Just set a form var (or add a GET variable to your link) from your search.php page that says that you only want the searched records, something like: <input type="hidden" name="onlySearch" value="1" /> And then, in your export script, check for the existence of that variable before doing your query: <?php if (isset($_REQUEST['onlySearch']) and ($_REQUEST['onlySearch'] == 1)) { doSearchExport(); } else { doFullExport(); } ?> HTH- James > > > -- > > Jason Pruim > Raoset Inc. > Technology Manager > MQC Specialist > 3251 132nd ave > Holland, MI, 49424 > www.raoset.com > japruim@xxxxxxxxxx > > -- > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php > > -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
