    how to append variable to url which already has variables

    I'm working with a PHP page I wrote which searches through records in a
    MySQL database.

    I have a <form method="post"wh ich currently passes all of search
    variables into the session array. I'd like to change the form to GET
    instead of POST so that all of the variables are in the URL.

    My problem is that I have already been using pagination code which
    creates links like <a href="?page=2"> . With all of the other variables
    in the session array, it works fine. But moving to the GET method, I
    need to append that "?page" variable to the existing URL with the other
    variables.

    I think I may have skipped over this chapter in all of my studies
    because I just have no idea how to pull it off :)

    Can anyone point me in the right direction?

          keep the form to post but add to action atribute the get part you
          require for the pagging stuff.

          <form method="POST" action="myform. php?page=123">

          It will submit post stuff through post method in the script wich will be
          invoked by get vars :)

              You want to make php generate a hidden field in your form like:

              <input type="hidden" name="page" value="<?=$_GET['page'];?>" />

              That should solve it, unless I have just totally misread your question,
              in which case.. please explain a little clearer :)
