10 Results Per Page But From Different Categories


I have a script that shows a list from a different category depending on what is in the URL. I've got it to limit the results to the 1st ten results and keep the chosen category in the link(?category=differentcategory) but when next page is clicked it repeats the same ten results. Code:

1 Menu/12 Categories/1 PHP Page
I'm trying to replicate this type of php coding here.

<snipped url>

Basically, it's a simple menu on the left side that retrieves the info of a table (cat) and 12 different fields (ex: Area Guides, Business, etc...) containing web site addresses.

My question to you is, how can we use the same php page (res.php in this case) to retrieve the content of 12 different fields?

You see, I would have created 12 different php pages while this guy managed to use only one page to do it!

Could you please tell me how he did it and maybe paste me some php code to do something similar?

Having Different Results On Same Page
I have a database that I would like to use to display the contents in different lists on the same page. In other words, I would like a list of the latest 15 entries in the database to appear in list...then I would like the next 15 to appear on the same page but in a different list structure, etc. I have this so far, but it only displays the latest 15...I am stuck on how to get another list generated from the same query: Code:

Use Arrays To Page Through Results?
I've got a search facility that interrogates an SQL database then shows the results 30 at a time. Currently, when you go to the next page of results it has to run the query all over again, because there is no way of handing the resultset to the PHP file. So I wondered if there was another way of doing it.

I'm tempted to use mysql_fetch_array and create a multi-dimensional array full of result rows, then hand that around, but so far cannot find out how to hand a PHP array as a variable to a PHP page.

IS this possible, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Or is there a better way of doing this?

How Do I Make The Results Appear On The Same Page?
Presently i am calling a new file to accept my dropdownlist values. Is it possible to make it such that the results will just appear on the same page? Code:

PING Results On PHP Web Page!
Can someone show me sample code on how can I write a script that shows ping results on a web page.

Multi-page Results....
I'm working on an engine to search a MySQL database of a bunch of forum messages. The PHP code retrieves the results from the database, then stores them into an multi-dimensional array for processing.

Once stored, the code parses each result and assigns it a relevancy score, and once all of the results are scored, it then sorts all of the results according to relevance. The end product off all this is an array that holds all of the retrieved messages relevant to the search, holding such information as title, author, date, msgID, blah blah blah. now that i've kinda explained what's going on, i'll get into the problem i've bumped into.

Being that there's roughly 16,000 messages in the database (not to mention the 800,000 lines of message text) that could possibly be the results from a query, displaying it all on one page is most definately out of the question (it still takes a few seconds to load on my cable line with only a few hops to the T3'd server. I'd hate to see what a 33.6 or 56k user would be waiting for).

The real problem all comes down to: how am I going to pass the results from one page to the next? an array of a few thousand messages is a *little* large for an http post action, and storing the results in a table in the mysql database posses a few problems as well (namely, how long to keep the table around after the user has executed the search. temporary tables are out of the question, as they die as soon as the mysql connection is closed, but a persistent mysql connection would create exactly the opposite problem: ei, temp. tables never die).

SQL Query - Results From Another PHP Page ?
Can I store this PHP code in another page, then refernece it on
multiple pages using Require or Include ???

Limit Results To 20 Per Page.
I have a Database and script where it SELECT * FROM my database and lists the info on my website. I want to be able to limit the quary to only 20 per page. Here is an example of what i am talking about on this page http://sacvalleyhomes.com/Sacvalley/property_inquiry.php

Everything listed under Property Inquiry is genarated be my database. As it is now i have 5 diffrent tables for 5 diffrent pages. This is way to much work to keep updated.

What i want to do is put all 5 tables in to 1 table and have my php script only show the first 20 listing then generate the page numbers on the bottom or some way to view next 20 results and so on. Code:

Why Does My Page Always Show JUST First Set Of Results?
Whenever I execute a query I limit it to lets say 2 rows per page. The problem is my code will only say there is 1 page of results when there should be more! What am I doing wrong? Code:

Results Only X Number Per Page...
am doing a real state site and when searching it shows all the results from the database in one single webpage, can you help me with one easy way to show only 10 results per page?

