I have the below code, and am very close on getting it to work. It shows the children’s names, and any other information I ask it for, but I can not get the next button to work. Any thoughts? I am sure that I am just missing something, this is a script I found on line, that is suppose to perform a search and provide next and prev buttons. The search is working.

PHP Code:


<html>

<head>

</head>



<body>



<form name="form" action="searchscript.php" method="get">

  <input type="text" name="q" />

  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" />

</form>



<?php



  // Get the search variable from URL



  $var = @$_GET['q'] ;

  $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable



// rows to return

$limit=1; 



// check for an empty string and display a message.

if ($trimmed == "")

  {

  echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>";

  exit;

  }



// check for a search parameter

if (!isset($var))

  {

  echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>";

  exit;

  }



//connect to your database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **

mysql_connect("xxx","yyy","zzz"); //(host, username, password)



//specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **

mysql_select_db("ddd") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database we're using



// Build SQL Query  

$query = "SELECT * FROM sponsor WHERE checkSponsorChild LIKE \"%$trimmed%\" ORDER BY id ";  // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query

 



 $numresults=mysql_query($query);

 $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);



// If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative



if ($numrows == 0)

  {

  echo "<h4>Results</h4>";

  echo "<p>Sorry, your search: &quot;" . $trimmed . "&quot; returned zero results</p>";



// google

 echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=" 

  . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up 

  " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here</a> to try the 

  search on google</p>";

  }



// next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0

  if (empty($s)) {

  $s=0;

  }



// get results

  $query .= " limit $s,$limit";

  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query");



// display what the person searched for

echo "<p>You searched for: &quot;" . $var . "&quot;</p>";



// begin to show results set

echo "Results";

$count = 1 + $s ;

$childrenInfo['childsName'] ."\r\n";

// now you can display the results returned

  while ($childrenInfo= mysql_fetch_array($result)) {

  $title = $childrenInfo['childsName'];



  echo "$count.)&nbsp;$title" ;

  $count++ ;

  }



$currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1);



//break before paging

  echo "<br />";



  // next we need to do the links to other results

  if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0

  $prevs=($s-$limit);

  print "&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var\"></a>&nbsp&nbsp;";

  }



// calculate number of pages needing links

  $pages=intval($numrows/$limit);



// $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division



  if ($numrows%$limit) {

  // has remainder so add one page

  $pages++;

  }



// check to see if last page

  if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {



  // not last page so give NEXT link

  $news=$s+$limit;



  echo "&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next</a>";

  }



$a = $s + ($limit) ;

  if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; }

  $b = $s + 1 ;

  echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>";

  

?>

Sorry for the late response, but here is the fixed code (tested and works as long as the SQL data is present). My changes are below in red.

Code:

<html>
<head>
</head>

<body>

<form name="form" action="searchscript.php" method="get">
  <input type="text" name="q" />
  <input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Search" />
</form>

<?php

  // Get the search variable from URL

  $var = @$_GET['q'] ;
  $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable

// rows to return
$limit=1; 

// check for an empty string and display a message.
if ($trimmed == "")
  {
  echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>";
  exit;
  }

// check for a search parameter
if (!isset($var))
  {
  echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>";
  exit;
  }

//connect to your database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_connect("xxx","yyy","zzz"); //(host, username, password)

//specify database ** EDIT REQUIRED HERE **
mysql_select_db("ddd") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database we're using

// Build SQL Query  
$query = "SELECT * FROM `sponsor` WHERE `checkSponsorChild` LIKE '&#37;$trimmed%' ORDER BY `id`";  // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query
 

 $numresults=mysql_query($query);
 $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);

// If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative

if ($numrows == 0)
  {
  echo "<h4>Results</h4>";
  echo "<p>Sorry, your search: &quot;" . $trimmed . "&quot; returned zero results</p>";

// google
 echo "<p><a href=\"http://www.google.com/search?q=" 
  . $trimmed . "\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Look up 
  " . $trimmed . " on Google\">Click here</a> to try the 
  search on google</p>";
  }

// next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0
 
if (empty($_GET['s'])) {
  $s=0;
  }

  else {
  $s = $_GET['s'];
  }


// get results
  $query .= " LIMIT $s,$limit";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query");

// display what the person searched for
echo "<p>You searched for: &quot;" . $var . "&quot;</p>";

// begin to show results set
echo "Results";
$count = 1 + $s ;
$childrenInfo['childsName'] ."\r\n";
// now you can display the results returned
  while ($childrenInfo= mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
  $title = $childrenInfo['childsName'];

  echo "$count.)&nbsp;$title" ;
  $count++ ;
  }

$currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1);

//break before paging
  echo "<br />";

  // next we need to do the links to other results
  if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0
  $prevs=($s-$limit);
  print "&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&q=$var\">Previous</a>&nbsp&nbsp;";
  }

// calculate number of pages needing links
  $pages=intval($numrows/$limit);

// $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division

  if ($numrows%$limit) {
  // has remainder so add one page
  $pages++;
  }

// check to see if last page
  if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {

  // not last page so give NEXT link
  $news=$s+$limit;

  echo "&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&q=$var\">Next</a>";
  }

$a = $s + ($limit) ;
  if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; }
  $b = $s + 1 ;
  echo "<p>Showing results $b to $a of $numrows</p>";
  
?>

</body>
</html>

Hope this helps. If it doesn't work for you, let me know.
