I recently decided to try out a simple PHP/MySQL pagination script I found online. After replacing all the required data and creating a connect.php file with my db information, I got a bunch of errors on the page with the script: here they are, in order:
Warning: include(connect.php) [function.include]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /homepages/9/d383324583/htdocs/news/index.php on line 115

What’s strange here, is that the folder “d383324583” isn’t my database name, although it’s similarly formatted.
As for the pagination code itself, it’s quite long, but mostly simple:
[php]<?php
include(‘connect.php’);
$tableName=“news_pages”;
$targetpage = “/news/index.php”;
$limit = 10;
$query = “SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tableName”;
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];
$stages = 3;
$page = mysql_escape_string($_GET[‘page’]);
if($page){
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit;
}else{
$start = 0;
}
// Get page data
$query1 = “SELECT * FROM $tableName LIMIT $start, $limit”;
$result = mysql_query($query1);
// Initial page num setup
if ($page == 0){$page = 1;}
$prev = $page - 1;
$next = $page + 1;
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);
$LastPagem1 = $lastpage - 1;
$paginate = ‘’;
if($lastpage > 1)
{
$paginate .= “
// Previous
if ($page > 1){
$paginate.= “previous”;
}else{
$paginate.= “previous”; }
// Pages
if ($lastpage < 7 + ($stages * 2)) // Not enough pages to breaking it up
{
for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
{
if ($counter == $page){
$paginate.= “$counter”;
}else{
$paginate.= “$counter”;}
}
}
elseif($lastpage > 5 + ($stages * 2)) // Enough pages to hide a few?
{
// Beginning only hide later pages
if($page < 1 + ($stages * 2))
{
for ($counter = 1; $counter < 4 + ($stages * 2); $counter++)
{
if ($counter == $page){
$paginate.= “$counter”;
}else{
$paginate.= “$counter”;}
}
$paginate.= “…”;
$paginate.= “$LastPagem1”;
$paginate.= “$lastpage”;
}
// Middle hide some front and some back
elseif($lastpage - ($stages * 2) > $page && $page > ($stages * 2))
{
$paginate.= “1”;
$paginate.= “2”;
$paginate.= “…”;
for ($counter = $page - $stages; $counter <= $page + $stages; $counter++)
{
if ($counter == $page){
$paginate.= “$counter”;
}else{
$paginate.= “$counter”;}
}
$paginate.= “…”;
$paginate.= “$LastPagem1”;
$paginate.= “$lastpage”;
}
// End only hide early pages
else
{
$paginate.= “1”;
$paginate.= “2”;
$paginate.= “…”;
for ($counter = $lastpage - (2 + ($stages * 2)); $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
{
if ($counter == $page){
$paginate.= “$counter”;
}else{
$paginate.= “$counter”;}
}
}
}
// Next
if ($page < $counter - 1){
$paginate.= “next”;
}else{
$paginate.= “next”;
}
$paginate.= “
}
echo $total_pages.’ Results’;
// pagination
echo $paginate;
?>
-
<?php
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
echo '
- '.$row['country'].' '; } ?>
It is rather colossal, but once again, I gather that it’s simple, unless you are, like me, a PHP novice.
If anyone can offer any advece, it would be greatly appreciated.
