I am trying to sort search results, and everything works fine on the first page of results until I try to go to another page.
When I click next page or a specific page I lose my filtered search and all of the results in the database get displayed. (eg. if my search results returned 5 pages when I click next page I end up getting page 2 of all 40 pages of everything in the database rather than page 2 of the search results)
I have searched but still have not found a solution, I saw a post about substituting $GET with $REQUEST but i was unable to get it to work. I'm fairly new at php, but I have an ok understanding of it.
I figure someone here may have a quick fix for this. I'm lost at this point. Any guidence is greatly appreciated.
include ("mysql.php");
$page = $_GET['page'];
$s_page = str_replace(" ","%",$_POST['seach']);
if ($s_page == "") $s_page = str_replace(" ","%",$_GET['seach']);
$query = "SELECT * FROM `covers` WHERE `bandname` LIKE '%$s_page%'";
$result = mysql_query($query);
$number = mysql_num_rows($result);
// How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
$adjacents = 2;
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM `covers` WHERE `bandname` LIKE '%$s_page%'";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];
/* Setup vars for query. */
$limit = 8; //how many items to show per page
if($page)
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit; //first item to display on this page
else
$start = 0; //if no page var is given, set start to 0
$query = "SELECT * FROM `covers` WHERE `bandname` LIKE '%$s_page%' ORDER BY `bandname` ASC LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query);
/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0) $page = 1; //if no page var is given, default to 1.
