Re: Search logic question

Chris' suggestion sounds allright. Depending on how you do the search depends on what you will want to do (to a certain degree) you might be able to store the search criteria in the url search.php?start=10&search=php%20general&subsearch1=search&subsearch2=logic $results = "query results from {$_GET['search']}"; //then you could loop thru it $i=1; $subsearch == true; while($subsearch == true){ if(isset($_GET['subsearch' . $i])){ $results = "subquery results"; }else{ $subsearch = false; } $i++; } just a concept, but it can work :) -- Luke "Hardik Doshi" <php_hardik@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:20031204222039.47547.qmail@web14714.mail.yahoo.com... > Hi Group, > > I need to implement the search engine for retrieving > the image observations data from the MySQL database. > The critical part in the search is the ability to add > search criteria (Multipage search) from page to page. > Anywhere during the process, user can click on the > search button to search the results.
