Yup, some good work there Tedd! In the end I decided the simplest way of coding the functionality was to do something similar to what Eric said, and have some extra submit buttons in the form, called Next, Previous and Jump. When clicked, they each submitted the form again with a different flag set. Along with a session variable storing the "current" page, I was able to code a reasonably neat solution deciding which results to show without having to rewrite any sections of my code. Because these submit buttons are tied to a form at the top of the page, this has limited me to only having the navigational buttons at the top of the results table rather than at the bottom too, but that is perfectly fine in my situation. Thanks all for your assistance, Jon. -----Original Message----- From: Bastien Koert [mailto:phpster@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: 08 July 2008 15:08 To: Philip Thompson Cc: PHP-General List Subject: Re: Keeping POST values when paging On Tue, Jul 8, 2008 at 9:29 AM, Philip Thompson <philthathril@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On Jul 7, 2008, at 12:46 PM, tedd wrote: > > At 2:51 PM +0100 7/7/08, Mayer, Jonathan wrote: >> >>> Hiya all, >>> >>> I have coded a PHP site on an intranet which forms a MySQL query based on >>> multiple inputs on a large form.
