Hi,

 

Im a newbie on PHP / MySQL programming and Im running a script to search one field on my DB table. The results will show after I key in my search word but there's an error below that says: Undefined variable: PHP_SELF in C:\wamp\www\ITInventoryApplication\ITInventory\files\SearchSerial.php on line 105. Also the link to the next page is not clickable.

 

When I change to $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] I get:

Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'.

 

Pls help me... thanks.

what I did in my previous post, just makes it easier to read

 

  if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {

  // not last page so give NEXT link
  $news=$s+$limit;

  echo " <a href=\"$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']?s=$news&q=$var\">Next 10 >></a>";
  }

 

this is the code giving you problems?

 

for "Parse error: parse error, expecting `T_STRING' or `T_VARIABLE' or `T_NUM_STRING'.", what line is that error on?

this are the codes in reference to PHP_SELF, both edited according to smerny's suggestion. mikesta707, i had the parse error when I did your code idea.

 

>>Next Page is still not clickable. Hope there are any more suggestions

 

print " <a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?s=".$prevs."&q=".$var."\"><<

  Prev 10</a>&nbsp ";

 

echo " <a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?s=".$news."&q=".$var."\">Next 10 >></a>";
