yes, it probably is. but it all depends on what "featurs" you want for 
your function.

some questions first:

*) where is is function being called from? an extension (extends 
tslib_pibase)? If so, why instantiate a new cobj, and not use $this->cObj

*) why use "current" if you set it first, in stead of setting the 
parameter directly?

*)what do you mean with "create only pagename with parameters"?

*) what other features / what do you mean by "don't get it to work", I 
mean: what output do you get then?

*) if this is for an extension, why not use $this->piVars (which 
corresponds to (more or less) array_merge($_POST['your_ext_pi1'], 
$_GET['your_ext_pi1']) and thus to <input name="your_ext_pi1[myfield]"> etc)
putting *all* the post and get variables to create the links seems a bit 
drastic. furthermore, if a parameter is in both get and post, it's added 
twice. I'd merge the arrays first, and then do one loop for both.

cherio,
Luite
