A problem of context...

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to get this pagination working.

Here's my controller with the problem line in between comments below!

Code:

index()
{
// would like to avoid using $_GET, but "$this->input->get()" doesn't return true.
    if($_GET)
    {
        $this->_do_search();
    }
    $this->load->library('pagination');
    $config['query_string_segment'] = 'page';
    if($_GET)
    {
        //construct URI with get variables
        if($this->input->get('skills'))
        $skill_str = "";
        foreach($this->input->get('skills') as $skill)
        $skill_str .= "&skills;[]=$skill";

        $uri_get = base_url()."admin/personnel?start_date=".$this->input->get('start_date')."&end;_date=".$this->input->get('end_date').$skill_str."&sort;=".$this->input->get('sort')."&direction;=".$this->input->get('direction');
    }
    else
        $uri_get = base_url().'admin/personnel';
    $config['base_url'] = $uri_get;

    // THIS IS THE PROBLEM LINE
    $config['total_rows'] = $this->admin_m->perform_search(@$skills,@$start_date,@$end_date,false,false,false,10,true);

    $config['per_page'] = '25';
    $this->pagination->initialize($config);
}
function _do_search()
{
    //Populate $skills, $start_date etc from $this->input->get('variable')
    $data->result = $this->admin_m->perform_search($skills,$start_date,$end_date,$page,$sort,$direction,10))

It needs to be in the _do_search function because that's when all the variables are set, however when I move it there and set

Code:

global $config;

the pagination just doesn't show up.

Am I doing this a really silly way? Feels like i'm almost there.

It came to me as soon as I hit "POST".

In the _do_search function, I assigned the value to it's own variable, then made it global.

Durrrr.
