Hello, I have made a page that pulls results from a database and added a simple search function to it which works fine. Although I was able to code that myself I wanted to add pagination to the page which was beyond my knowledge.

I went online and looked through a bunch of tutorials and manage to get one working, although I can't seem to get it working with the search function properly. When I do a search the first page comes out fine but when I click the next button the next pages just seem to grab everything from the database and not just what I was searching for. I have been working with this script for a few days now, any help with this script would be much appreciated. Or if you think I am going about it all wrong please let me know. Here is what I have.

 

 

<?php

// Connect to the database server

$dbcnx = @mysql_connect('loc', 'user', 'password');

 

if (!$dbcnx) {

exit('<p>Search for Clients.</p>');

}

// Select the clients database

 

if (!@mysql_select_db('mydatabase')) {

exit('<p>Unable to locate the Client list ' .

'database at this time.</p>');

}

 

//select all the clients records

$req_limit = mysql_query("SELECT id,age,name,height,weight,hair,eyes,stats,location,travel,datejoined,ethnic,services FROM Mable WHERE location LIKE '%$location%' and services LIKE '%$services%'");

 

$result = mysql_numrows($req_limit);

$page_limit = '2';

$page_number = $result / $page_limit;

$total_number = ceil($page_number);

$number = $total_number - 1;

if(isset($_GET['page_number']) || $_GET['page_number'] != '0' )

 

{

$mysql_limit = $page_limit * $_GET['page_number'];

}

else{

 

$mysql_limit = '0';

}

 

?>
