Pagination Help! With Search Result Variables...

[mjwarner]

Hi,

I have a problem and Its been bugging me for week and no matter what I do I cant seem to find the answer,

I have a search script which gets 2 variable posted from the page before and this sets what results someone is looking to retrieve from the database.

I have a pagination script in place on the page which is currently set at 2 for testing. Its searchs the DB and show the results. FINE.

But if there are more than 2 results and you have to click on the NEXT link or PAGE 2, you lose the posted Variables and you get 2 errors:

Notice: Undefined index: img_title in /home/www/markwarner.awardspace.com/search.php

Notice: Undefined index: img_location in /home/www/markwarner.awardspace.com/search.php

Basically these are saying the variables dont exist.

How can I get the variables from page to page?? Or is there something in my script I have done wrong?

[code]<?php
error_reporting(63);
include("./imgtag.php");


$limit = 2;

$page = 0;
   

$search_title = $HTTP_POST_VARS["img_title"];
$search_location = $HTTP_POST_VARS["img_location"];


$numresults = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM mjwarner_litter WHERE img_title LIKE '%".$search_title."%' OR img_title2 LIKE '%".$search_title."%' AND img_location LIKE '%".$search_location."%' AND 1");


$numrows = mysql_num_rows($numresults);

if ($numrows == 0){
    echo("No results found matching your Search");
    exit();}

$pages = intval($numrows/$limit);


if ($numrows % $limit) {
$pages++;}

$current = ($page/$limit) + 1;

if (($pages < 1) || ($pages == 0)) {
$total = 1;}

else {
$total = $pages;}
$first = $page + 1;

if (!((($page + $limit) / $limit) >= $pages) && $pages != 1) {
$last = $page + $limit;}

else{
$last = $numrows;}


?>

Hope someone can see a solution.

Thanks

You must include the variables in the URL too, so this code

[code]<?php
if ($page != 0) {
  $back_page = $page - $limit;
  echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit\">back</a>    \n");
}

for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
  $ppage = $limit*($i - 1);
  if ($ppage == $page){
      echo("<b>$i</b> \n");
  }
  else{
      echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$ppage&limit=$limit\">$i</a> \n");
  }
}

if (!((($page+$limit) / $limit) >= $pages) && $pages != 1) {
  $next_page = $page + $limit;
  echo("    <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$next_page&limit=$limit\">next</a>\n");
}
?>[/code]

Should look like this:

[code]<?php
if ($page != 0) {
  $back_page = $page - $limit;
  echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$back_page&limit=$limit&img_title=$search_title&img_location=search_location\">back</a>    \n");
}

for ($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
  $ppage = $limit*($i - 1);
  if ($ppage == $page){
      echo("<b>$i</b> \n");
  }
  else{
      echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$ppage&limit=$limit&img_title=$search_title&img_location=search_location\">$i</a> \n");
  }
}

if (!((($page+$limit) / $limit) >= $pages) && $pages != 1) {
  $next_page = $page + $limit;
  echo("    <a href=\"$PHP_SELF?query=$query&page=$next_page&limit=$limit&img_title=$search_title&img_location=search_location\">next</a>\n");
}
?>[/code]

You'll also need to capture these at the top of your script as currently you have $HTTP_POST_VARS but you'll be using $HTTP_GET_VARS for these.
