How do I get a post variable from page 1 to page 2, 3, 4, etc using Pagination?

Hi guys,

 

I am using the basic pagination for a query result.

 

<?php

//PAGENATION
if (isset($_GET['pageno'])) {
   $pageno = $_GET['pageno'];
   $i = $pageno * 25 - 24;
} else {
   //$pageno = 1;
   $i = 1;
}

//PAGINATION
$query = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM masterList WHERE decs ='$decs'"); 
$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($query);
$numrows = $query_data[0];
$rows_per_page = 25;
$lastpage = ceil($numrows/$rows_per_page);
$pageno = (int)$pageno;
if ($pageno < 1) {
   $pageno = 1;
} elseif ($pageno > $lastpage) {
   $pageno = $lastpage;
}
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pageno - 1) * $rows_per_page .',' .$rows_per_page;


$sql = "SELECT * FROM masterList WHERE decs ='$decs' ORDER BY mfr $limit";      



} elseif (isset($_SESSION['enf']) && $_SESSION['enf'] != "") {
$engFam = $_SESSION['enf'];
$matching = $engFam;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM masterList WHERE engFam ='$engFam' ORDER BY mfr";
} elseif (isset($_SESSION['year']) && isset($_SESSION['disp']) && isset($_SESSION['mfr']) && $_SESSION['year'] != 0) {
$year = $_SESSION['year'];
$disp = $_SESSION['disp'];
$mfr = $_SESSION['mfr'];
$matching = $year. " ". $disp . " " .$mfr;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM masterList WHERE year ='$year' AND disp ='$disp' AND mfr='$mfr' ORDER BY mfr";
}

$results = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());

//show results

if ($pageno == 1) {
   echo " << < ";
} else {
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=1'><<</a> ";
   $prevpage = $pageno-1;
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$prevpage'><</a> ";
}
echo "  Page $pageno of $lastpage  ";

if ($pageno == $lastpage) {
   echo " > >> ";
} else {
   $nextpage = $pageno+1;
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$nextpage'>></a> ";
   echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=$lastpage'>>></a> ";
}
  if ($pageno == 1) {
   $i = 1;
  } else {
   $i = $pageno * 25 - 24;
  }

?>

 

The problem I am having is that I need two post variables to carry over if the user goes to page 2 or any other page. I tried using

 

<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="proceed" value="proceed" />
<input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $_POST['terms']; ?>" value="terms" />
</form>

 

But this didn't work. Any ideas?

 

Thanks ahead of time.

You have your name and value around the wrong way...

input type="hidden" name="<?php echo $_POST['terms']; ?>" value="terms" />

Should be:

input type="hidden" name="terms" value="<?php echo $_POST['terms']; ?>" />