I've seen some complicated sites with previous and next arrows, i only need to show 10 results then a link to show next 10 and that's it.

Limited Results Per Page
i have a download section for my site, with about 20 downloads, and i was wondering if their was a script so that it would only show 5, and clicking 'next' button would show the next 5 etc.

PHP / Microsoft SQL V7/2000 - Page Results
Anyone know a simple way to page results of a SQL Select using Microsoft SQL ? I don't believe they have anything as handy as MySQL LIMIT.

Search Form And Results Page
I have a table called "lista" into my mysql database.This table has 5 text columns : "TRANSLATEDTITLE" "ORIGINALTITLE" "ACTORS" "DIRECTOR" "YEAR" , and 1 image column called "COVER".

I want to create a page with a form to search entries into this table (ex. with Title, Actors, Director, Year), and anotger php page with the search results shown inside, everyone with a link that opens a pop window (ex. 400X320). Code:

Displaying X Number Of Results Per Page
What I need to do is this. I query a MySQL database and, for example, 400 results are returned. I can get it to display the number of results, but I would like to set a value to display, say 20, results per page and generate numbered links with and offset to browse through and next/previous buttons -not unlike this page. Can anyone point me in the direction of a good article or if you have it, post some code here?

Newbie Question: Results By Page
How do I make results that I select from my database on different pages
based on length?

For instance, say I have over 50 records with more being added and I want it
to display 10 records per page. How do I get that info to display only 10 at
a time instead everything all in one page?

Fetching Results Across Page Loads
I would like to find a way to execute a query against an MS SQL server
and return a small number of rows each page load. However, I cannot
read all the results in during the first page load due to size
contraints.

Here are the details. A user submits a request. I construct a SQL query
and execute on the MS SQL server. The query results in a million rows.
The initial page load shows the first 100 rows. Each successive page
load shows the next 100 rows. Because our web server has limited disk
space, I do not want to return the entire result set now, but only 100
rows at a time. Also, for performance reasons, I do not want to rerun
the query each page load.

So, I need a "persistent result" set that can be fetched from across
page loads. I have tried to store the result set in a session variable
using serialize and unserialize, but to no avail. It seems that across
page loads the result set loses its way, even with a persistent
database connection.

Return Search Results On Same Page
I'm struggling with this much longer than I think I need to,

How do I make the results of a search display on the same page as the
search, sort of beneath the 'submit' button? Thanks for helping out.


Page Navigation From Search Results
I have created a search form that searchs for results from my database matching the criteria to what ever the user inputs. I have done this using 2 php pages the first page points to the second, where the data is sanitised and cleaned accordingly. The results are displayed on the 2nd page. Code:

How Do I Return 10 Results Per Page Using SELECT Statement?
I'm wasn't sure whether to post this under the PHP or under the MySQL section of the forums. Since most people (I'm assuming) who write PHP script, also use MySQL, I thought I'd stick with PHP. I'm rather new to both PHP and MySQL and I'd be very grateful to anyone who can help me solve a problem I'm having at the moment. First, I'll give you an introduction to my little project...

I'm developing a database in MySQL that is used to store the song titles of all the MP3s I have on my PC. I've written a basic search feature that works well. The user has 2 options: Either he can type a special "!ALL" "parameter", that I made up, to return all the songs in the database or the user may enter a few characters in the textbox and select "song title" or "artist" etc. from a dropdown to search for a specific song title or artist etc.. Hope you are following so far? Say for example the user presses submit after typing "!ALL" to return all the song titles - there could be hundreds of results. What I want to do now is display 10 results on a page, then on the next page another 10, etc. (like a real search engine!). I've tried doing it with the LIMIT statement, but like I said I'm new to this and discovered that that is not the right way of going about it. My question is this: how would I go about returning 10 matches per page? Do I use hidden form fields? What would the SELECT statement look like? What would the PHP scripting look like to setup the "back" and "forward" navigation between the result for the search?

