pagination trouble

[simmsy]

Hey everyone im having a little trouble with my forum pagination on the replies. I am using the the id of the topic as the page so this is what it looks like for the link:

" echo "  <tr><td height='50' align='center' valign='top' bgcolor='#AAAAAA'><b>$username</b><br />$date<br />$time</td>

  <td height='50' align='center' bgcolor='#AAAAAA'><b><a href='viewtopic.php?id=$id'>$topic</a></b></td></tr>";"

so the link is http://...........viewtopic.php?id=1

I am using this pagination

  <?

//display data

$get = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM reply WHERE reply_id='$id' LIMIT $start, $per_page");

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($get))

  {

//get data

$a_username = $row['a_username'];

$a_date = $row['a_date'];

$a_time = $row['a_time'];

$a_reply = $row['a_reply'];

 

echo "  <tr><td height='50' align='center' valign='top' bgcolor='#AAAAAA'><b>$a_username</b><br />$a_date<br />$a_time</td>

  <td height='50' align='center' bgcolor='#AAAAAA'>$a_reply</td></tr>";

 

  }

 

  ?>

 

  </table>

  <p />

 

  <div align='center'>

  <?

//setup prev and next variables

$prev = $start - $per_page;

$next = $start + $per_page;

 

//show prev button

if (!($start<=0))

echo "<a href='viewtopic.php?start=$prev'>Prev</a> ";

 

//show page numbers

 

//set variable for first page

$i=1;

 

for ($x=0;$x<$record_count;$x=$x+$per_page)

{

if ($start!=$x)

echo "<a href='viewtopic.php?start=$x'>$i</a> ";

else

echo "<a href='viewtopic.php?start=$x'><b>$i</b></a> ";

$i++;

}

 

//show next button

if (!($start>=$record_count - $per_page))

echo " <a href='viewtopic.php?start=$next'>Next</a>";

 

?>

 

but then when I click on the next page or one of those links it comes out like this http://...........viewtopic.php?id=1?start=2

then click it again http://...........viewtopic.php?id=1?start=2?start=2 and adds that every time I click it

can anyone help its the last part of making my forum, please?

I think your coding concept is not quite right seeing from the output, you are trying to add pages into the page number instead of displaying them on page. I have a pagination example, you might consider:

//Set number of entries on each page:
//max entries per page
		$limit = 3;
		//Query the database to get total entries:
		$news = file("admin/news.txt");
		$totalrows = count($news);
		//Special Cases:
		$pagination = true;
		if ($totalrows == 0) {$pagination = false;
		echo "<p align=center><br /><br />$db_noentries</p>";}
		elseif ($news == false) {$pagination = false;
		echo "<p align=center><br /><br />$db_error</p>";}

		if ($pagination == true) {
		//Page variable set:
		if (isset($_GET['page'])) {$page = $_GET['page'];}
		else {$page = 1;}

		//Organize result details:
		$lines = file("admin/news.txt");
		$lines = array_reverse($lines);

//Set variables:
		$startvalue = ($page * $limit) - $limit;
		$numofpages = $totalrows / $limit;
		$totalpages = ceil($numofpages);
		if ($page == $totalpages) {$endvalue = $totalrows;}
		else {$endvalue = $startvalue + $limit;}

		//Start looping through the entries:
		while ($startvalue < $endvalue){

		//Get general data:
		$data = explode(";seDp#", $lines[$startvalue]);
		//Perform organization:
		if (strlen($data[3]) > 500) {$extension = "...";}
		$entrycontent = "". substr($data[3], 0, 500) ."$extension";
		$extension = "";
		$textrcondition = 0;
		include("textreplacer.php");
		//Get Replies:
		$replies = file("newscomments/comments[{$data[2]}].txt");
		$total = count($replies);
		if (!file_exists("newscomments/comments[{$data[2]}].txt")){$total = 0;}

		echo "<a name=\"{$data[0]}\"></a>
		<h3>{$data[0]}</h3>
		<p>$entrycontent</p>
		<p class=\"post-footer align-right\">
		<a href=\"news.php?news={$data[2]}\" class=\"readmore\">Read more</a>
		<a href=\"news.php?news={$data[2]}#comments\" class=\"comments\">Comments ($total)</a>
		<span class=\"date\">{$data[1]}</span>
		</p>" . "\r\n";
		$startvalue ++;}
		//Starts page links:
		echo "<p align=center>";
		//Sets link for first page:
		if ($page != 1) {$pageprev = $page - 1;
		echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=1\"><<</a>  ";
		echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$pageprev\">PREV </a> ";}
		else {echo "PREV ";}
		//Page Range sorting:
		if ($page <= 5) {$pagelowerlim = 1;} else {
		if ($totalpages <= 11) {$pagelowerlim = 1;}
		else {if (($totalpages - $page) < 5) {$pagelowerlim = $totalpages - 10;}
		else {$pagelowerlim = $page - 5;}}}
		if ($page <= 5) {
		if ($totalpages <= 11) {$pageupperlim = $totalpages;} else {$pageupperlim = 11;}}
		else {if (($totalpages - $page) >= 5) {$pageupperlim = $page + 5;} else {$pageupperlim = $totalpages;}}
		//Looping through page numbers:
		$i = $pagelowerlim;
		while ($i <= $pageupperlim) {
		if ($i == $page) {echo "[$i] ";}
		else {echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$i\">$i</a> ";}
		$i ++;}
		//Set link for last page:
		if ($page != $totalpages) {$pagenext = $page + 1;
		echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$pagenext\">NEXT </a> ";
		echo "<a href=\"{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$totalpages\">>></a>";}
		else {echo "NEXT ";}
		echo "</p>";}

This gives PREV [1] 2 3 NEXT  >>...etc you can click on, I modified it a bit so it only outputs 11 pages on the page if number of pages exceed 11.
