Well, _getLinksUrl() method is basically the same as in PEAR::Pager. Its purpose is to keep externally set $_GET (query-string) variables along the different pages. For instance, if your page/application needs an extra "order=ID" parameter, it doesn't get lost after the first page. I'm not sure I understood what you mean, though... maybe you're looking for "path" and "filename" options... Or is it a querystring issue? Please let me know...
I know this feature under name "original CGI variables feature". I do not know exactly how _getLinksUrl() works, howewer I consider as a more desirable way of doing this following approach: $obj = new Object(); $obj->setOriginalVariables(array( 'order' => $order,
	'ID'     => $ID,
'sessid' => $sessid)); $obj->someOtherMethodCalls(); Autodetection of GET variables can result into ugly URLs containing lot of unnecessary garbages and unwanted parameters. It is better to have possibility of explicit definition what HTTP GET variables should persist in query string accross various page reloads.
Yeah, I agree with you. Many users prefer don't having to worry about their urls, though, so an autodetection system is necessary IMO... I'd like to receive other opinions too about this subject, before changing anything... --- [Quipo ISP - Questa E-mail e' stata controllata dal programma Declude Virus] [Quipo ISP - This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus]
