Creating a new project using php: retrieving data from mysql database using a search function (search.php) - added pagination to the search result on results page (find.php). Question is, when the first search is displayed, it shows the correct data; however, when i click on 2nd page (pagination button), it populates all the data again - not the term i searched for: Please help!
search.php
<form action="find.php" method="post">
<input name="search" type="search" autofocus><input type="submit" name="button">
</form>
find.php
<?php
include_once("config.php");
if(isset($_POST['button'])){
$search=$_POST['search'];
}
$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM bra_list WHERE locations like '%{$search}%' $limit ");
$row = mysql_num_rows($result);
$page_rows = 3;
$last = ceil($row/$page_rows);
if($last < 1){
$last = 1;
}
$pagenum = 1;
if(isset($_GET['page'])){
$pagenum = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', '', $_GET['page']);
}
if ($pagenum < 1) {
$pagenum = 1;
} else if ($pagenum > $last) {
$pagenum = $last;
}
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows;
$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM bra_list WHERE locations like '%{$search}%' $limit ");
$textline2 = "Page <b>$pagenum</b> of <b>$last</b>";
$paginationCtrls = '';
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
if($last != 1){
if ($pagenum > 1) {
$previous = $pagenum - 1;
$paginationCtrls .= 'Previous';
for($i = $pagenum-4; $i < $pagenum; $i++){
if($i > 0){
$paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.'';
}
}
}
$paginationCtrls .= '<span class="current">'.$pagenum.'</span>';
for($i = $pagenum+1; $i <= $last; $i++){
$paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.'';
if($i >= $pagenum+4){
break;
}
}
if ($pagenum != $last) {
$next = $pagenum + 1;
$paginationCtrls .= 'Next ';
}
}
?>

You must have to set search term in pagination links. Try this.
<form action="find.php" method="post">
<input name="search" type="search" autofocus><input type="submit" name="button">
</form>
<?php
include_once("config.php");
if(isset($_POST['button'])){
$search=$_POST['search'];
}
$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM bra_list WHERE locations like '%{$search}%' $limit ");
$row = mysql_num_rows($result);
$page_rows = 3;
$last = ceil($row/$page_rows);
if($last < 1){
$last = 1;
}
$pagenum = 1;
if(isset($_GET['page'])){
$pagenum = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#', '', $_GET['page']);
}
// get search tearm from url
if(isset($_GET['search'])){
$search=$_GET['search'];
}
if ($pagenum < 1) {
$pagenum = 1;
} else if ($pagenum > $last) {
$pagenum = $last;
}
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows;
$result = mysql_query(" SELECT * FROM bra_list WHERE locations like '%{$search}%' $limit ");
$textline2 = "Page <b>$pagenum</b> of <b>$last</b>";
$paginationCtrls = '';
$self = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
// you must have to set search tearm in pagination links
if($last != 1){
if ($pagenum > 1) {
$previous = $pagenum - 1;
$paginationCtrls .= 'Previous';
for($i = $pagenum-4; $i < $pagenum; $i++){
if($i > 0){
$paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.'';
}
}
}
$paginationCtrls .= '<span class="current">'.$pagenum.'</span>';
for($i = $pagenum+1; $i <= $last; $i++){
$paginationCtrls .= ''.$i.'';
if($i >= $pagenum+4){
break;
}
}
if ($pagenum != $last) {
$next = $pagenum + 1;
$paginationCtrls .= 'Next ';
}
}
?>
<table border='1' cellpadding='10' style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<th>id</th>
<th>name</th>
<th>address</th>
<th>phone</th>
<th>email</th>
<th>website</th>
<th>locations</th>
<th>info</th>
</tr>
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $row['id']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $row['name']; ?></td>
