This is an applic that I got off the internet that I am trying to install. An example of the code follows. if ($action=="memberlist") { /* get the total number data and find out what the grand total is */ $sql = "select id, title, price from ad_details where member_id=" . $_SESSION['login_id']; $sql .=" order by $orderby $order LIMIT $limitvalue, $user_view_limit "; $sqlcount = "select count(*) from ad_details where member_id=" . $_SESSION['login_id']; } else { $sql = "select a.id, a.title, a.price from ad_details a, ad_cat_join j where j.cat_id=$current_cat_id "; $sql .="and a.id=j.ad_id order by $orderby $order LIMIT $limitvalue, $user_view_limit"; $sqlcount = "select count(*) from ad_details a, ad_cat_join j where j.cat_id=$current_cat_id "; $sqlcount .=" and a.id=j.ad_id"; } $sql_countresult = mysql_query($sqlcount); list($totalrows) = mysql_fetch_row($sql_countresult); $res = mysql_query($sql); $num_ads = mysql_num_rows($res); I did not code this and I'm struggling to understand the applic and PHP! So I'm up to my armpits in alligators! LOL Thanks.
