Re: Re: Search Results - Next 10 records

hi ...and to be able to know the exact number of pages do $result = mysql_query("select count(*)...."); $nb_pages = $result/$nb_records_per_page; et voila! add this to marcus's suggestion and you have a full paging script, if you want some inspiration check out http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com i believe they have a class that does exactly that; regards At 14:02 03/09/01, Marcus Tobias wrote:

Hi Dennis! You can add the parameter "LIMIT" to your SQL query. Syntax: LIMIT $start_record,$record_count Example: $query_string = "select * from $table where keywords like '%$keyword%' limit 5,3"; This will return 3 records started with the 5. found record. The startrecord has to increase on next page. Store the current startrecord in the form and send it to the next page. bye Marcus "Dennis" <dennisb@unix.asb.com> schrieb im Newsbeitrag news:20010903014505.81682.qmail@pb1.pair.com... Trying to figure out how to limit search results to say 10 records and produce a button to show the next 10. Do you use PHP to do the logic, or should I make another table column for a temporary count? This is what I'm up to so far... Thanks in advance function show_all($table, $keyword=0)// initialize to zero {

    global $start_record;

    if ( !isset( $start_record ) ) $start_record = 0;

$query_string = "select * from $table where keywords like '%$keyword%'"; $query_string = "select * from $table where keywords like '%$keyword%' limit $start_record,10"; $entire_table = mysql_query($query_string); $count = 0; print("<TABLE BORDER=1 width=700>\n");

    while ($cols_rows = mysql_fetch_array($entire_table)) {
     $count++;
      if ($count < 4){
        print("<tr>");
        print("<td bgcolor=azure>");
        print("<font size=3>");
        print ($cols_rows['num']);
        print("</td><td bgcolor=azure>");

        print("<font size=2>");
        print ($cols_rows['url']);
        print("<P></td>");
      }

    if ($count > 3){
        print("<tr>");
        print("<td bgcolor=silver>");
        print("<font size=3>");
