Paging Through Repeating Regions

Thread began 9/29/2010 3:45 pm by htp372188 | Last modified 10/01/2010 9:19 am by Jason Byrnes | 2413 views | 10 replies |

Paging Through Repeating Regions

I am experiencing a problem when paging thru the repeating regions on my results page.
I can do a search & get the proper results on the first page. If I go to the subsequent pages,
I see totally invalid results. If I modify the code to show me ALL the rows rather than the 1st 10, then everything works as it should.

The DASW generated code for the results page has been modified slightly to give a bit of flexibility on the search string but that is probably the bulk of the changes.

I have attached a zip'd version of the results page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

data assist stores the previous search in a session variable and uses that when you are pageing.

it sounds like the session is not being set.

Add the following in the body to see if the session is being or not:
<?php echo("Search session: ".$_SESSION["WADbSearch1_Results1"]); ?>

No Joy

Jason,
Your hunch was correct. I inserted the code & nothing was echoed. Solutions?

one of two things is causing the issue:

1) The code modifications you made are causing the session not to be set.

2) The server is not configured to maintain session state properly.


to rule out the server, download the sessionTest.php file from the following thread:
showpost.php?p=23826&postcount=2

if this fails, you will need to contact the host to have session management fixed, most likely it is a problem with a bad session.save_path in the php.ini

Sessions are OK

Jason,
The test worked OK for me so apparently it's something I inadvertently messed up though I can't figure out exactly what I did wrong. The changes were pretty simple.

The remedy is running the Search Wizard 9 times to create 9 different pages & then save the generate code into 9 separate "include" files. Test the $search_type value at the start & include the appropriate code. A bit tedious to set up but apparently safer by far.

Yeah, I can't see what is wrong with your code, but my guess is that the if statement's you added where causing the if statement for setting the session to be passed over.

to trouble shoot you can add an echo with an incrementing integer into each of the if statements to see which one is firing last. this may help pinpoint where the logic is going astray.

First Steps

Jason,
What I may do is create the results page (1 - 9 series) for the search that is giving me problems. I'll try that one 1st simply to verify that it was something I did along the way. If that works correctly - and it should - I'll then try your suggestion w/ the incremental echos.

Problem Solved

Jason,
I did some testing & none of my modifications were causing the problem. It turns out that I had overlooked saving the SearchType as a session variable and was instead relying on $_GET values. The 1st time thru, that was OK. The 2nd time, the $_GET value for SearchType was gone and the code defaulted to a basic search. I saved SearchType as a session variable on the 1st pass & retrieved it from there afterwards if $_GET came up empty.
