Appending a query string when using Pagination

Recommended Posts

Hi - I have text that is saved to a session variable (sample_text). I need to save the text so that when users click the 'next' or 'previous' pages, the text can still be called and used. As it stands I can get text to be retained only on the page the user is currently viewing.

 

I was thinking that I could append the 'sample_text=foo' to the query string. So when the user clicks 'next' or 'previous', the sample_text follows. Hopefully that all made sense.

 

Any thoughts or ideas would be appreciated.

If you are correctly saving the data to a session variable, then there is no need to send it on the query string. I prefer to use session data for "filtering" criteria in my pagination scripts. Then you just use your normal logic for pagination and insert the filtering criteria into the query if it exists in the session data.
