Re: Pagination need help1)

Use 2 queries. 1) SELECT * FROM cars WHERE ... ORDER BY... "; 1) SELECT * FROM cars WHERE ... ORDER BY... LIMIT $record_x_page OFFSET $page"; With the firsth query print pages numbers at the bottom of the html page. With the second one print the records list. Every time you click on the page number printed at the bottom you have to pass the searchterms (by get with urlencode()) to the 2 queries and the $page parameter.
