cheyner11 Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 I am building a search engine for a site. A user can search by entering data in 10 different fields. Once a user gets results and clicks on a specific record (directed to record), how can I store this data so that I can let them click a link and go back to the search results?I am using sessions.The easiest way would be most appreciated.Thanks.

shocker-z Posted March 1, 2006 Share Posted March 1, 2006 just set a session variable called lastsearch that when a user searches for somthing it sets it.. Then on each page it has a link "original search" and has the prv search in a url e.g.[a href=\"http://www.myurl.com/search.php?search=$lastsearch\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.myurl.com/search.php?search=$lastsearch[/a]and then on the search page before it validates all other searches just use if (isset($_GET['search'])) {//query and all that} else {//all other searchs from a POST}Is that a feisable idea?*justa ruff guess at what your wanting* Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/3809-link-back-to-search-results/#findComment-13260 Share on other sites More sharing options...
