Now, the problem I am having is that when I choose a month and a year, things work great it displays entries with the correct amount per page.

When my pagination links kick-in, if there are more then 5 entries to display, when I click on the Next or Previous link, it loses my variable.

ure using the link to next page like this

<a href="' . $PHP_SELF . '?page=' . ($page + 1) . '" onclick=document.pagejump.submit()>Next

so ure the form to submit() thru POST but ure passing the page variable as a GET variable ?page=whatever, and besides the link has a onClick so the page value is not taken

try this instead make the next link in this format

<a href=". $PHP_SELF ."?page=". ($page + 1)."&archiveyear=".$archiveyear."&archivemonth=".$archivemonth." >Next"

I took out the javascript stuff as that was just me trying something.

I tried to use sessions, but that seemed to not work as I wanted as once the page was loaded, it set the variables for the current year and month. Then when I choose a month and year from the drop downs, it would then default load those month and year as the current.
