How can the issue of maintaining search parameters across pagination in PHP be addressed effectively?

Issue: When implementing pagination in PHP, maintaining search parameters across pages can be challenging. To address this effectively, we can store the search parameters in session variables and pass them along with the pagination links. 

// Start the session
session_start();

// Check if search parameters are submitted
if(isset($_GET['search'])) {
    // Store search parameters in session variables
    $_SESSION['search'] = $_GET['search'];
}

// Retrieve search parameters from session
$search = isset($_SESSION['search']) ? $_SESSION['search'] : '';

// Use $search in your query to filter results

// Display pagination links with search parameters
echo '<a href="?page=1&search=' . $search . '">1</a>'; // Example pagination link
