Paging control and URL parameters

Question

Hi there,
Please check out this page:
http://martinique.org/activities/sports.php
Go to the section "Skiing Surfing"
1 - Use the navigation to go through the records.
2 - Take a look at the URL in the browser window.
Now, please go to the section "Hiking" and repeat 1 & 2.
Note that the URL is appending the new parameters instead of replacing the previous one.
What am I doing wrong here.
Please help me to solve this problem.
Thank you much!

Answer 1

The code generated by the Dreamweaver recordset navigation bar automatically adds any existing variables to the end of the query string. The following code (just above the DOCTYPE) comes from a recordset navigation bar on one of my pages:
$queryString_listAuthors = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  $newParams = array();
  foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_listAuthors") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_listAuthors") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
  if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_listAuthors = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
$queryString_listAuthors = sprintf("&totalRows_listAuthors=%d%s", $totalRows_listAuthors, $queryString_listAuthors);
I haven't tested this, but to eliminate the extra variables in the query string, comment out the whole of the if statement like this:
$queryString_listAuthors = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  $newParams = array();
  foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_listAuthors") == false &&
        stristr($param, "totalRows_listAuthors") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
  if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_listAuthors = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
$queryString_listAuthors = sprintf("&totalRows_listAuthors=%d%s", $totalRows_listAuthors, $queryString_listAuthors);
You will need to do that for each of your recordset navigation bars.
