PHPRunner 4.2:
Proceed to the Visual Editor and open the advanced search page.

Switch to HTML mode and find the following code snippet:

<form method="POST" action="TableName_list.php" name="editform">


and replace it with:

<form method="GET" action="TableName_list.php" name="editform">


Build the project and run advanced search. Copy and paste the URL into your code.
PHPRunner 5.0/5.1:
Build the project and open generated <table_name>_search.php file.
Find the following code snippet:

$contents_block["begin"]="<form method=\"POST\" ";


and replace it with:

$contents_block["begin"]="<form method=\"GET\" ";


Run the search and copy the URL.

Does this apply to 5.0? I'm sure I managed to get it working on a previous version, but I am unable to now!

Should work the same way in all versions. What's happening when you make this change in version 5.0?

I've not been able to make the changes - the problem is I can't find the relevant code in 5.0!

I've posted an update related to version 5.0.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but how do I do this with PHPRunner 6.1 or, especially, 6.2? I need to do this in my project but I also don't see the specified text in the html.
To be clear, I don't really need the results of user supplied advanced search, but instead want to jump to a specific record on a list page via a href link defined on a different page. I could construct this href in a custom view. Like this (this is a function called by the custom view code in several places; $mac=a key in current list, $text=what to display for link):



function LinkToServers($mac,$text)

{

global $sys_dbname;

$pageBase = $sys_dbname;

$mastersPage = "Servers_list.php";

$prefix = "<a href=\"http://".$_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"].":".$_SERVER["SERVER_PORT";];

$prefix .= "/" . $pageBase . "/" . $mastersPage . "?a=integrated&ctlSearchFor=";

$prefix .= $mac;

$prefix .= "&simpleSrchFieldsComboOpt=&simpleSrchTypeComboNot=&simpleSrchTypeComboOpt=&criteria=and";

$prefix .= "\">";

return $prefix . $text . "</a>";

}


I arrived at that string via a cut and paste of the URL from the browser as provided to a list search. It works sort of okay in 6.1 but not at all in 6.2.

In version 6.2 it's much more simpler than that. Just copy the search results page URL right from browser's address line.

Fantastic. That works much better than in 6.1. Excellent work, thanks.
