I use JavaScript cookie to accomplish what you're doing in your case:
<script>
function setCookie(name, value, expires, path, domain, secure) {
var curCookie = name + "=" + escape(value) +
((expires) ? "; expires=" + expires.toGMTString() : "") +
((path) ? "; path=" + path : "") +
((domain) ? "; domain=" + domain : "") +
((secure) ? "; secure" : "");
document.cookie = curCookie;
}
function nav(value)
{
setCookie('searcheditem', value);
location.replace('after-search-click.php');
}
</script>
now in my search result display i do:
<a
href="javascript:nav('<?=$search_result['itemid']?>')"><?=$search_result['la
bel']?></a>
.
.
then in whatever page I want the search result item, i access it as:
$searchitem (as named in setCookie() call)
good luck,
Elias
