@rcpalaceauthorMar 03.2007 — Any Help???
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@michael879Mar 04.2007 — ok first of all, dont use a title like "Need help! with script!". It just pissed some people off, and most people will just ignore it since they have no idea what ur problem is. Use something more descriptive. Also, I dont understand your question, what is pagination?
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@rcpalaceauthorMar 04.2007 — pagination is:

pagination is where you have more data that desired appearing on one page, and breaking up that data so that it is then presented on multiple pages.

thanks for your reply, I will change the subject name.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@michael879Mar 04.2007 — ah, I actually recently wrote a script that does that. Ill give you the code but how general do you want it to be? This would be basically code youd insert into your script. Its not some function that does it for you, it would take some effort to make it work for yours.
Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@rcpalaceauthorMar 04.2007 — All I want it to do is to add 4 comments per page. with the

previous and next page links along with the first 5 page numbers[if possible]

thanks in advanced.

@michael879Mar 04.2007 — ok here is a copy of a view users page a wrote a while ago, it creates pages where each page contains USERS_PER_PAGE users.

[code=php]
<?php

define('USERS_PER_PAGE',10);

require_once(CONNECT_PATH);
$query = 'SELECT user_id FROM users';
$result = @mysql_query($query) or handle_mysql_error("retrieving user information");
$total = mysql_num_rows($result);

$p = $_GET['page']-1;

if(!isset($p) || $p < 0)
$p = 0;
elseif($p > ceil($total/USERS_PER_PAGE)-1)
$p = ceil($total/USERS_PER_PAGE)-1;
echo 'Page '.($p+1);

$query = 'SELECT CONCAT(last_name, ", ",first_name) AS name, DATE_FORMAT(date_registered, '%M %d, %Y') AS registration, username, user_id FROM users ORDER BY CONCAT(last_name, first_name) LIMIT '.$p*USERS_PER_PAGE.','.min(USERS_PER_PAGE,$total-$p*USERS_PER_PAGE);
$result = @mysql_query($query) or handle_mysql_error("retrieving user information");

echo "<table width='*' cellpadding='1' cellspacing='1' bgcolor='#000000' border='1'> <tr><td width = '*' bgcolor = '#ffffff'>Name</td><td width = '*' bgcolor = '#ffffff'>Date Registered</td><td width = '*' bgcolor = '#ffffff'>Username</td></tr>";

while($row = @mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_NUM))
{
echo '<tr><td bgcolor = "#ffffff">'.$row[0].'</td><td bgcolor = "#ffffff">'.$row[1].'</td><td bgcolor = "#ffffff"><a href = "'.dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/user.php?user='.$row[3].'">'.$row[2].'</a></td></tr>';
}

echo '</table>';

echo 'Page ';
for($i = 1; $i <= ceil($total/USERS_PER_PAGE); $i++)
echo '<a href = "'.dirname($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']).'/viewusers.php?page='.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> ';

@mysql_close($dbc);

include('footer.php');

?>

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
@rcpalaceauthorMar 04.2007 — ok, I need a little more help, My file name for the comment system is: inc_rate.php

So what do I edit in the code you provided for it to retrieve data from the table?

thanks in advanced.
