[PHP] $_GET data clear
I am creating a form that will work as a search form for a database, and I wanted to use get as the method for getting the information so that they could bookmark the searches. The problem is that some of the residual data is left over from search to search.
I can reset the headers on the page to only show the data that I want, but I was wondering if that was the most secure/best way to do this or if there is something else that people do to remove the extra data from the URL.
Thanks so much!

Just because they are sending you data that doesn't mean you need to process it. You can always ignore the extra data that is coming in the request.

Oh, great link on Sessions. So I can just unset the session every time I change the search. That works perfectly! Thanks!
