ok, i am now using a form to send an entire query from one page to another.
here is the code:
<form name='frmNext' action='test.php' method='post'>
<input type='hidden' name='query' value='<?php echo ($query); ?>'>
<input type="submit" class="submitLink" value="Submit Form">
</form>
just so u know, query=select sql_calc_found_rows field1, field2, field3, field4 from table1 where field1 like '%' and field2 like '%' and field3 like '%'
problem is, when i send it using the form, onyl half of it shows up. y?
