Quesion: Show each movie in the database on its own page, and give the user links in a "page 1, Page 2, Page 3" - type navigation system. Hint: Use LIMIT to control which movie is on which page. I have provided 3 files: 1st: configure DB, 2nd: insert data, 3rd: my code for the question. I would appreciate the help. I am a noob by the way.

First set up everything for DB:

<?php
//connect to MySQL
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '000') or
    die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

//create the main database if it doesn't already exist
$query = 'CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS moviesite';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//make sure our recently created database is the active one
mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the movie table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movie (
        movie_id        INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        movie_name      VARCHAR(255)      NOT NULL,
        movie_type      TINYINT           NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_year      SMALLINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_leadactor INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        movie_director  INTEGER UNSIGNED  NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

        PRIMARY KEY (movie_id),
        KEY movie_type (movie_type, movie_year)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die (mysql_error($db));

//create the movietype table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE movietype (
        movietype_id    TINYINT UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        movietype_label VARCHAR(100)     NOT NULL,
        PRIMARY KEY (movietype_id)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//create the people table
$query = 'CREATE TABLE people (
        people_id         INTEGER UNSIGNED    NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
        people_fullname   VARCHAR(255)        NOT NULL,
        people_isactor    TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,
        people_isdirector TINYINT(1) UNSIGNED NOT NULL DEFAULT 0,

        PRIMARY KEY (people_id)
    )
    ENGINE=MyISAM';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

echo 'Movie database successfully created!';
?>

second file to load info into DB:



<?php
// connect to MySQL
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '000') or
    die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

//make sure you're using the correct database
mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

// insert data into the movie table
$query = 'INSERT INTO movie
        (movie_id, movie_name, movie_type, movie_year, movie_leadactor,
        movie_director)
    VALUES
        (1, "Bruce Almighty", 5, 2003, 1, 2),
        (2, "Office Space", 5, 1999, 5, 6),
        (3, "Grand Canyon", 2, 1991, 4, 3)';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

// insert data into the movietype table
$query = 'INSERT INTO movietype
        (movietype_id, movietype_label)
    VALUES
        (1,"Sci Fi"),
        (2, "Drama"),
        (3, "Adventure"),
        (4, "War"),
        (5, "Comedy"),
        (6, "Horror"),
        (7, "Action"),
        (8, "Kids")';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

// insert data into the people table
$query  = 'INSERT INTO people
        (people_id, people_fullname, people_isactor, people_isdirector)
    VALUES
        (1, "Jim Carrey", 1, 0),
        (2, "Tom Shadyac", 0, 1),
        (3, "Lawrence Kasdan", 0, 1),
        (4, "Kevin Kline", 1, 0),
        (5, "Ron Livingston", 1, 0),
        (6, "Mike Judge", 0, 1)';
mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

echo 'Data inserted successfully!';
?>

MY CODE FOR THE QUESTION:


<?php
$db = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '000') or
die ('Unable to connect. Check your connection parameters.');

mysql_select_db('moviesite', $db) or die(mysql_error($db));

//get our starting point for the query from the URL
if (isset($_GET['offset'])) {
   $offset = $_GET['offset'];
} else {
   $offset = 0;
}

//get the movie
$query  = 'SELECT
   movie_name, movie_year
FROM
   movie
ORDER BY
   movie_name
LIMIT ' . $offset . ' , 1';
$result = mysql_query($query, $db) or die(mysql_error($db));
$row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result);
?>
<html>
<head>
<title><?php echo $row['movie_name']; ?></title>
</head>
<body>
<table border = "1">

<th>Movie Name</th>
<th>Year</th>

Some code from my pages ,   Page1 ( Redirecting page )

<html>
<title>login_redirect.</title>
body>

<form name="redirect" action="http://mysite/page2.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="mac" value="$(mac)">
</form>

<script language="JavaScript">
<!--
document.redirect.submit();
//-->
</script>
</body>
</html>

Page 2 ( select product )

<?php


session_start();

ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

include '../lib/config.php';
include '../lib/opendb.php';

// get user mac adres from redirect post page1
$_SESSION['macid'] = $_POST['mac'];
// set $macid for other use ( maybe not needed, am learning )
$macid = $_SESSION['macid'];

// echo $macid does show mac adress, so variable is not empty here


if (!empty($_POST["submit"]))

{
$product_choice = $_POST['accounttype'];
$query= "SELECT AccountIndex, AccountCost, AccountName FROM AccountTypes WHERE AccountIndex='$product_choice'";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die('Query failed. ' . mysql_error()); 
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
$_SESSION['AccountIndex'] = $row['AccountIndex'];
$_SESSION['AccountCost'] = $row['AccountCost'];
$_SESSION['AccountName'] = $row['AccountName'];
}


header('Location: page3.php');

}

// did leave out the other/html/form stuff here

Page 3 ( show Session variables )

<?php


ini_set('display_errors',1);
error_reporting(E_ALL); 

session_start();

print_r($_SESSION);

?>

Now, on page 3 i do see the right session varables, only the "macid" is empty.   why ?
