[SOLVED] Keeping POST data from searches

[c_shelswell]

Hi,

 

I've got a form on a page which searches and displays a load of records. A user can then view a record which navigates them away from that page. Is there a way to keep the post data from the previous page so i can add a back button? I thought of storing it all in session vars but this sounds like it could be a bit of a pain in the ar$e.

 

Does anyone know of any better ideas?

 

Cheers

Use $_GET instead of $_POST unless there's sensitive information.

that's a good idea. Never thought of that. Cheers

Ok another question. If i change the form to $_GET is there an easy way to add that data back to a link like a back button? as the below isn't going to work.

 

<?php

<a href='<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>?data=<?php print_r ($_GET); ?>'>Back</a>


?>

sorry stupid question. Just do this:

 

foreach ($_GET as $k => $v)
		{
			$link .= "&".$k."=".$v;
		}
