Making Pagination Work with GET in URL?

[chaseman]

I'm using the PHP Freaks pagination tutorial.

 

Till now the pagination function works very great, except on pages where I use GET in the URL.

 

When I use the pagination navigation links on a profile page like this:

 

domain.com/profile.php?user=konopkov

 

then the URL becomes to this:

 

domain.com/profile.php?current_page=2

 

And the profile won't show up anymore.

 

So my question is how can I achieve it so the pagination navigation links will still work even with URL's which use GET?

 

 

Here's an example of the pagination links section:

 

// echo forward link for next page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?current_page=$next_page'>></a> ";
// echo forward link for last page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?current_page=$total_pages'>>></a> ";

 

 

Thank you.

This is how I solved it:

 

$url = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
$profile = "/directory/profile.php";
$user_name_get = $_GET['user'];

if ($url == $profile) {

// echo forward link for next page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?user=$user_name_get&current_page=$next_page'>></a> ";
// echo forward link for last page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?user=$user_name_get&current_page=$total_pages'>>></a> ";

} else {

// echo forward link for next page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?current_page=$next_page'>></a> ";
// echo forward link for last page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?current_page=$total_pages'>>></a> ";
