Dynamic Navigation Bar

Results from full-text searches on a documents database are returning
sometimes 300-400 hits, so I'm gonna need to implement a dynamic navigation
bar. Perhaps this a stupid question, but it seems from a brief googling
that navigation bars - dynamic or not - operate by appending variables and
values to the URL within the link, which are then grabbed
from the $_GET array. Can someone shed some light on whether this the only
method used?

And, yes, I know that there is a Pear package that does this, but I'm more
inclined to implement my own at present.

Thanks very much.

David

No, you could try keeping that data in sessions or in hidded form fields in
the page...note that the latter requires that you do a page submit with the
onclick of the link / button

Thanks for the quick response, Bastien.
I was thinking that using hidden fields may be another way to go. But how
would I assign a value to a form variable via clicking on a link?
