Re: Previous & Next Navigation

So you think it's more efficient and faster to load a 3 - 5 thousand row table into an array in memory and pass that around to all of your scripts (through sessions?), rather than just passing a $page variable and doing a query to return 30 rows on each page?? If you pass a $Page variable, you can make your query like this: SELECT * FROM table LIMIT $Page*30,30 Just increment and decriment $Page as you traverse the results...easy, eh? ---John Holmes... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jay Blanchard" <jay.blanchard@niicommunications.com> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 1:06 PM Subject: [PHP] Previous & Next Navigation > Howdy! > > I am working on a project where approximately 3k - 5k records are returned > and need to be displayed 30 per page with 'previous' and 'next' navigation > at the request of the users.
