dj scousey Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Hi all, I have just created a shoutbox using PHP & MySQL. But what i want to do is, put a limit of 15 shouts on the box, and then anything more than that you can access by clicking Next Page/Prev Page. The code i have for the box is as follows: <html> <head><title>SLR - ShoutBox</title> <link href="default.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="45"> <style type="text/css"> a:link {color: black; weight: bold;} a:visited {color: black; weight: bold;} a:active {color: black; weight: bold;} a:hover {color: red; weight: bold;} body {background-color: #BDD8F6;} .txtBox {boackground-color: #ffff99;}</style></head> <div align="left"> <table width="150" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center" class="phpshout_table"> <tr><td class="phpshout_table"> <table border="0" border-color="#00CCFF"><tr><td bgcolor="#3399ff" width="174"> <center><b>ShoutBox</b></center> </td></tr></table> <form name="shout" method="post" action="shout.php"> <div align="left"> <input name="name" type="text" id="name" value="Name" size="25" maxlength="10" class="txtBox" onclick="this.value=''"> <input name="contact" type="text" id="contact" value="URL/Email" size="25" class="txtBox" onclick="this.value=''"> <input name="message" type="text" id="message" value="Message" size="25" onclick="this.value=''"> <font size="1px"><a href="admin.php"> Board Admin </a> <a href="javascript:this.location.reload();">Refresh</a></font> <input name="shout" type="submit" id="shout" value="Shout!" color="#33ccff"> </div> </form> </td> </tr> <?php session_start(); $l = mysql_connect ( "localhost" , "shoutuser" , "shoutuser" ) or die("Error connecting:<BR><BR>".mysql_error()); mysql_select_db( "shouts" ) or die("Error getting db:<BR><BR>".mysql_error()); function getShouts() { $query = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM shouts ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT 10") or die(mysql_error()); while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($query) ) { $name = stripslashes($row['Name']); $contact = stripslashes($row['Contact']); $shout = stripslashes($row['Shout']); if(empty($contact)) { echo '<p><span class="author"><b>'.$name.'</b></span> - <span class="shout">'.$shout.'</span></p>'; } else { echo '<tr border="1" border-color="#00CCFF"><td class="phpshout_posts"><p><a href="'.$contact.'" target="_blank"><strong>'.$name.'</strong></a></span> - <span class="shout">'.$shout.'</span></p></td></tr>'; } } ?> </td></tr> </table> </div> <?php } if ( isset ( $_POST['shout'] ) ) { $name = addslashes($_POST['name']); $contact = addslashes($_POST['contact']); $message = $_POST['message']; if ( ( isset($name) ) && ( isset($message) ) ) { // getting smilie list $smilies = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM smilies") or die(mysql_error()); while($get = mysql_fetch_array ($smilies)) { $alt = $get['Alt']; $smilie = $get['URL']; $message = str_replace( $get['Symbol'] , '<img src="smilies/'.$smilie.'" border="0" width="15" height="15" alt="'.$alt.'">' , $message); $themessage = addslashes($message); // replacing all smilies } mysql_query("INSERT INTO shouts (Name, Contact, Shout) VALUES ( '$name' , '$contact' , '$message' )") or die(mysql_error()); $_SESSION['has_posted'] = 'yes'; header("Location: shout.php"); // if required fields aren't empty, process into database } else { echo '<script>alert("Some fields were not filled out!");</script>'; header("Location: shout.php"); // if required fields were left empty, show an error dialog } }/* else { echo '<script>alert("Please follow the form to this page.");</script>'; header("Location: shout.php"); } /* STARTING THE MAIN SCRIPT NOW */ getShouts(); mysql_close($l); ?> </body></html> Any ideas??

dj scousey Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 currently it only displays 10 entries on the shoutpage. i know how to change it to show more than 10 entries, but the thing is, i dont know how to make it show e.g 15 entries per page.
