Passing variables to the Pagination class.

[mayo23]

I'm testing some code in my test site and want to create an extensive filter system for the product listing page (listing_sql query in index.php).

 

The first problem was that passing too many variables and arrays through the URL (in a GET form) was creating issues (maximum URL length, passing multiple values through arrays, etc), so I changed the form to a POST form and changed the listing_sql query to receive the POST varaibles.

 

Everything was working OK, except the variables were not being passed through to the pagination script and were lost if I went to page 2.

 

SO, I tried a different approach and created session variables from the posted variables, which should now be retained in the query until I destroy or unset them. The problem is that when I click on the next page in the pagination, the session variables are gone.

 

Is there a session script somewhere that is destroying these session variables when a link is clicked, or should I revert back to the POST method, and if so, how can I adjust the split_page_result class to accept these variables.

 

Any help would be appreciated, as I am running out of hair to pull out.
