Thanks for any help in advance. I am using this exact same piece of code on
a server running PHP4, but for some reason when I run it on dreamhost using
PHP5, the search does not register and it just lists all items. There's not
much code, so I'm just putting it all in here. The script calls itself.
Can someone please tell me why the
if(!(isset($search)))
is ignored when the form is posted?

Thanks,

Shane

while (($i < $count) && ($i < $num)) {

if ($i < $bottom){
$i++;

echo "<LI><A HREF=$location>$name</A>";
echo "</LI> <BR><BR>";


$i++;

if ($count < $num){

$count = ($count + 20);

if(!(isset($search))){
echo "<A HREF=/listitem.php?count=$count>Next 20</A>";
}
else{
echo "<A HREF=/listitem.php?count=$count&search=$search>Next 20</A>";
}

}
?>
