I'm using "firstname" and "Lastname" fields instead of "fullname" so I can have a search and order by last name. But I need to have both the first and lastname in the page URL. It seems the filename field only uses the first file name listed. How can I combine them for the URL?

example:
agent.php?firstname-lastname-1

Hi Darryl,

You can construct these URL's manually to use more than one field.

For example:

<a href = "agent.php?<?php echo $record['firstname'];?>-<?php echo $record['lastname'];?>-<?php echo $record['num'];?>" >LINK</a>

You can combine as many fields as you want in this way, so long as num is the last one.

Hope this helps
