RE: [PHP] Dealing with Query String
In your PHP: On every click collect two variables: $by and $order then, call for this query: Select field from table where this=that order by $by $order; Make sure both variables have their default values in case there was nothing selected. You don't really need a function for this, just a few variables preset before calling mySQL.

RE: [PHP] Dealing with Query String
Privit Maxim, I understand your approach... i.e. I can hardcode it in the links, but what if I will add more variables in a query string... note in the query string there are variables that are not really related to the operation with the table, rather language ($lang=), page ($page=)... for now I guess I will wind up doing it HARD-CODEed way... Thanks, Vlad p.s. if anyone knows how to solve my problems, let me know... I think the function that would be suitable is parse_str() less suitable but still doable would be explode()... p.p.s. for MAXIM: I am doing it with languages switching as you can see on the top of the template.. I am using explode() -Original Message- From: Maxim Maletsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 10:04 PM To: Vladislav Kulchitski; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [PHP] Dealing with Query String In your PHP: On every click collect two variables: $by and $order then, call for this query: Select field from table where this=that order by $by $order; Make sure both variables have their default values in case there was nothing selected.

RE: [PHP] Dealing with Query String
Once your query (whatever it is) was composed, append this:
order by $by $order;
so, in this example it could be looking to you something like this:
$query = 'bla bla language and page';
if(!$by) {
$by = 'name_field';
if(!$order)
$order = 'desc';
}
$query .= $by $order;
and that is your function. It will look for $by and $order variables
passed to it via GET and will add it to your query. If not passed any it
will use the default ones.
Just add these values to your links and that is it.
Obviously, the security there is up to you.
