Chuck,
Setup your form like this (assuming search.php is the name of your page):
<FORM ACTION="search.php" METHOD="post">
<INPUT TYPE="hidden" NAME="step" VALUE="2">
.....
</FORM>
Then in your search.php page, use this structure:
# --- set $step to passed value, or else set to default ---
if (isset($_GET["step"])) { $step=$_GET["step"]; }
elseif (isset($_POST["step"])) { $step=$_POST["step"]; }
else { $step="1"; }
if ($step==2)
{
# --- do the Search query and display results here ---
# after displaying, then set step=1 to force the search form to
come up again at the bottom of the page
$step=1;
}
if ($step==1)
{
# --- put the form here... ---
}
I use the "step" variable all the time in controlling page flow, and
allowing me to re-use the same .php file for many similar purposes to keep
the file count of the site low.
HTH,
Peter
