Craig,
Maybe the best way to handle this is to "rip" the query string out of
your input/form file, stick it in a function that is called from each
results page and build the query on the back end. That way you aren't
rebuilding the query string on each page and you are only passing the
few variables that you really need to pass, you aren't fighting with
escaped and expanded quotes and life gets a little easier ;)
A side effect is that you can reuse the function on any page which can
come in handy.
So something like:
(results page)
<?php
include("functions.php");
if (isset($_POST) && $_POST['user_uid'] != "" && \
$_POST['some_other_query_variable']!= "" )
{
form_post_query($_POST['user_uid'], \
$_POST['some_other_query_variable'])
}
...
?>
(functions file )
<?php
function form_post_query($var1, $var2) {
//Query would go in here
}
...
?>
Of course you introduce issues of scope and you have to figure out
exactly how you want this to work. I would have the query occur in the
form_post function, that means either declaring your other script
variables as global within or without the function or specifically
passing the variables to the function.
Globals are generally seen as potential security issues and are
recommended against as a general rules.
Seeing that it looks like you are attempting to extend horde I would
definately recommend that you use external functions. That way, when you
upgrade horde you don't have to recustomize it.
