Thanks for the help. Ended up using GET like you said and simply appended the variable to my pagination links like this: $pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$next&City=$City\">next</a>";

Thanks for the reply. I have changed the POST variables to GET in the example code above but the problem is still there. Is there something else I need to edit to pass the variables through the URL?

Hey guys, I'm using the following pagination script from a website I found. I'ts basically a pagination script that takes data from a MySQL database and displays a certain number of sets before placing the next set on a new page. This script works great if I substitute a static value for the data I want returned but If the request is stored in a $POST variable like from an HTML form the data refuses to paginate. It will render the first set of data but will not paginate the rest and only shows blank pages I'm thinking it has something to do with the $POST variable not being set or carrying over to each page but I'm not sure. I truly appreciate the help! <?php /* Place code to connect to your DB here. */ include('config.php'); // include your code to connect to DB. $tbl_name=""; //your table name // How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side? $adjacents = 3; /* First get total number of rows in data table. If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here. */ $query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name"; $total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query)); $total_pages = $total_pages[num]; /* Setup vars for query. */ $targetpage = "filename.php"; //your file name (the name of this file) $limit = 2; //how many items to show per page $page = $_GET['page']; if($page) $start = ($page - 1) * $limit; //first item to display on this page else $start = 0; //if no page var is given, set start to 0 /* Get data. */ $sql = "SELECT column_name FROM $tbl_name LIMIT $start, $limit"; $result = mysql_query($sql); /* Setup page vars for display. */ if ($page == 0) $page = 1; //if no page var is given, default to 1. $prev = $page - 1; //previous page is page - 1 $next = $page + 1; //next page is page + 1 $lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit); //lastpage is = total pages / items per page, rounded up. $lpm1 = $lastpage - 1; //last page minus 1 /* Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object.
