[SOLVED] I finally found a reason to Paginate!

[law]

Now if I could only get this simple pagination to work!! any one see what i'm doing wrong?

 

if (isset($_GET['galno'])) {
   $pageno = $_GET['galno'];
} else {
   $pageno = 1;
}
$pageno = (int)$pageno;
if ($pageno > $num_rows) {
   $pageno = $num_rows;
}
if ($pageno < 1) {
   $pageno = 1;
}
if ($pageno == 1) {
   echo " FIRST PREV ";
} else {
   echo " <a href='./index.php#Community?galno=1'>FIRST</a> ";
   $prevpage = $pageno - 1;
   echo " <a href='./index.php#Community?galno=$prevpage'>PREV</a> ";
}
if ($pageno == $num_rows) {
   echo " NEXT LAST ";
} else {
   $nextpage = $pageno + 1;
   echo " <a href='./index.php#Community?galno=$nextpage'>NEXT</a> ";
   echo " <a href='./index.php#Community?galno=$num_rows'>LAST</a> ";
} 
echo " ( Page $pageno of $num_rows ) ";
$num = $pageno;

 

$num_rows = the number of galleries I want to display in my database

$num = is in the gallery code to pick out what gallery to show

#Community = the page "container" where the galleries are located

 

The issue is that the $pageno always = 1.. that means the if($_GET(clause)) is never true? and i have no idea why??

move #Community to the end of url

What's a paginate suppost to do?

 

I have never heard of it.  Gt a link or something or is it simple to explain?

It means one of three things:

 

1) isset($_GET['galno']) is always evaluating to false (maybe your variable is named something other than galno?)

2) $num_rows is less than or equal to 1

3) $_GET['galno'] is equal to 1.

 

Your problem lies in one of these three things.

Its a term used to shorten search results, etc. Best google a popular term and check down the bottom of the page (Prev 1 2 3 4 Next).

Imagine if every google search result was on the one page.

 

As for the OP, I would suggest die()-ing your major variables so see what their actually values are, or maybe var_dump(). And then doing this inside your condition statements to see if they're actually executing.
