Cookies...

[plasmahba]

Hi everybody!

One question

Is it possible to add to a cookie the "results" of a search engine?

So if I call that cookie again I can get the results from my search instead of searching again.

I want to do this because when I go back to my search page with the back button the session expired or if I use a direct link, the search page appears empty because it misses the search criteria I used before so I thought that maybe a cookie may work.

I have tried to use it and what I get is the "option name" coming from the field search instead the complete list of results.

I hope anybody can give a hint about this or any other way to do it

Thank you

you would want to store the search parameters in the cookie

for example, the search word(s)

then have your script check for the cookie, and if it exists and that data is acceptable, run the search and output the results

but before you do that, is the form using method = post or get?

it should be using method=get

that way you can just bookmark the url or use the back button and things will work.

Thanks Rehfeld

actually if my form is GET I can go back with my back button or javascript:history.

Now I will figure out how to go back from two sections ahead without clicking back twice, hehe

Ok
