[RESOLVED] PHP Help with parameter…

My page new_items.php displays all the contents from the ‘items’ table of my database, however I want to display solely the data where type equals 1 when the url is new_items.php?type=1
My current code :

[code=php]<?
require_once (‘../db2connect.php’);

// Number of records to show per page:
$display = 8;

$type = (isset($_GET[‘type’])) ? $_GET[‘type’] : “%”;

$genre = (isset($_GET[‘genre’])) ? $_GET[‘genre’] : “%”;

// Determine how many pages there are.
if (isset($_GET[‘np’])) { // Already been determined.

$num_pages = $_GET[‘np’];

} else { // Need to determine.

// Count the number of records
$query = “SELECT COUNT(i.id) FROM gitems as i ORDER BY i.id ASC”;
$result = mysql_query ($query);
$row = mysql_fetch_array ($result, MYSQL_NUM);
$num_records = $row[0];

// Calculate the number of pages.
if ($num_records > $display) { // More than 1 page.
$num_pages = ceil ($num_records/$display);
} else {
$num_pages = 1;
}

} // End of np IF.

// Determine where in the database to start returning results.
if (isset($_GET[‘s’])) {
$start = $_GET[‘s’];
} else {
$start = 0;
}
