You can add extra GET variables in the options array as below:

$pager_options = array(
‘mode’ => ‘Sliding’, // Sliding or Jumping mode. See below.
‘perPage’ => 10, // Total rows to show per page
‘delta’ => 4, // See below
‘totalItems’ => $totalItems,

‘extraVars’ => array(
‘firstName’ => ‘John’,
‘LastName’ => ‘Gates’)
);

How can you carry over your own variables into the URL?

I am using a form to POST a couple of variables (firstname and surname). The first page that is generated is fine, however pressing on page 2 then looses all the variables that have been posted which then displays the either contents of database.

quick example:
$perPage = $pager_options['perPage'];

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table WHERE person_firstname LIKE '%$firstname%' AND person_surname LIKE '%$surname%' LIMIT $from , $perPage", $connection);

I am presuming I need to add something to the $pager_options but I can’t figure out which part of Pager::factory() to use.

Hello Rancho, you could create a drop-down with the items to show per page. After selecting the drop-down, you could pass then set the per page items in a session, $_SESSION['perPage'] and then use it in your code.

$pager_options = array(
‘mode’ => ‘Sliding’,
‘perPage’ => $_SESSION['perPage'] ,
‘delta’ => 4,
//’separator’ => ‘,’,
‘totalItems’ => $totalItems,
);

I did not really get your question. The Pager.php is here:

http://pear.php.net/package/Pager/download

Or do you want to look at a demo pagination page?
