    Looking for some advice.

    I have a freetext search box which is submitted and returns results. At the moment I have it paginating etc. but its a bit messy.

    Is anyone aware of any PHP script or tutorial that gives a good example of it.

    Or has anyone any advise - At the moment Im session registering the results and on each subsequent page displaying a subset of this array.

    Would it be better to query the DB each time using an offset and limit, instead of this method
