TY Kevin
But I am trying with pagination and I am having issues which I hope someone can help me out with. The firt forum worked but when I added the pagination scrip I am getting an Internal Server Error. What am I doing wrong?
<?php
$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM test);
$nr = mysql_num_rows($sql); // Get total of Num rows from the database query
if (isset($_GET['pn'])) { // Get pn from URL vars if it is present
$pn = preg_replace('#[^0-9]#i', '', $_GET['pn']); // filter everything but numbers for security(new)
//$pn = ereg_replace("[^0-9]", "", $_GET['pn']); // filter everything but numbers for security(deprecated)
} else { // If the pn URL variable is not present force it to be value of page number 1
$pn = 1;
}
//This is where we set how many database items to show on each page
$itemsPerPage = 4;
// Get the value of the last page in the pagination result set
$lastPage = ceil($nr / $itemsPerPage);
// Be sure URL variable $pn(page number) is no lower than page 1 and no higher than $lastpage
if ($pn < 1) { // If it is less than 1
$pn = 1; // force if to be 1
} else if ($pn > $lastPage) { // if it is greater than $lastpage
$pn = $lastPage; // force it to be $lastpage's value
}
// This creates the numbers to click in between the next and back buttons
// This section is explained well in the video that accompanies this script
$centerPages = "";
$sub1 = $pn - 1;
$sub2 = $pn - 2;
$add1 = $pn + 1;
$add2 = $pn + 2;
if ($pn == 1) {
$centerPages .= '
' . $pn . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $add1 . ' ';
} else if ($pn == $lastPage) {
$centerPages .= '
' . $sub1 . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $pn . ' ';
} else if ($pn > 2 && $pn < ($lastPage - 1)) {
$centerPages .= '
' . $sub2 . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $sub1 . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $pn . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $add1 . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $add2 . ' ';
} else if ($pn > 1 && $pn < $lastPage) {
$centerPages .= '
' . $sub1 . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $pn . ' ';
$centerPages .= '
' . $add1 . ' ';
}
// This line sets the "LIMIT" range... the 2 values we place to choose a range of rows from database in our query
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pn - 1) * $itemsPerPage .',' .$itemsPerPage;
// Now we are going to run the same query as above but this time add $limit onto the end of the SQL syntax
// $sql2 is what we will use to fuel our while loop statement below
$sql2 = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM $limit");

$paginationDisplay = ""; // Initialize the pagination output variable
// This code runs only if the last page variable is ot equal to 1, if it is only 1 page we require no paginated links to display
if ($lastPage != "1"){
// This shows the user what page they are on, and the total number of pages
$paginationDisplay .= 'Page
' . $pn . ' of ' . $lastPage. ' ';
// If we are not on page 1 we can place the Back button
if ($pn != 1) {
$previous = $pn - 1;
$paginationDisplay .= '
Back ';
}
// Lay in the clickable numbers display here between the Back and Next links
$paginationDisplay .= '
' . $centerPages . '';
// If we are not on the very last page we can place the Next button
if ($pn != $lastPage) {
$nextPage = $pn + 1;
$paginationDisplay .= '
Next ';
}

WHILE($rows = mysql_fetch_array($sql)):
$first_name = $rows ['first_name'];
$last_name = $rows ['last_name'];
$age = $rows ['age'];
$zip = $rows ['zip'];
echo "$first_name
";
echo "$last_name
";
echo "$age
";
echo "$zip
";
endwhile;
?>
I figure it out.
