How are you doing searches with Javascript? Last time I checked Javascript could not connect to a database... are you searching text files or something?

Either way, you are most likely going to have to store the values into a hidden text field and tehn pass them onto another page using the POST method.

Hello Greg!

       I am using Lucene API for searching HTML files! And, I shall get results in thousands which cannot be passed as POST parameters to PHP. Hence I need some good solution using which I can pass on this data to PHP. Moreover I would have to do paging on the recieved resultset. Accessing Java classes from PHP is not a good solution for that; because it is time consuming. Well for now, I am planning to use Servlets. Can you suggest me some other way?

Thanks

Hello Anand,

What you can do is save the data in a database in temporary tables and drop those tables at the end.When handling large amount of data it is advisable to use a database.

Hello Manoj,

       Well, I am using MySQL but because it is being used on a portal its not possible to create a temporary table everytime for every request and drop it again. There should have some other way to do that. What do you think?
