w+>',
'route' => '<controller>/<action>',
'suffix' => '.php',
],
],
],
I've removed values that are the same by default, rules that never apply and global prefix since you're setting it per
rule anyway.
Now test controller:
<?php
namespace app\controllers;
use yii\web\Controller;
class SupportController extends Controller
{
public function actionIndex()
{
return 'Hello, I am index.';
}
public function actionAbout()
{
echo \yii\helpers\Html::a(\yii\helpers\Url::to(['support/about', 'id' => 10]), ['support/about', 'id' => 10]);
echo '<br>';
echo \yii\helpers\VarDumper::dump(\Yii::$app->request->get(), 10, true);
}
}
Make sure that you webserver rewrite rules are correct for .php that aren't index.php. To verify that you may
change all suffixes to .html. I did since my server is configured to serve .php directly.
When following http://example.com/support/about.html?id=10 I'm getting the following:
/support/about.html?id=10
[
'id' => '10'
]
That means Yii works fine and the problem is about webserver config.
