Question

This is more a question on php theory, and wondering how this scenario would be done..

So I have a gallery which has pagination, all done through reloading the page through $_GET.

I want the ability for a user to change the amount of images are displayed on a page (basically my LIMIT). I have this working, however when they go to the next page, the php reloads, and the pagecount gets reset back to default.

Is there a way to store this variable through $_POST to another page when they choose the page count, and then every time the page re-loads, it will grab that variable, so it is not re-set?

Excuse my noobiness. Hopefully this makes sense

I believe you are looking for session variables

<?php
session_start(); 
$_SESSION['views'] = 1; // store session data
echo "Pageviews = ". $_SESSION['views']; //retrieve data
?>
