Eduardo,
The best way to do it is on both a php and sql level. Use sql's limit
keyword in your query to return only the amount of records you want. For
instance, page 1 will have LIMIT 0, 9 in the query. Page 2 will have LIMIT
10, 19. Then you can simply use *_fetch_array and a foreach(maybe) to
iterate through all the values. If you want to have the the amount of
records dynamically generate then either have a asdf.php?min=0&max=9 or just
do min = (page * 10) - 10 and max = (page * 10) - 1. Many different ways to
do this. However I find this one to be the most efficient.
problem with your example.
Limit is not used that way
Check out this page for further explanation
http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/select.html#id3064319
Here is something I whipped together for this as an example
<?php
$page = 1;
$rowsPerPage = 10;
$start = 0;
if (
isset($_GET['page']) &&
is_numeric($_GET['page']) &&
$_GET['page'] >= $page
) {
$start = ($rowsPerPage * floor($_GET['page']) );
}
$SQL = "select * from table LIMIT {$start}, {$rowsPerPage}"
display results...
?>
Let me know if I completely confused you. I am often confusing...

Subject: Too many records to display in one web page
Hi All
I am developing a web site that interacts with a MySQL database. When I run
a query and display the records in a web page, this can become a problem
because there might be too many records to be displayed in one single web
page so I am trying to divide the total number of records and display them
in multiple pages. Let's say, if the query returns 100 records then I would
like to display the first 10 records and then put a navigation bar where I
can go to the next 10 or return to the previous 10 records
Is this done at a SQL or PHP level ? any experience on doing this ?
Thanks a bunch
Eduardo
