I am having serious trouble with my script

 

I can connect to database using some search criteria and it displays the results.  I have 1 result per page and use pagination which normally works fine but because I am getting a SQL error it won't work....i just get this error message

 

You have an error in your SQL syntax. Check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'AND AND bedrooms >= 2 AND location = '' AND type = '' AND `key

 

I only get this error now becuase I set the variable of $min_bedrooms to 2.  Before the message got up to near'' and stoped.

 

I think it's becuase the $_POST variables aren't getting passed onto the next page.  i have tried using global but it still doesn't work.

 

<?php 

include "connection.php";

$min_price = $_POST['min_price'];
$max_price = $_POST['max_price'];
$property_type = $_POST['type'];
$location = $_POST['location'];
//$min_bedrooms = $_POST['minBeds'];
$keywords = $_POST['keywords'];


$min_bedrooms = 2;

$webpage = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); 
function pagination_five($total_pages,$page){ 

    global $webpage, $min_price, $max_price, $property_type;
    global $location, $min_bedrooms, $keywords;  

    $max_links = 10; 
    $h=1; 
    if($page>$max_links){ 
        $h=(($h+$page)-$max_links); 
    } 
    if($page>=1){ 
        $max_links = $max_links+($page-1); 
    } 
    if($max_links>$total_pages){ 
        $max_links=$total_pages+1; 
    } 
    if($total_pages>1){ 
echo '<div class="page_numbers"><ul>'; 
if($page>"1"){ 
    echo '<li class="current"><a href="'.$webpage.'?page=1">First</a></li> 
        <li class="current"><a href="'.$webpage.'?page='.($page-1).'">Prev</a></li> 
    '; 
} 

if($total_pages!=1){ 
    for ($i=$h;$i<$max_links;$i++){ 
	if($i==$page){ 
	    echo '<li><a class="current">'.$i.'</a></li>'; 
	} 
	else{ 
	    echo '<li><a href="'.$webpage.'?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> </li>'; 
	} 
    } 
} 

if(($page >="1")&&($page!=$total_pages)){ 
    echo '<li class="current"><a href="'.$webpage.'?page='.($page+1).'">Next</a></li> 
    	<li class="current"><a href="'.$webpage.'?page='.$total_pages.'">Last</a></li> 
    '; 
} 
echo '</ul></div>';
    }  
}

$result = mysql_query("Select count(*) from search WHERE bedrooms = $min_bedrooms") 
or die (mysql_error()); 
$numrows = mysql_fetch_row($result); 
  
if(isset($_GET['pagenum'])?$page = $_GET['pagenum']:$page = 1); 
$entries_per_page = 1;   

$total_pages = ceil($numrows[0]/$entries_per_page); 
$offset = (($page * $entries_per_page) - $entries_per_page); 

    //after we have $total_pages and $page, we can include the  
    //pagination style wherever we want on the page. 
    //so far there is no output from the script, so we could have  
    //pagination before or after the pages results 
     
    //before the results  

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM search WHERE (price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price AND bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms AND location = '$location' AND type = '$property_type' AND `keywords` LIKE '%$keywords%') OR
(price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price AND bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms AND location = '$location' AND type = '$property_type') ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT  
                       $offset,$entries_per_page");
  if(!$result) die(mysql_error()); 
     $err = mysql_num_rows($result); 
       if($err == 0) die("No matches met your criteria."); 

while($row=mysql_fetch_array($result)){ 

$formatted = number_format($row['price'],2);

echo "<div id=\"right\"><img src=\"".$row['image']."\"><a href=\"detail.php\">".$row['title']."</a><h4>Offers over £".$formatted."</h4><p>".$row['type'].", ".$row['bedrooms']." bedrooms</p><br /></div>\n";

} 

  //or after the results 
   
pagination_five($total_pages,$page);

try this

 

<?php 

include "connection.php";

$min_price = $_POST['min_price'];
$max_price = $_POST['max_price'];
if ($max_price == '') {
echo 'Max price is empty!';

    $max_links = 10; 
    $h=1; 
    if($page>$max_links){ 
        $h=(($h+$page)-$max_links);

    if($page>=1){ 
        $max_links = $max_links+($page-1);

} 

  //or after the results 
   
pagination_five($total_pages,$page);  

?>

 

I've added

 

if ($max_price == '') {

echo 'Max price is empty!';

}

 

as i have a feeling that max_price is being passed blank if so i would think you have a typo on the page submitting the info.

This means you have an error passing the variable could you post code for the page with the submit button and inpouts..

 

also..

 

change

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM search WHERE (price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price AND bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms AND location = '$location' AND type = '$property_type' AND `keywords` LIKE '%$keywords%') OR
(price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price AND bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms AND location = '$location' AND type = '$property_type') ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT  
                       $offset,$entries_per_page");

 

to

 

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM search WHERE ((price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price) AND (bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms) AND (location = '$location') AND (type = '$property_type') AND (`keywords` LIKE '%$keywords%')) OR
((price BETWEEN $min_price AND $max_price) AND (bedrooms >= $min_bedrooms) AND (location = '$location') AND (type = '$property_type')) ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT  
                       $offset,$entries_per_page");

 

 

I beleive that should be correct.. for testing purposes try changing

 

$max_price = $_POST['max_price'];

 

to

 

$max_price = 100000;

 

 

just to make sure we are passing as value to test the query.
