Pikachu2000 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 There doesn't appear to be a closing ?> php tag before the html. You either need that, or use echo to output the html.

eMonk Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I tried to echo the html but still get the same error. Here's the entire code: <?php $LIMIT = 5; if (isset($_GET['page'])) { $page = $_GET['page']; if ($page <= 0) { $page = 1; } } else { $page = 1; } include("../includes/connect.php"); $strqry = "SELECT id from model"; $result = $db->query($strqry); $TOTALROWS = $result->num_rows; $NumOfPages = $TOTALROWS / $LIMIT; $LimitValue = $page * $LIMIT – ($LIMIT); echo "<div id=\"paginating\" align=\"right\">Pages:"; if ($page == ceil($NumOfPages) && $page != 1) { for($i = 1; $i <= ceil($NumOfPages)-1; $i++) { if($i > 0) { echo "<a href=\"/{$i}\">{$i}</a>"; } } } If ($page == ceil($NumOfPages) ) { $startPage = $page; } else { $startPage = 1; } for ($i = $startPage; $i <= $page+6; $i++) { if ($i <= ceil($NumOfPages)) { if($i == $page) { echo " [{$i}] "; } else { echo "<a href="\"/{$i}\">{$i}</a> "; } } } echo "</div>"; ?> Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249002-unexpected-t_string/#findComment-1278809 Share on other sites More sharing options...
MasterACE14 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I'm not sure what's happened here, but it isn't right: if ($page == ceil($NumOfPages) && $page != 1) { should be if ($page == ceil($NumOfPages) && $page != 1) { Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249002-unexpected-t_string/#findComment-1278813 Share on other sites More sharing options...

MasterACE14 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I can't see anything else wrong with it, is that the entire file? And can you copy/paste the full error message.

AltarofScience Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 um, is one of your variables a string? like the stuff you are calling from the database, as opposed to a number? i am trying to think of the things that happen when i get a t_string error and it usually involves one of my variables not being a number. are you positive that is line 29? also why () around limit? also, are there 8 lines of text in the included file? otherwise i only count that line as like 21.

MasterACE14 Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 okay your last loop should be: echo "<a href=\"/{$i}\">{$i}</a> "; your line 29 should be: $LimitValue = $page * $LIMIT - ($LIMIT); You have a character there that isn't what it should be, I'm not even sure how you get that character lol, but it's acting like a hyphen(string) as opposed to a minus sign. and this has an extra curly brace in it... if ($page <= 0) { $page = 1; } } else { $page = 1; } should be if ($page <= 0) { $page = 1; } else { $page = 1; } Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/249002-unexpected-t_string/#findComment-1278831 Share on other sites More sharing options...
eMonk Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 It's working now.. there was also a missing closing bracket in the first if statement. Now it's echoing "Pages:" but not the hyperlink numbers, for example.. "Pages: 1 2" $strqry = "SELECT id from model LIMIT $LimitValue, $LIMIT"; The query above should have 11 records so it should create 2 pages. Any ideas?

eMonk Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 I moved $LimitValue above $strqry so it looks like this: $LimitValue = $page * $LIMIT - ($LIMIT); $strqry = "SELECT id from model LIMIT $LimitValue, $LIMIT"; Now it's displaying: Pages: [1] I added an echo for $TOTALROWS and it's displaying "5" which is what $LIMIT is set to but $TOTALROWS should be "11".

eMonk Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 Ok now $TOTALROWS returns "11" and the html output is: Pages: [1] 2 3 Now when you click on the links, for example, http://www.test.com/2 ... it leads to a 404 page because it cannot be found... do I need to create a script like page.php and make the url output http://www.test.com/page.php?page=2 ???
