Hi friends............
I want to paginate my page but it not works properly.
It displays first 2 rows but on clicking "Next" nothing happens.
It displays error also "Notice: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in C:\wamp\www\NGOProject\Elite Brigade\pagination.php on line 112" and "Notice: Undefined index: page_test.php in C:\wamp\www\NGOProject\Elite Brigade\pagination.php on line 124".........
I don't know what to do??????
please help me anyone???????

Is there a way of doing pagination other than going through the whole big file, like:

Code: [Select]
$limit = "LIMIT 0, 30";
if ($_GET['page'] == 2) {
$limit = "LIMIT 30, 30";
}
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE blah = 'blah' $limit";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
But is there a way to do this without having to write an if statement for each page without getting to extensive? Thanks!

Code: [Select]
<?php
$title="Search";
$metakeywords="search, find";
$metadescription="Search for your love!";
include ('header.php');

$getpage=clean_up($_GET['page']);
$getpage = abs((int) ($getpage));

the errors are coming from the setcookie lines. any idea why its spitting out that?

and when I search, the results don't come out to two results per page. so the pagination isn't working right and i am getting those errors. any ideas?

Hello! I have a database of small image / names that I want to pull into a 3 x 4 table. My current code works perfectly if I have 12 images or less, but I will have more than 12 images. Currently the code is set up to retrieve and display the images in a table, three per table row. I want it so that when it reaches the 4th row in a page it generates a link to another page that has the next 3 x 4 (12 total images) page.  I tried to follow the code on http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/basic-pagination, but after I get it to what I think it should be, my page is blank -- but not due to an error, it's just blank. My code so far is:

<?php


$username = "xxxx";
$password = "xxxxx";
$host = "localhost";
$database = "images";
$conn = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die("Can not connect to database: ".mysql_error());

$db = mysql_select_db($database) or die("Can not select the database: ".mysql_error());

$sql = "SELECT * FROM block_work ORDER BY Name";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

header('Content-type: image/jpg');
$counter = 0;
while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
if($counter==0) print "<tr align='center'>";
++$counter;


print "<td align='center' width='179' height='200'><img src='/management/show.php?id=" . $row['id'] . "&table=block_work' alt='" . $row['name'] . "' /><br/>";

Thanks very much for any help!

The problem here is my pagination. It works for the most part. The only part that does NOT work is that when I go to a page OTHER THAN the first page it WILL NOT allow me to click on the edit link and go to the edit matchtype form. It allows me to on the first page of list but not for any after that.

Code: [Select]
<?php

Hi guys,

I have a question about pagination. It's not really about the coding side so I'm really sorry if this is the wrong section!

Ok my question is, does pagination actually create multiple pages? I'm really new to PHP and I'm just reading through different things and tutorials to try and figure it out if you will.


So does it create new pages? From my understanding it simply changes a variable to a page number and uses that page number (and simple matH) to figure out what rows to show. If this is the case, how do people use pagination to create links such as http://example.com/imnooby/page-1
http://example.com/imnooby/page-2
http://example.com/imnooby/page-3

Surely if this was all just one page, it would just be http://example.com/imnooby/page and the variable would change depending on the button, but the same page would be reloaded?

This is the part that's really bugging me and any explanation would really help.

I need a little help trying to figure this out.

I have a page that pulls up data, you can then click on one and go to a page with more detail. On this page you can use the PRrev & Next to go view another detail page on other data. My problem is if my 1st page has 6 sets of data on it but has a total of, say 50, you can only use the Prev & Next to view the 6. I want to be able to use the Prev & Next to go thru all 50.

ie
Page1 pulls this info
data1 data2 data3 data4 data5 data6 < << 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 > >> 


Page2

Data 1
Lots of info about data 1

< Prev  Next >

You will only be able to view the 6 data sets in the table above, however there are 50 I want to be able to use
the < Prev  Next > to go to all of them


Can someone help me with this?

here is my code

hi ive simple code. but i would need help how to do pagination. ive followed one tutorial and ive code.but i really dont know how to connect these.or if its even possible to connect.

heres the index.php file

Code: [Select]
<?php

include '_class/cms_class.php';

$obj = new modernCMS();

$obj->host =  'localhost';
$obj->username =  'root';

$obj->connect();

Heres the pagination code ihave
Code: [Select]
<?php

include 'db.inc.php';
$per_page = 2;



$pages_query = mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(`id`) FROM `cms_content`");
$pages = ceil(mysql_result($pages_query, 0) / $per_page);

$page = (isset($_GET['page'])) ? (int)$_GET['page'] : 1;
$start = ($page - 1) * $per_page;

$query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `cms_content` LIMIT $start, $per_page");
while ($query_row = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {

echo '<p>', $query_row['title']   ,'</p>';
echo '<p>', $query_row['body']   ,'</p>';


}

if ($pages >=1 && $page <= $pages) {

for ($x=1; $x<=$pages; $x++) {
echo ($x == $page) ? '<strong><a href="?page=' .$x. '">' .$x. '</a></strong>  ' : '<a href="?page=' .$x. '">' .$x. '</a> ';

thanks.

Sorry to bug yalls with yet another problem, but I tried applying pagination to the page I use to display the news on my website, which is stored within mysql, and I'm having major issues. Here's the code below for both the pagination and getting the news out of the database to display. Not sure what's going on here. I tested the script and it does everything fine except it doesn't display the information stored within the database.

Go here to see for yourself:
http://www.djsmiley.net/index.php

Code: [Select]
<?php
/*
Place code to connect to your DB here.
*/
include('cms/news/dbconnect.php'); // include your code to connect to DB.

$tbl_name="mynews"; //your table name
// How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
$adjacents = 3;

/* 
   First get total number of rows in data table. 
   If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
*/

I am building my uncle an online music catalogue and am trying to use pagination http://www.phpeasycode.com/pagination/ but for some reason it is only showing the cat_id data from the databse and even then its only the last entry.

I need it to show all cat_id, song, artist and year from the database and not just the same ones over and over again.

Here is a link to the page so you can see whats happening: http://www.nealeweb.com/steven2/

And here is the code, Can anybody tell me where i have gone wrong please.
Code: [Select]
$rpp = 24; // results per page
$adjacents = 4;

$page = intval($_GET["page"]);
if($page<=0) $page = 1;

$reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

// connect to your DB:
$dbHost = "";
$dbUser = "";
$dbPass = "";
$dbname = "";

$db = mysql_connect($dbHost,$dbUser,$dbPass);
mysql_select_db($dbname,$db);

// select appropriate results from DB:
$requete = "SELECT cat_id, song, artist, year FROM tracks ORDER BY cat_id asc";
$result = mysql_query ($requete,$db);

// count total number of appropriate listings:
$tcount = mysql_num_rows($result);

// count number of pages:
$tpages = ($tcount) ? ceil($tcount/$rpp) : 1; // total pages, last page number

$count = 0;
$i = ($page-1)*$rpp;
while(($count<$rpp) && ($i<$tcount)) {
    mysql_data_seek($result,$i);
    $query = mysql_fetch_array($result);

    // output each row:
    echo'<tr>
                        <td valign="top" width="112" height="27"><span class="font">'.$catno.'</span></td>
                        <td valign="top" width="536" height="27"><span class="font">'.$songname.'</span></td>
                        <td valign="top"><span class="font" height="27">'.$artistname.'</span></td>
                        <td valign="top" width="80" height="27"><span class="font">'.$ryear.'</span></td>
                    </tr>';

    $i++;
    $count++;
}

// call pagination function:
include("paginate.php");
echo paginate_three($reload, $page, $tpages, $adjacents);
