I have a php file that show the results of three queries, is for a directory, one shows the name alphabetically if you click a letter it shows names started with that letter, the other is a drop down menu and the last is a search field.
I need to paginate the results. I have pagination on the main page but I’m trying to do the same on the results one but Its not working, this is the code:
[php]
<?php require_once("connect.php");$count = 0;
$bigltr="images/letterA.png";
if(isset($_GET['ltr'])) {
$qstring="SELECT alum_id,alum_fname,alum_photo,alum_lname,alum_title,alum_company,alum_program,alum_gradyear FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_lname LIKE '".$_GET['ltr']. "%' ORDER BY alum_lname ASC"; // letter search: LIKE is the one that finds words that star with the letter declared by 'ltr' (abcd....)
$bigltr="images/letter".$_GET['ltr'].".png"; //this variable 'ltr' calls the images of the letters to use it on the qstring
}/*else{
$qstring="SELECT alum_id,alum_fname,alum_photo,alum_lname,alum_title,alum_company,alum_program,alum_gradyear FROM tbl_alumni ORDER BY alum_lname ASC"; //these are the elements that are called from the database
}*/
$results = mysql_query($qstring);
$rowsperpage = 6;
if(isset($_GET[‘page’])) {
$pagenum = $_GET[‘page’];
}else{
$pagenum=1;
}
$offset = ($pagenum - 1) * $rowsperpage;
$totalnumltr = mysql_query(“SELECT alum_id FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_gradyear=’”.$_GET[‘ltr’]."’ ORDER BY alum_lname ASC LIMIT");
$totalnumgrad = mysql_query(“SELECT alum_id FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_lname LIKE '”.$_GET[‘gradyear’]. “%’ ORDER BY alum_lname ASC LIMIT”);
$totalnumsrch = mysql_query(“SELECT alum_id FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_lname LIKE '%”.$_GET[‘searchbox’]."%’ OR alum_fname LIKE ‘%".$_GET[‘searchbox’]."%’ OR alum_title LIKE ‘%".$_GET[‘searchbox’]."%’ OR alum_program LIKE ‘%".$_GET[‘searchbox’]."%’ ORDER BY alum_lname ASC LIMIT");
$totalall = mysql_query(“SELECT alum_id,alum_fname,alum_photo,alum_lname,alum_title,alum_company,alum_program,alum_gradyear FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_lname ORDER BY alum_lname ASC”);
$total = mysql_num_rows($totalnum);
$maxpage = ceil($total/$rowsperpage);
$self = $_SERVER[‘PHP_SELF’];
if (isset($_GET[‘ltr’])){
$qstring = “if SELECT alum_id,alum_fname,alum_photo,alum_lname,alum_title,alum_company,alum_program,alum_gradyear FROM tbl_alumni WHERE alum_lname LIKE '”.$_GET[‘ltr’]. “%’ ORDER BY alum_lname ASC LIMIT”.$offset.",".$rowsperpage;
}elseif(isset($_GET[‘gradyear’])){

}elseif(isset($_GET[‘searchbox’])){

}else{

<?php
$count = 0;
$results = mysql_query($qstring); //this calls the variable $qstring and then depending on the selection, it could give results by using the gradyear drop down menu or by putting a query on the search field.
while($row=mysql_fetch_array($results)) { //results is set to show all the people in an alphabetical order
echo ""."";
echo "".$row['alum_fname']." ".$row['alum_lname']."
