[FX.php List] Passing Data 101

[Andy Gaunt]

Jonathon -

If you change your variables from a $_POST to a $_REQUEST you can recall
them on the same page. This is useful in this instance of changing the sort
order of data already returned.

We are doing something similar at the new FMPug website
(http://www.pug-planet.com)

If you stop by and go through the visitor form (Just captured for the beta
testing process) and then click into the member directory link you will see
a set of icons under the heading "Looking for something in particular?"

If you click on these icons we are doing a new search request but returning
the result to the same page.

We could just as easily be altering the sort order.

As a matter of fact, the origin of the pages are from your PHP 8 Hours
videos.

I did echo the $query field, and nothing is printed.   Not surprised, 
because I'm not really sure how to capture the original query and 
pass it to the next search result page containing the alternate sort 
order.

I do have the following lines on the initial search result page, 
which attempts to accomplish what I am trying to do.  I'm still at 
the stage of cutting and pasting code from other examples to figure 
out how this all works:

<snip>
$query = $_POST['query'];
<snip>
$search->AddDBParam('query',$query);
<snip>
<a href="search_result_first.php?<?php echo $query; ?>">First</a>

There's *always* a logical answer....most of the time.
