Hi I have been trying to get this script working I copied it from a tutorial but carnt seem to get it to work. I have changed the database connection details back for obvious reasons. Can anybody tell me where I am going wrong with this? <?php // database connection info $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $db = mysql_select_db('dbname',$conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); // find out how many rows are in the table $sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM news"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $r = mysql_fetch_row($result); $numrows = $r[0]; // number of rows to show per page $rowsperpage = 10; // find out total pages $totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage); // get the current page or set a default if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) { // cast var as int $currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage']; } else { // default page num $currentpage = 1; } // end if // if current page is greater than total pages... if ($currentpage > $totalpages) { // set current page to last page $currentpage = $totalpages; } // end if // if current page is less than first page... if ($currentpage < 1) { // set current page to first page $currentpage = 1; } // end if // the offset of the list, based on current page $offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage; // get the info from the db $sql = "SELECT *, number FROM news LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage"; $result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); // while there are rows to be fetched... while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // echo data echo $list['id'] . " : " . $list['title'] . "<br />"; } // end while if ($result > 0) { //build the pagination links // range of title links to show $range = 3; // if not on page 1, don't show back links if ($currentpage > 1) { // show << link to go back to page 1 echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=1'><<</a> "; // get previous page num $prevpage = $currentpage - 1; // show < link to go back to 1 page echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$prevpage'><</a> "; } // end if // loop to show links to range of pages around current page for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) { // if it's a valid page number... if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) { // if we're on current page... if ($x == $currentpage) { // 'highlight' it but don't make a link echo " [<b>$x</b>] "; // if not current page... } else { // make it a link echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$x'>$x</a> "; } // end else } // end if } // end for // if not on last page, show forward and last page links if ($currentpage != $totalpages) { // get next page $nextpage = $currentpage + 1; // echo forward link for next page echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$nextpage'>></a> "; // echo forward link for lastpage echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$totalpages'>>></a> "; } // end if } ?> PHP:
Try this: <?php $conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password') or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $db = mysql_select_db('dbname',$conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); // find out how many rows are in the table $query = 'SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `news`'; $result = mysql_query($query); $query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result); $numrows = $query_data[0]; // number of rows to show per page $rowsperpage = 10; // find out total pages $totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage); // get the current page or set a default if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) { // cast var as int $currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage']; } else { // default page num $currentpage = 1; } // end if // if current page is greater than total pages... if ($currentpage > $totalpages) { // set current page to last page $currentpage = $totalpages; } // end if // if current page is less than first page... if ($currentpage < 1) { // set current page to first page $currentpage = 1; } // end if // the offset of the list, based on current page $offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage; // get the info from the db $sql = "SELECT * FROM news LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage"; $result = mysql_query($sql) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); // while there are rows to be fetched... while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) { // echo data echo $list['id'] .
