Hi, Freaks. I've got a quick question I'd like to ask out of curiosity I coded a simple pagination functionality last night. It's nothing intricate. The page it's for pulls a large amount of data and is displayed 10 rows at a time. To determine which data to display it uses a simple $_Get['from'] and $_GET['to']. They start out as $from = 0; and $to = 10; and are each incremented or decremented by 10 if the user clicks 'prev' or 'next'. I got it functioning properly and then needed a quick if statement to disable the 'prev' if $from == 0 && $to == 9; (so it didn't go to -10 and -1 respectively and break the script). This was the original try -> <?php if($from == 0 && $to == 9) { $state = "disabled"; } else { $state = "active"; } $html = sprintf("<a href='/qcic/newsnet/pages/%s.php?act_id=%s&act_title=%s&from=%s&to=%s' class='%s'><i class='fa fa-angle-left'></i> previous</a>", $actor, $id, $actor, ($from-10), ($to-10), $state); echo $html; And it did not work. $from became -10, $to became -1 and it broke the script. I changed it to this -> <?php if($from == 0 && $to == 9) { $state = "disabled"; $html = sprintf("<a href='#' class='%s'><i class='fa fa-angle-left'></i> previous</a>", $actor, $id, $actor, ($from-10), ($to-10), $state); } else { $state = "active"; $html = sprintf("<a href='/qcic/newsnet/pages/%s.php?act_id=%s&act_title=%s&from=%s&to=%s' class='%s'><i class='fa fa-angle-left'></i> previous</a>", $actor, $id, $actor, ($from-10), ($to-10), $state); } echo $html; This way worked So I have 2 simple questions regarding this: 1. Why didn't the first method work and I had to make the $html variable twice and actually remove the URL? and 2. How would I provide the same functionality to the 'next' button with an undetermined amount of data? - i don't know how many entries there may be, but when the script gets there I want it to know it got there and act accordingly. Can I get open thoughts on ways to achieve this? TIA and the best of Sundays to all you freaky geeks

Hi guys, I have this script I am running, http://pastebin.com/NR1A03hY, works perfectly and does everything I need it to do. The only thing is the redirect at the bottom of the script does not work if line 40 is true. I think I have a problem with my foreach loop and the if statements in-between. Please can someone check, I have no idea on this one! Edit: in the pastebin the redirect is striked out as i was problem solving it. Of course i would not strike it out once its back working! Thanks

Trying to simplify my code to something like: if($_SESSION['url'] != 'http://www.golden-wand.com/Pages/admin.php'||'http://www.golden-wand.com/Pages/admin-test.php') This is what works that I would like simplified: <!---------------------------------- ADMIN FUNCTIONS START -------------------------------> <?php if($_SESSION['admin']=='1'){ if($_SESSION['url'] != 'http://www.golden-wand.com/Pages/admin.php'){ if($_SESSION['url'] != 'http://www.golden-wand.com/Pages/admin-test.php'){ ?> <input type="button" value="Admin Page" class="button hvr-wobble-skew" onclick="location.href='http://www.golden-wand.com/Pages/admin.php'"> <?php }}} ?> <!----------------------------------- ADMIN FUNCTIONS END -------------------------------->
