Any reason why these if statements aren't working?

[lalnfl]

Here are the two if statements:

 

if (!($start <= 0)){

 

$prev_button = "<a href='forum.php?category_id=$category_id&start=$prev'>Prev</a>";

 

}

 

if (!($start >= $record_num - $per_page)){

 

$next_button = "<a href='forum.php?category_id=$category_id&start=$next'>Next</a>";

 

}

 

But they are not properly working. This is part of a pagination script for the next and previous buttons.

We need to see where $start, $record_num & $per_page are defined and you'll need to define 'not working properly'.

Not to mention that !($start <= 0) is same as $start > 0 and !($start >= $record_num - $per_page) is same as $start < $record_num - $per_page

 

Keep it simple.
