Daniel0 Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Add ORDER BY field DESC to your query. Replace field with the field you want it ordered by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revraz Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 That's called Pagination. There is a tutorial for it somewhere around here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soycharliente Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 Try taking an existing page with pagination in it already and adding your code. Make it display your data instead of adding in the pagination around your code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You saved it to $data_p (I think), but never ran mysql_query on it. I hope this helps. I haven't tested this because I don't have your db. It was sort of hard to pick through all the code that you've been posting and understand your incomplete sentences. <?php require("connect.php"); //mysql db connection here // use require so that if it doesn't connect to the db, // then it won't try to process the page. function myEscape($string) { $new = get_magic_quotes_gpc() ? stripslashes($string) : $string; $safe = mysql_real_escape_string($new); return $safe; } $id = $_GET['id']; foreach ($_GET as $key => $val) { $_GET[$key] = myEscape($val); } if (isset($_GET['pageno'])) { $pageno = $_GET['pageno']; } else { $pageno = 1; } // if $query = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM `table` WHERE `postid`='$id'"; $result = mysql_query($query, $db) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR); $query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result); $numrows = $query_data[0]; $rows_per_page = 15; $lastpage = ceil($numrows/$rows_per_page); $pageno = (int)$pageno; if ($pageno > $lastpage) { $pageno = $lastpage; } // if if ($pageno < 1) { $pageno = 1; } // if $limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pageno - 1) * $rows_per_page .',' .$rows_per_page; $query = "SELECT * FROM table WHERE `postid`='$id' ORDER BY `showtime` DESC $limit"; $result = mysql_query($query, $db) or die("Could not get topic."); if (mysql_num_rows($result) > 0) { echo "<table class=\"maintable\">"; echo "<tr class=\"headline\"><td width=\"20%\">Author</td><td width=\"80%\">Post</td></tr>"; while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) { $author = $row['author']; $showtime = $row['showtime']; $message = nl2br(strip_tags($row['post'])); echo "<tr class=\"mainrow\">"; echo "<td valign=\"top\">{$author}</td>"; echo "<td vakign=\"top\">replied at {$showtime} <br /><hr><p>{$message}</p></td>"; echo "</tr>"; } echo "</table>"; } else { // show an error message? } // if if ($pageno == 1) { echo " FIRST PREV "; } else { echo " <a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno=1\">FIRST</a> "; $prevpage = $pageno-1; echo " <a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno={$prevpage}\">PREV</a> "; } // if echo " ( Page $pageno of $lastpage ) "; if ($pageno == $lastpage) { echo " NEXT LAST "; } else { $nextpage = $pageno + 1; echo " <a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno={$nextpage}\">NEXT</a> "; echo " <a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pageno={$lastpage}\">LAST</a> "; } // if ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
