IS the 'page' parameter actually doing anything? You could just not set it in the first place. OR you could just ignore it, i.e. not have $_GET['page'] do anything. Once the 'page' has been passed to the new page, even if you remove the bit with str_replace() or similar, $_GET['page'] will still exist. You could get rid of it by unset($_GET['page']).

If you really need to get rid of the offending parameter and can't do this from the original parsing function, use str_pos() to find the start of '&page=' and str_replace() to replace all characters from that point onwards with '' OR use str_pos() and substr() to truncate from that point onwards.

actually in my project paging it being display after searching the records. records are being paged.so there is a long query string which i can't assembe using the $_GET[] , so i used the server varialbe $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'], which in turn apending the page variable again and again in the url querystring while moving over the pages, to remove this problem i thought i must remove this page varialbe so that page class again can append it's page parameter only once.

if you know some better way of doing it kindly suggest me

Thanks.
