hello :) I'm trying to count make a results page where you choose the amount of results shown per page. Also I want there to be a dropdown box to choose a page with results for example ranging from 100 tot 130 (Limit 100, 130) and a back and forward button. To do this I'm making a query that counts all the rows without the limit so I can calculate the amount of page etc. The query I'm using for this is: $sql2 = "SELECT pricelist.description, pricelist.ref_trac, pricelist.old_ref, pricelist.PRICE_ID, pricelist.bruto_prices, OEM.OEM, COUNT(*) FROM pricelist INNER JOIN OEM ON pricelist.ref_trac = OEM.ref_trac,  WHERE pricelist.description LIKE '%".$description."%' AND pricelist.ref_trac LIKE '%".$ref_trac."%' AND pricelist.old_ref LIKE '%".$old_ref."%' AND OEM.OEM LIKE '%".$oem."%'"; The original query to option the display results is: $sql = "SELECT pricelist.description, pricelist.ref_trac, pricelist.old_ref, pricelist.PRICE_ID, pricelist.bruto_prices, OEM.OEM FROM pricelist INNER JOIN OEM ON pricelist.ref_trac = OEM.ref_trac WHERE pricelist.description LIKE '%".$description."%' AND pricelist.ref_trac LIKE '%".$ref_trac."%' AND pricelist.old_ref LIKE '%".$old_ref."%' AND OEM.OEM LIKE '%".$oem."%' ORDER BY ".$sort." DESC LIMIT ".$limits[0].", ".$limits[1].""; I can also tell that the query is very slow it takes 13 seconds to process :( I think I'm going the wrong way with this and there might be an easier way (maybe even with tutorial) if so please let me know :) I hope someone can help me out with this soon I'd be very thankfull for that.
