Re: Creating 'Previous - Next Buttons' Logic - Novice Question

Novice Question: I would like to create a set of pages that could use some kind of logic to have "previous - next buttons "so that when the button was clicked it would automatically go to the next page - or the previous page. I know very little about PHP ... however, I am hoping that there is some kind of preset " open source" php code that I might be able to use. I can envision something like this: - An 'include page' that might store an array of the list of pages such as: start array... pos1 = page1.htm pos2 = page17.htm pos3 = page5.htm etc..... stop array... - then a variable could be set for the current page such as: thispage = 2 - Place on the array equals position 2 (page17.htm) then the next button would add 1 to the current place on the array- (pos3) - and the previous button would be minus 1 place on the array - (pos1) ... that type of thing Q: Is there any "open source" code template that I can check out like this? -- Thanks - RevDave CoolCat@hosting4days.com [db-lists]

Why don't you google for 'php pagination' ?? http://www.google.com/search?&q=php%20pagination only 1.2 millions results to look through. I'm sure that you can add words to that search phrase to narrow the search also, try searching the archives, I just wrote a posted a link to a nice example on how to do pagination. here is the link to the source. for highlighting purpose only. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/pagination/example1.php source is available here. http://www.cmsws.com/examples/php/pagination/example1.phps It mainly deals with pagination based off information retrieved from a DB. But, it could be adopted to work with arrays also. -- Jim Lucas "Some men are born to greatness, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them."
