Pagination Error

[thetestingsite]

$nextTxt = '<a href="">Next>></a>'; // Echo next page link
...an actual HREF might be helpful
$nav .= ' <a href="">'.$i.'</a> '; // Echo link to the page
...same

Also noted the

if ($page_num > 1) {
$prev = $pag_nume ...
}

Shouldn't that be page_num?

Now as far as the page not showing up anything (just blank), or is it showing up the page links at least? Nowhere in your code (the code you posted at least) does it show anything about displaying (spelling?) stuff.

It could be something else in your code (the part[s] you are not posting.

Hope this helps.

Well, I am trying to have pagination to limit the amount of links showed on a page in a link manager. There are also some member view scripts that I would like to use this on. I am attempting to use things that I have seen, so I could be totally wrong in what I am doing. If anyone would be so kind, could you show me what a pagination script should look like? Thanks again

[thetestingsite]

Well, that's all the pagination script does with the exception of a few things. I don't have time to post a code example, because I am getting ready for work right now. As soon as I get in I will post an example for you, unless someone else does before.

Ok, thanks. I myself am getting ready for work at the moment, so I understand the lack of time

<?php

##### Pagination Example (Not Tested, but should work) #####
$page = $_GET['page']; //request and assign the page variable

$max = 20; //how many results per page


$start = ($page * $max);


$count_results = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `links` ORDER BY id DESC"); // Get data from database

$count_total = mysql_num_rows($count_results); // Count lines in database

$total_pages = ceil($count_total / $max); // Total results divided by max to display

if($page > 1) { // Is the page # more than one?

    $prev = ($page - 1); // If yes, take one away from current page
    $prevTxt = '<a href="?page='.$prev.'">&lt;&lt;Previous</a>'; 
} 

$nav = ' ';

for($i == 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++) // For each page number

    if($page == $i) { // If page = current page
    
        $nav .= '<b>'.$i.'</b>'; // Echo page in bold
    } else {
    
        $nav .= ' <a href="?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> '; // Echo link to the page
    }
    
if($page < $total_pages) { // Is there another page?

    $next = ($page + 1); // If so, add 1 to current page
    $nextTxt = '<a href="?page='.$next.'">Next>></a>'; // Echo next page link
}

##### End Pagination and Start Displaying the page #####

$info = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `links` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $start, $max"); // Get data from database and limit to the max results

   while ($qry = mysql_fetch_array($info)) {
        $link = $qry['link'];

       echo '<div>'.$link.'</div> <br>';
   }

echo 'Pages: '.$prevTxt . $nav . $nextTxt; //display the page links
?>

That will produce anything that is extracted from the sql for that page. You may want to play around with it a little bit, but the script should work with very little modification.

Hope this helps.

Well, I wrote out a new script and it works pretty good. There are a few errors though. The first is that it seems to display results in reverse order. The second is that the last page is not displayed. Here is the code:

<?php

// If page is set
if($_GET['page'] && is_numeric($_GET['page'])) {
    $page = $_GET['page'];
}

// Set default page
else {
    $page = 1;
}

// Max results per page
$max = 2;
// Current page
$cur = (($page * $max) - $max);

// Get data
$qry = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `test`");
$total = mysql_num_rows($qry); // count results

// Get amount of pages
$total_pages = ($total / $max);

// Run query
    $sql = "SELECT * FROM `test` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $cur, $max";
    $result = mysql_query($sql) or die ('Error Getting Data! <br />' .mysql_error());
    
// Is page # more than one
if($page > 1) {
    $prev = ($page - 1);
    $prevLink = '<a href="?page='.$prev.'">&lt;&lt;Previous</a>';
}

// For each page less than total pages
for($i==1;$i<=$total_pages;$i++) {
    // If page = current page
    if($page == $i) {
        $nav .= ' <b>'.$i.'</b> ';
    } else {
        // Echo link to previous page
        $nav .= ' <a href="?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> ';
    }
}

// If page is less than total pages, show next link
if($page < $total_pages) {
    $next = ($page + 1);
    $nextLink = '<a href="?page='.$next.'">Next&gt;&gt;</a>';
}

########## End Pagination Script ##########

$info = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `test` ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $cur, $max");

    while($row = mysql_fetch_array($info)) {
        echo ''.$row['title'].'
        <br />';
    }

echo 'Pages: '.$prevLink . $nav . $nextLink;
?>

Thanks for the help

This will work

<?php

$max = 2; // max number of results

// Calculate paging
if ((isset($_GET['page'])) && (is_numeric($_GET['page']))) {
    $page = $_GET['page'];
    if ($page == 0) {$page = 1;} // just in case someone put in 0 for the page
} else { $page = 1; }
    
$offset = ($page-1)*$max; // offset of the query
$qlimit =  " LIMIT {$offset},{$max}"; // limit part of the query

// Build the query
$order = " ORDER BY id DESC"; // method of order
$basequery = "SELECT * FROM test" . $order;
$query = $basequery . $qlimit;

// Show pages links
$pttl = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($basequery)) or die ('Error Getting Data! <br />' .mysql_error());
$numpages = ceil($pttl/$max); // count the number of pages
$pagelinks = NULL; // define a variable for the page links

// If theres more than 1 page
if ($numpages > 1) {    
    $prev = $page-1; $next = $page+1; // set previous and next
    
    // if its not page 1 show previous link
    if ($page > 1) {$pagelinks .= " <a href=\"?page={$prev}\">&lt;&lt;Previous</a>&nbsp;";}
    
    // print the links
    for ($p = 1; $p <= $numpages; $p++) {
        // if its the current page make it bold
        if ($p == $page) {$pagelinks .= " <b>{$p}</b>";}
        // else make it a link
        else {$pagelinks .= " <a href=\"?page={$p}\">{$p}</a>";}
    }
    
    // if its not the last page print the next link
    if ($page < $numpages) {$pagelinks .= "&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"?page={$next}\">Next&gt;&gt;</a> ";}
    
    // finally build the final page links
    $pagelinks = "Pages ({$numpages}):{$pagelinks}";
}

// Run the query
$results = mysql_query($query) or die ('Error Getting Data! <br />' .mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($results)) {
    echo $row['title'] . "<br />";
}

echo $pagelinks; // print the pagelinks

?>

I tried using your code, mechatama25 and when I try to go to the page, the page will load extremely slow, but the rest of the pages on the server don't. Then sometimes it will not load, but when it does, nothing is there. I could be wrong, but it seems to me like the code is intentionally made to do something to the server to slow it down.

Titan, the code you posted just after my example does in fact work with very little modification. For a test of it, simply check out this page. If you would like the source code, click here. The sql data is here.

Let me know if you need any further help.

Yeah, it works mostly, but there is an error (or perhaps lack of code) in displaying the page number link (1,2,3,etc). On the first page, it shows 1 in bold, but not 2, and on page 2, it displays the link to page 1, but not the current page in bold. Is this just a part of code missing? thanks again
