Pagination problems with form output (long code post)

Thundarfoot · January 16, 2008

I am making a drop down list that gets its values from mysql table, and ouputs the user choice into a variable in a mysql query to display matching records ina table.

The scrip works, except for the pagination which somehow loses the appropriate variable...allso having trouble figuring out how to make a default choice of All return all errors.

I will include the lengthy dreamweaver 8 code, I would have trimmed it down if I was sure what area was causing the trouble.

Thank you in advance for helping me learn.

<?php require_once('../Connections/Lw.php'); ?>
<?php
$currentPage = $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"];

mysql_select_db($database_Lw, $Lw);
$query_Class = "SELECT `Class` FROM class_list ORDER BY id ASC";
$Class = mysql_query($query_Class, $Lw) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Class = mysql_fetch_assoc($Class);
$totalRows_Class = mysql_num_rows($Class);

mysql_select_db($database_Lw, $Lw);
$query_Cards = "SELECT Name, `Class`, Drops, Comments, Pic FROM skill_cards ORDER BY Name ASC";
$Cards = mysql_query($query_Cards, $Lw) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Cards = mysql_fetch_assoc($Cards);
$totalRows_Cards = mysql_num_rows($Cards);

$maxRows_Cards = 10;
$pageNum_Cards = 0;
if (isset($_GET['pageNum_Cards'])) {
  $pageNum_Cards = $_GET['pageNum_Cards'];
}
$startRow_Cards = $pageNum_Cards * $maxRows_Cards;

mysql_select_db($database_Lw, $Lw);
$name = $_POST['select'];
$query_Cards = "SELECT Name, `Class`, Drops, Comments, Pic FROM skill_cards WHERE skill_cards.`Class` LIKE '$name%' ORDER BY Name ASC";

$query_limit_Cards = sprintf("%s LIMIT %d, %d", $query_Cards, $startRow_Cards, $maxRows_Cards);
$Cards = mysql_query($query_limit_Cards, $Lw) or die(mysql_error());
$row_Cards = mysql_fetch_assoc($Cards);

if (isset($_GET['totalRows_Cards'])) {
  $totalRows_Cards = $_GET['totalRows_Cards'];
} else {
  $all_Cards = mysql_query($query_Cards);
  $totalRows_Cards = mysql_num_rows($all_Cards);
}
$totalPages_Cards = ceil($totalRows_Cards/$maxRows_Cards)-1;

$queryString_Cards = "";
if (!empty($_SERVER['QUERY_STRING'])) {
  $params = explode("&", $_SERVER['QUERY_STRING']);
  $newParams = array();
  foreach ($params as $param) {
    if (stristr($param, "pageNum_Cards") == false && 
        stristr($param, "totalRows_Cards") == false) {
      array_push($newParams, $param);
    }
  }
  if (count($newParams) != 0) {
    $queryString_Cards = "&" . htmlentities(implode("&", $newParams));
  }
}
$queryString_Cards = sprintf("&totalRows_Cards=%d%s", $totalRows_Cards, $queryString_Cards);

Ok I think part of my trouble is that the drop down form resets to ALL after teh submit button is pressed, causing my variable to change...

Not sure what to do about it, right now I have changed to $maxRows_Cards = 999; which removes the need for pages, but its not the fix I would like.
