Laravel 5.2 pagination issue with select box - php

Question

I would like to display data based on the chosen values from select box and search box. but select box ( maybe search box has same issue too) get reset whenever I click the page 2,3,4....
I believe I missed something with pagination code in the view / controller.
Please let me know the way to solve this issue.
Controller
class MemberListTestController extends Controller
{
public function search(Request $request)
{
$request->flash();
$memberName = $request->input('memberName');
$chosenCenter = $request->input('chosenCenter');
$memberLists= DB::table('tbMbrMember as Member')
->select(['Org.orgNm',
'Member.firstNm',
'Member.lastNm',
'Member.regDate',
'MshipCd.mshipNm',
'Att.dt',
'Member.phoneCell',
'Member.email',
'Group.groupNm',
DB::raw('MAX(Att.dt) AttDt, GREATEST(MAX(Reg.endDt),MAX(Reg.expDt)) rExpDt')])
->join('tbMbrCenter as Center', 'Member.mbrCd', '=', 'Center.mbrCd')
->join('tbCmOrg as Org', 'Center.orgCd', '=', 'Org.orgCd')
->leftjoin('tbMbrGroup as Group','Center.orgCd','=','Group.orgCd')
->leftjoin('tbMbrMshipReg as Reg', 'Member.mbrCd', '=', 'Reg.mbrCd')
->leftjoin('tbCmMshipCd as MshipCd', 'MshipCd.mshipCd', '=', 'Reg.mshipCd')
->leftjoin('tbMbrAtt as Att', 'Att.mbrCd', '=', 'Member.mbrCd')
->where('Center.orgCd', $chosenCenter)
->groupby('Member.mbrCd')
->paginate(25);
$centerLists = DB::table('tbMbrCenter as Center')
->select('Org.orgNm','Center.orgCd')
->join('tbCmOrg as Org', 'Center.orgCd', '=', 'Org.orgCd')
->where('Center.isShow','1')
->where('Org.companyCd','c1')
->where('Org.isShowList','1')
->groupby('Center.orgCd')

Answer 1

You have to pass the parameters via GET and recover the parameters from the URL.
{!! $memberLists->appends(Input::all())->render() !!}
This will send you to page 2 and so on... with all the inputs values.

Answer 2

I found a video in laracasts that explains all the built-in pagination options for your blade template in laravel 5.2 :
https://laracasts.com/lessons/crazy-simple-pagination
you will see that the correct way for a search page is:
{{ $memberLists->appends(Request::except('page'))->links() }}
This way it will keep the current url parameteres.
