server side search

how do I reference the search[value] post?

I tried: $_POST['search[value]']

but this didn't work.

got it...

    $search = $_POST['search'];
    if (!empty($search['value'])) {
        $sql .= " Having searchField like '%".$search['value']."%'"; 
    }

    $orderBy = $_POST['order'];
    $orderCol =  intval($orderBy[0]['column']);
        $sql .= " order by " . $orderCol . " " . $orderBy[0]['dir']; 

where searchField is a concat of all the fields displayed in the table.

$_POST['search']['value']

is how you would do it if you wanted to access it directly from $_POST.

Ahh. That is a lot cleaner than mine :)

Thanks
