warning: this is VERY UGLY CODE. i wrote it 3-4 years ago now i think and it just keeps working. you call it this way: # pagination. if(isset($_GET['pg'])) { $page = intval($_GET['pg']); } else { $page = 1; } $page = sprintf("%02d",$page); $query = Array( 'query' => "SELECT foo FROM bar", 'itemsperpage' => 50, 'maxdisplay' => 20, 'linkprefix' => "$_SERVER[PHP_SELF]?f=$forum_id&pg=" ); list($pages,$numpages,$items,$threads) = paginate_sql($page,$query); $pages is the html formatted links $numpages is the total number of pages i dont actually use $items much but i think it just tells you how many items (which is the same as itemsperpage... i believe) $threads is the mysql rows resource (you can use mysql_fetch_rows on it) function paginate_sql(&$thispage,$options) { $offset = $options['itemsperpage'] * ($thispage - 1); if(isset($options['server'])) { $results = db_query(eregi_replace("^SELECT","SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS",$options['query'])."LIMIT $offset,$options[itemsperpage]",$options['server']); $rows = db_query("SELECT FOUND_ROWS()",$options['server']); } else { $results = db_query(eregi_replace("^SELECT","SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS",$options['query'])."LIMIT $offset,$options[itemsperpage]"); $rows = db_query("SELECT FOUND_ROWS()"); } list($totalitems) = db_rows($rows); db_free($rows); $html = ""; $numpages = ceil($totalitems / $options['itemsperpage']); if(isset($options['maxpages']) && $numpages > $options['maxpages']) { $numpages = $options['maxpages']; } if($thispage < 1 || $totalitems < $options['itemsperpage']) { $thispage = sprintf("%02d",1); } if($thispage > $numpages && $numpages > 0) { header(sprintf("Location: %s01", str_replace("&","&",$options['linkprefix']))); exit(); } $start = (ceil($thispage / $options['maxdisplay'])-1) * $options['maxdisplay'] + 1; if($start == 1) { $html .= "«"; } else { $html .= sprintf("<a href=\"%s%02d\">«</a>", $options['linkprefix'], $start-1); } if(isset($options['maxdisplay']) && $options['maxdisplay'] != 0 && $numpages > $options['maxdisplay']) { $numlist = $options['maxdisplay'] + $start - 1; } else { $numlist = $numpages + $start - 1; } if($numlist > $numpages) { $numlist = $numpages; } for($x=$start; $x<=$numlist; $x++) { if($x == $thispage) { $html .= sprintf(" %02d", $x); } else { $html .= sprintf(" <a href=\"%s%02d\">%02d</a>", $options['linkprefix'], $x, $x); } } if($numlist == $numpages) { $html .= " »"; } else { $html .= sprintf(" <a href=\"%s%02d\">»</a>", $options['linkprefix'], $numlist+1); } if($totalitems <= $options['itemsperpage']) { $html = ""; } return Array($html,sprintf("%02d",$numpages),$totalitems,$results); } On 9/13/07, Patrik Hasibuan <patrikh@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Mike, > > I am intrested for the solution you gave me.
