PHP - Requesting Suggestion About My Programming Future

Hi:

I am trying to request an id to do a transfer back to a page, but am having difficulties.

This is on a page where a person can add a new section, which gets assigned a unique id.

I am trying to send the user to the page where they can edit the new page, once it has been created.

Like this:

a_websiteDataADD.php
Code: [Select]
<?php
$id = $_REQUEST['id'];
?>

...

<script language="JavaScript">
alert("The new section was added!");
location.href = "a_websiteData.php?id=[id]";
</script>

What am I missing on this ??

Hi   What is the best recommended way to "sort through" and "place certain data" into a sql table?   For example, I create a input form.php      Company Name: 

The Blah Company

Product/Industry

Dedicated Servers

HTML Source Code

<div class="allservers">

Submit Button --> sends to the "sorting process?" than into proper DB tables for search query.        Ultimately, there I require to be able to pull from my DB upon query, pricing, hardware, processor, etc..

Any recommendation for me to try? I'm new to PHP but I want to learn and do it myself (better after effect feeling than paying someone)

Hi there,  I have a question, which I seem to be unable to find out myself;    I have my own webshop (coded by myself), and trying to add multiple configurable options into it, each option having their own stock limit.    Here is the problem:  I am trying to implement AJAX for the following:  Lets say: Customer wants Product A with Config 1: A, Config 2: C and Config 3: C Lets say config 1 is length, Config 2 is design of the product, and config 3 is the dimension of the product.  Config 1 Option A has 12 items in stock  Config 2 Option C has 7 items in stock  Config 3 Option C has 1 item in stock.    Here is my question:  How do I implement AJAX to check all these variables (so lets say: You have Config A with Option A (12 stock) B (16 stock) and C(109 stock), etc, and when she selects for example Config 3 Option C, that she can ONLY order 1 of the items, and if she tries to put the order in higher (in the selector) that it sais that with the current configuration only 1 order can be made?

Hi all. 

I have been trying something for 2 days, having no success and was hoping someone could help.  I know this is a long post but it's mostly just php code below. 

I'm trying to do "pagination" for a script that I came across.  First of all.. I am not a programmer in any way.  I didn't even know what pagination was until 2 days ago when I was trying to explain what I wanted in a forum and was educated.  So.. off to Google I went.  I found all kinds of "free pagination" script articles with "how-to's".  Well.. I think you need to at least have an idea of how to program becuase I've tried 4 now and failed every time.  Or... maybe I'm just the world's worst at understanding programming concepts (very possible).  I really have spent just hours and hours trying to make pagination happen.. to no avail. 

So.. if you know an easier way, please share!  Or.. If you care to read on and help with the pagination script I've been trying to make work, that would be awesome.  Either way, I would be most grateful! 

Here's what I got and what I've tried..

My index.php page:

Code: [Select]
<?php 
include_once('inc_dbcon.php'); 
require_once('admin/config.php');
require_once($languageFile);

$previewLength = 240;

// check to see if in admin mode and validate key
global $keyOut;
$keyOut = "";
if (isset($_GET["k"]))
if($_GET["k"] == $key){ // Key comes from admin/password.php file
$keyOut = "&k=" . $key;
}

global $category;
$category = "%";
if (isset($_GET["category"]))
$category = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["category"]);

$msg = "";

$msg = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["msg"]);

// SEARCH CODE START
$searchQuery = "";

$searchQuery = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET["q"]);

if ($searchQuery != "")

  $totalRows_Recordset1 = mysql_num_rows($all_Recordset1);

    }
  }

  }

I've trying to use the pagination script from:  http://www.phpeasycode.com/pagination/

Here's the "usage example" that is in the pagination script:
Code: [Select]
<?php

$rpp = 10; // results per page
$adjacents = 4;

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

$reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

// connect to your DB:
$link_id = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db($dbname, $link_id);

// select appropriate results from DB:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM table_name WHERE table_field LIKE '%search string%' ORDER BY field_name";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id);

// 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 "<p>" . $query['table_field_1'] . ", " . $query['table_field_2'] . "</p>\n";

    $i++;
    $count++;
}

// call pagination function:
include("paginate.php");
echo paginate_three($reload, $page, $tpages, $adjacents);
?>
The pagination script also comes with a demo.php.   I uploaded that and it works just great.  But.. when I try to incorporate the above usage into my index.php, I fail miserably. 
So.. If you prefer, I can copy index.php with what I've tried.. which is apparently very wrong.  The page I tried it in is he   http://justtesting.freehosting.com/indexPaginate.php

So.. if anyone is able to tell me how they'd incorporate the usage script into the index.php, that would solve my 2 day dilemna and I would be eternally grateful. 

If you want to login to my test version (feel free to edit as this is purely a test site), it's he
