Pagination Error

[aussiefly]

ok this is my first go at php pagination and its working.....sort of

 

Here is the guts of my pagination and query code (ive still got things to change like the count rather than just selecting all rows etc).

 

// check to see if page number is set and if not set it.
if(isset($_GET[’pagenum’]))
{
$pagenum = $_GET[’pagenum’];
}
else
{
$pagenum = 1;
}

//Here we count the number of results 
//Edit $data to be your query 
$data = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM `transactions` where `user_id` = $_SESSION[userid]") or die(mysql_error()); 
$rows_count = mysql_num_rows($data); 

//This is the number of results displayed per page 
$page_rows = 6; 

//This tells us the page number of our last page 
$last = ceil($rows_count/$page_rows); 

//this makes sure the page number isn't below one, or more than our maximum pages 
if ($pagenum < 1) 
{ 
$pagenum = 1; 
} 
elseif ($pagenum > $last) 
{ 
$pagenum = $last; 
} 

//This sets the range to display in our query 
$max = 'limit ' .($pagenum - 1) * $page_rows .',' .$page_rows; 

// query transactions database for user history

$trans_query = "SELECT * FROM `transactions` where `user_id` = $_SESSION[userid] $max";
$trans_result = mysql_query($trans_query);
php?>

<h1> User Account History </h1><table cellpadding="10" border="1" rules="rows" frame="void">
<tr>
<td>Trans #</td><td>Date</td><td>Liberty #</td><td>Amount</td><td>Type</td><td>Status</td></tr>

<?php
while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($trans_result))
{     
php?>
 <tr>
 <td><?php echo $row['trans_id']; php?></td>
     <td><?php echo $row['date']; php?></td>
 <td><?php echo $row['liberty_acc']; php?></td>
 <td><?php echo $row['amount']; php?></td>
 <td><?php echo $row['type']; php?></td>
 <td><?php echo $row['status']; php?></td>
 </tr>


<?php
} // end loop
php?>
</table>
<?PHP
// This shows the user what page they are on, and the total number of pages
echo " --Page $pagenum of $last-- <p>";

// First we check if we are on page one. If we are then we don't need a link to the previous page or the first page so we do nothing. If we aren't then we generate links to the first page, and to the previous page.
if ($pagenum == 1) 
{
} 
else 
{
echo " <a href='history1.php?pagenum=1'> <<-First</a> ";
echo " ";
$previous = $pagenum-1;
echo " <a href='history1.php?pagenum=$previous'> <-Previous</a> ";
} 

//just a spacer
echo " ---- ";

//This does the same as above, only checking if we are on the last page, and then generating the Next and Last links
if ($pagenum == $last) 
{
} 
else {
$next = $pagenum+1;
echo " <a href='history1.php?pagenum=$next'>Next -></a> ";
echo " ";
echo " <a href='history1.php?pagenum=$last'>Last ->></a> ";
} 
php?>

 

The problem is that it seems to display the results fine...but when i go to click next page etc...nothing happens and it just sits there.

 

The problem is clearly somewhere in the updating of the $max variable which is actually the limit....it doesnt seem to be updating from what i can see...and i just cant see what to fix.

 

Any ideas

 

p.s im really going to have to donate to the site after all the time you guys have been putting into helping me learn some scripting.

 

Cheers
