Paginando via post com session

Olá meus amigos!

Estou tentando fazer uma paginação via $_POST ultilizando SESSION para passar as variáves adiante, pra quando o usuário avançar ou retornar as paginas a busca realizada continue fluindo.

 

Com $_GET eu consigo paginar normal, porém, acho que fica mais vulnerável, e com SESSION tudo ficaria mais legal.

Está aí o meu código abaixo, alguém pode ma ajudar, por gentileza?

<?php
session_start();
include "../db_connect.php";

?>
<form action="search.php" method="post">
 <input type="text" name="name" />
 <select name="type">
 <option value="all">All</option>
 <?php
 // there is array for those
 foreach($sort_by_s AS $num => $type) {
 echo "<option value=\"".$num."\">".$type."</option>\n";
 }
 ?>
 </select>
 <select name="encoder">
 <option value="all">All</option>
 <?php
 // there is array for those
 foreach($encoders AS $e) {
 echo "<option value=\"".$e."\">".$e."</option>\n";
 }
 ?>
 </select>
 <input type="submit" name="search" value="Search"/>
</form>
<?php
if(isset($_POST['search'])) {
 //gets user input from form
 $name = $_POST['name'];
 $type = $_POST['type'];
 $encoder = $_POST['encoder'];

 //checks if name and type and encoder are selected
 if($name && $type && $encoder) {
 //name must be more than 2 chars
 if(strlen($name) < 2) {
 echo $name . " " . $type . " " . $encoder . "<br />shorts";
 }else {
 // if type isn't selected then make it empty
 if($type == "all") {
 $type = "";
 //otherwise search from db for selected type
 }else {
 $type = " AND `type`='".$type."'";
 }

 //if encoder isn't selected make it empty
 if($encoder == "all") {
 $encoder = "";
 //otherwise search from db for selected encoder
 }else {
 $encoder = " AND `encoder`='".$encoder."'";
 }

 // search query based on the checking on top
 $searchSql = "SELECT * FROM `mov_index` WHERE `display`='1' AND `title` LIKE '%".$name."%' ".$type.$encoder;
 #echo $sql;
 $_SESSION['searchSql'] = $searchSql;
 //echo $_SESSION['searchSql'];

 //pagination security
 $page =(!$_GET['page'] || $_GET['page'] < 0) ? "1" : $_GET['page'];
 $page = ceil($page);

 $limit = 25;
 $start = $limit;
 $end = $page*$limit-($limit);

 if(isset($_GET['page'])) {
 if(!is_int($start) && !is_int($end)) {
 echo "ERRRORR";
 die;
 }elseif($start < 0 || $end < 0) {
 echo "ERRRORR";
 die;
 }
 }
 //end of pagination security

 //selects first 25 results from search query
 $select_res = mysql_query($_SESSION['searchSql']." ORDER BY title DESC LIMIT ".$end.",".$start."") or die(mysql_error());
 while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($select_res)) {
 //display results here
 }

 //pagination starts
 //amount check is search query
 $amount_check = $_SESSION['searchSql'];
 $amount_check_res = mysql_query($amount_check) or die(mysql_error());
 $amount_count = mysql_num_rows($amount_check_res);
 $pages = ceil($amount_count/$limit);
 $pag = $page - 1;

 $pagesystem = "";
 if($pages == 0) {
 $pagesystem .= "No pages";
 }else {
 if($pages == 1) {
 $pagesystem .= "Page 1";
 }else {
 if($pag == 0) {
 $pagesystem .= "« First ";
 }else {
 $pagesystem .= "<a href=\"search.php?page=1\">« First</a> ";
 }
 if($pages > 1) {
 if($page > 1) {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page - 1)."\">Prev.</a> ";
 }else {
 $pagesystem .= " Prev. ";
 }
 if(($page - 2) >= 1) {
 if(($page -2) > 1) {
 $pagesystem .= "...";
 }
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page - 2)."\">".($page - 2)."</a> <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page - 1)."\">".($page - 1)."</a> ";
 }else {
 if(($page - 1) >= 1) {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page - 1)."\">".($page - 1). "</a> ";
 }
 }
 }
 $pagesystem .= $page . " ";

 if($pages > 1) {
 if(($page + 2) <= $pages) {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page + 1)."\">".($page + 1)."</a> <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page + 2)."\">".($page + 2)."</a> ";
 if(($page + 2) < $pages) {
 $pagesystem .= "...";
 }
 }else {
 if(($page + 1) <= $pages) {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page + 1)."\">".($page + 1)."</a> ";
 }
 }
 if($page < $pages) {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($page + 1)."\">Next</a> ";
 }else {
 $pagesystem .= " Next ";
 }
 }

 if($page == $pages) {
 $pagesystem .= " Last »";
 }else {
 $pagesystem .= " <a href=\"search.php?page=".($pages)."\">Last »</a> ";
 }
 }
 }
 //display pagination
 echo $pagesystem;
 }
 }// end of if($name && $type && $encoder)
}//end of if(isset[post[search]])

Sei que com $_GET é mais viável, mas prefiro com SESSION!
