Using url in pagination

[LloydFarrell]

Hi everyone, I have a pagination script that is working great -
What I am trying to is use a variable from the url and insert that into my pagination

Here is the working pagination -

<?php 

/* 
		Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object. 
		We're actually saving the code to a variable in case we want to draw it more than once.
	*/
	$pagination = "";
	if($lastpage > 1)
	{	
		$pagination .= "<div class=\"pagination\">";
		//previous button
		if ($page > 1) 
			$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$prev&$variableToAppend\">« previous</a>";
		else
			$pagination.= "<span class=\"disabled\">« previous</span>";	
		
		//pages	
		if ($lastpage < 7 + ($adjacents * 2))	//not enough pages to bother breaking it up
		{	
			for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
			{
				if ($counter == $page)
					$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
				else
					$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$counter&$variableToAppend\">$counter</a>";					
			}
		}
		elseif($lastpage > 5 + ($adjacents * 2))	//enough pages to hide some
		{
			//close to beginning; only hide later pages
			if($page < 1 + ($adjacents * 2))		
			{
				for ($counter = 1; $counter < 4 + ($adjacents * 2); $counter++)
				{
					if ($counter == $page)
						$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
					else
						$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$counter&$variableToAppend\">$counter</a>";					
				}
				$pagination.= "...";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$lpm1&$variableToAppend\">$lpm1</a>";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$lastpage&$variableToAppend\">$lastpage</a>";		
			}
			//in middle; hide some front and some back
			elseif($lastpage - ($adjacents * 2) > $page && $page > ($adjacents * 2))
			{
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=1&$variableToAppend\">1</a>";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=2&$variableToAppend\">2</a>";
				$pagination.= "...";
				for ($counter = $page - $adjacents; $counter <= $page + $adjacents; $counter++)
				{
					if ($counter == $page)
						$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
					else
						$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$counter&$variableToAppend\">$counter</a>";					
				}
				$pagination.= "...";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$lpm1&$variableToAppend\">$lpm1</a>";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$lastpage&$variableToAppend\">$lastpage</a>";		
			}
			//close to end; only hide early pages
			else
			{
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=1&$variableToAppend\">1</a>";
				$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=2&$variableToAppend\">2</a>";
				$pagination.= "...";
				for ($counter = $lastpage - (2 + ($adjacents * 2)); $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
				{
					if ($counter == $page)
						$pagination.= "<span class=\"current\">$counter</span>";
					else
						$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$counter&$variableToAppend\">$counter</a>";					
				}
			}
		}
		
		//next button
		if ($page < $counter - 1) 
			$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$next&$variableToAppend\">next »</a>";
		else
			$pagination.= "<span class=\"disabled\">next »</span>";
		$pagination.= "</div>\n";		
	}
?>

Here is my attempt of adding the url variable into the pagination code
on the "next" button -
What I would like to know is how to code this correctly for the next button, previous button and the page number buttons

//next button
		// ?vs=$vs
		if ($page < $counter - 1) 
			$pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?vs=$vs&page$next&$variableToAppend\">next »</a>";
		else
			$pagination.= "<span class=\"disabled\">next »</span>";
		$pagination.= "</div>\n";		
	}

Many thanks
Lloyd
