What could be causing the issue with passing URL parameters on a local PHP installation?

The issue with passing URL parameters on a local PHP installation could be due to the `mod_rewrite` module not being enabled in the Apache server configuration. To solve this issue, you can enable the `mod_rewrite` module by updating the Apache configuration file.

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>
