Sessions

[eluser]RS71[/eluser]
Ah I see, thank you for your explanation.

I don't know why exactly I want to go the sessions route but it was the first option that came to my mind. The page that I have is a Google map with a side bar (results and filter). On every movement of the map, the script fetches a new xml file based on where the map is. (the xml is a php page that uses coordinates passed as uri segments)

I was thinking that by using sessions, the user could click on a result then travel back and be brought to the same place with the same results. If I used the URI segments, the javascript wouldn't remember the last place or search terms, no? I currently have the place of the map passed as URI segments but I'd probably set them in the session with the search preferences as well.

What do you think? Am I just talking non sense? heh
