Question

I am learning PHP:

A person will get a results page. I want to enable this person to be able to send the results page (via link) to their given email (form). The link won’t be constant as the results page would be specific for that person/ possibly session?

The results page is simply a html script containing sequences that have been run through a prediction model.

Answer 1

The best way to do this would be to have the search terms in the URL itself.

For instance, if its one search term, it could very easily be:

http://www.yoursite.com/search.php?term=search+term

Just handle this in PHP as:

<?php
$term = $_GET['term'];
/* blah blah, process the search and echo results */
?>

You could even utilize paging, and put the page in the URL itself, so that when the person returns to the link, it brings them right back to where they emailed it from. The rest is up to you.
