first of all , let me apologize for the top post, second let me apologize for not giving more detail. The main problem is basically "pagination" , i have failed to add pagination code to my own code simply because it is not as simple as i thought. Considering i am a begginer in PHP , i must give myself some credit for reaching where i am , as for code snippet here goes, [snip] <html> <title>IP Addresses</title> <body> <?php // Get the search variable from URL $var = @$_GET['q'] ; $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable // check for an empty string and display a message. if ($trimmed == "") { echo "<p>Please enter a search...</p>"; exit; } // check for a search parameter if (!isset($var)) { echo "<p>We dont seem to have a search parameter!</p>"; exit; } $link = mysql_connect("localhost", "me","me2"); mysql_select_db("ip", $link); $qry = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM IP_Addresses where free like '%". $_GET['q']."%'", $link); ?> <table border="1" width="100%"><tr><?php if (mysql_num_rows($qry)==0 ) { print " Oops No records found "; ?> <br> <a href="http://localhost/ipsearch2.html">Back</a> </br> <? exit(); } if (mysql_num_rows($qry) > 0) { for ($i = 0; $i<mysql_num_fields($qry); $i++) { echo "<td align=center><strong>" . mysql_field_name($qry, $i) . "</td>"; } } ?> </tr><?php if (mysql_num_rows($qry) > 0) { for ($j = 0; $j<mysql_num_rows($qry); $j++) { ?><tr><?php for ($k = 0; $k<mysql_num_fields($qry); $k++) { echo "<td align=center>" . mysql_result($qry,$j, $k) . "</td>"; } ?></tr><?php } } ?> </table> <br> <br> <a href="http://localhost/index.html">Main Page</a> <br> <br> <a href="http://localhost/ipsearch2.html">IP Address Search</a></br></br> </br> </br> </body> </html> [/snip] i had posted some time back that i have problems with pagination and got alot of help , but the problem is i have never known how to put the code together with what i have .. any help is appreciated... cheers On Tuesday 04 January 2005 04:17, Jochem Maas wrote: > David Ziggy Lubowa wrote: > > On Tuesday 04 January 2005 10:10, David Ziggy Lubowa wrote: > >>Hey guys , > >> > >> I was wondering , i have 16 records within a table in my Database , i > >> have managed to have a form which can add and modify the records.
