First of all Hi,
My boss has given me tha task of building a dynamic site for his realestate company, i'm using ultradev 4.1 with phakt 2.0 (so php, and mysql)
I have a problem that i can't quite get my head around.i have a page with 3 buttons, (residential,rental, and land)
which when pressed are making a new entry into table - "main_index", which has columns, quickfind (auto increment),prop_type, and primary key (prop_id,prop_type)
so that visitors can re-visit a found property very quickly be entering the quickfind number.
Here's my problem:
i need to pass the "quickfind" the auto incrementing number to the next page the main details page for that property to save in it's table, for indexing purposes.
how can i retrieve the newly created "quickfind" number and pass it to the detail page automatically.
I've had a look at the session variable, but i'm not quite sure how to use it to do what i need.
thanks for any help in advance
(i hope that all makes sense)

Is there a reason why you can't pass it in a URL string? Maybe I don't understand exactly.

Also, isn't it kind of cumbersome to have people to write down numbers when you could have a sidebar with 'recently viewed properties' or something to that effect (store it in a cookie, temporary table, etc)? Just a thought.
