I am using a form in page 1.
When I fill the form and click summit it passes several variable values pickup in page 2, page 2 uses a pagination script and the first time it display the data coming from the form, displaying the values but when i click in the second page in the pagination rows of numbers then the variable coming from page 1 to page 2 turns off only for the query of the three used in the script below WHERE (zip= ‘$strZipCode’) on the very top of the script right below where zip=$strZipCode variable coming from page 1 form is extracted. in this case the variable $strZipCode will activate the query below so, if that variable value is not through then the query won’t display it’s fields zip, state etc… It does = to false when users goes through pagination in page 2. It seems like the value of $strZipCode is lost. How can I still maintain the variable value through pagination?
what is happening in this query that the variable $strZipCode is not passing true when users paginate through when looking for more set of rows results?
