How to Send Mutiple $_Gets ???

[icoppa]

Hello All, I'm having trouble figuring this one out.

I have a page that does a standard query to a MySQL database. (This works fine)

Then I have some <if's> that change the query based on $_GETS

if($_GET[view] == "resolved") {$mylink = $_SERVER[php_SELF];} else { $mylink = $_SERVER[php_SELF]."?view=resolved"; }

if($_GET[expand] == "yes") {$mylink2 = $_SERVER[php_SELF];} else { $mylink2 = $_SERVER[php_SELF]."?expand=yes"; }

These <if's> work fine. =)

I have links on the page that will set the $_GET to view=resolved or expand=yes.

 

My Problem:

How to get the page to remember my first selection?

I click the index.php?view=resolved link and I get just that.

I click the index.php?expand=yes link and I get that BUT loose the view=resolved

 

I need the page to remember my first selection so I get somthing like this - index.php?view=resolved&expand=yes

 

Any Tips,Tricks or Critiques Welcome

Thank you for your time!

You just want to pass the entire query string on to the next page?

<?php
// if the page was http://www.example.com/index.php?view=resolved&expand=yes
// $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING] = view=resolved&expand=yes
$mylink = $_SERVER[php_SELF] . '?' . $_SERVER[QUERY_STRING];
?>

You're supposed to type it like:

$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']

not

$_SERVER[php_SELF]

As for remembering the values, just use sessions.

I'm assuming that there will be times that other variables will be part of the $_GET array which you DON'T want to pass on.  When that is the case, you won't want to use the above code.

 

Try this on for size.

if($_GET[view] == "resolved") {
  $mylink = $_SERVER[php_SELF];
  if(is_set($_GET['expand'])){$mylink .= "?expand=" . $_GET['expand'];} 
} else { 
  $mylink = $_SERVER[php_SELF]."?view=resolved";
  if(is_set($_GET['expand'])){$mylink .= "&expand=" . $_GET['expand'];} 
}
if($_GET[expand] == "yes") {
  $mylink2 = $_SERVER[php_SELF];
  if(is_set($_GET['resolved'])){$mylink .= "?resolved=" . $_GET['resolved'];}
} else { 
  $mylink2 = $_SERVER[php_SELF]."?expand=yes"; 
  if(is_set($_GET['resolved'])){$mylink .= "&resolved=" . $_GET['resolved'];}
}

You're absolutely right, that's what I get for typing it before I shutdown and go home. sorry about that.