Displaying X Number Of MySQL Results Per Page
I'm writing a search on a MySQL DB, and everything so far has just gone swimmingly. I've got a "results per page" drop down box in my form, with a few different values.

At the moment, I'm just using:

while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)

to output results to screen.

I'm not too sure how to go about it, but I did have two thoughts:

1) Suck the results into a multi-dimensional array, and pass the array to a display results script (not sure if you can pass arrays to other scripts???

2) Display x number of results, then have the "Next" (or 2, 3... ) links call the search again, but displaying results x+1 - x+x.

1 sounds like too much trouble, and 2 sounds inefficient. Not too sure how else to go about it. Any info / thoughts you guys have would be much appreciated.

On a side note, how do you look at a specific row in the result?

Limiting Results, And Display Page Numbers
How do I make it so only 50 items display per page. And if there's more than 50, it displays a link "page 2", "page 3" and so on? I know how to limit results with MySQL but how do I generate pages for the next 50 within the PHP code?

Link To Form Results Page Dynamically
I have a dropdown box that pulls information from a database. What I want to achieve is that when a caller selects an option, the option determines that page that comes up.

I tried setting the form action to the name of the option, but this down not bring up anything; actually the resulting page is .php. I also tried moving the form action statement after ther selection, but that does not work either - the Submit button does not work. PHP Code:

Search Results Showing An Include Page
I have a page index.php which includes different templates based on a passed URL variable through the include() function. My problem is that I have the files saved as temp.inc.php files. Search engines are returning the include page as a result and then the user is directed to a new window with just the include page displayed. Any ideas on how to get around this?

How To Pass Mysql Search Results From One Page To Another
I am creating a website that uses PHP to query a MySql database. upon supplying the PHP script with a given search string and search term, a list of scientific documents with attributes such as author, date, url and revision are returned. Each document also has a unique id number within the database. What I would like to do is create a system whereby user of the site can leave reviews for each particular document, much like the product review system employed at jungle.com. I have got to the stage where the php script outputs a list of results each separated by a horizontal rule and what i would like is to be able to place a button on each record marked submit review, which would then take the user to a form where he or she could leave a review which would placed into a reviews table in the database.

However my problem is that i do not understand how to pass the paper id automatically to the form such that the user does not have the inconvenience of having to type into the form. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could solve this problem?

Populating Form From Database, Then Passing Results To Next Page
I have a multiple select input in a form that's being populated by a row
from my database as such:
<input type="checkbox" name="subm[]" value="$row[ID]">

That part is working fine as I can check the displayed page using View
Source and see that the value is the correct row number from the
database. It is then being submitted on a form by $_POST method to
another page where I want to evaluate the checkboxes and display the
contents of the entire row that corresponds to each value="$row[ID]"
that have been checked. But I can't seem to get it to work. I'm having a
problem passing the selected value. Can someone point me in the right
direction?

$query = ("SELECT * FROM `table`");
$result = mysql_query($query);

print "<p>Data for Selections:";
print "<table border=2><tr><th>You chose:";

foreach ($_POST['subm'] as $value) {
print "<tr><td>";
print "$row[ID];
";
print mysql_field_name($result, 1) . ": " . $row[name]."<br>";
print mysql_field_name($result, 2) . ": " . $row[address]."<br>";
print mysql_field_name($result, 3) . ": " . $row[city]."<br>";
print "</td></tr>";
print "</table>
";
}

if (!isset($_POST['subm'])){
print "<p>No matching entry ";
}

mysql_close();

Reading Categories
I have a text file called cat.dat which contains the username and the categories they have selected. Another file users.dat is for username and password.

Now, my authentication part is working fine, but I can't read the cat.dat file to get their selected items.

Multiple Categories
I am looking for a tutorial, or some help with a slight problem that I am
having.

What I need to do is create a bit of code that will allow me to select
multiple categories for a product. I all ready have it so I can pick form a
list of categories and unlimited sub categories. Now I need it so I can
select mutable categories from a list, and the product gets displayed on
them all.

I am using MySQL and PHP for this.

Multiple Categories
i am creating a directory of local business and need a bit of help on something.  I want to have it where a client can belong to more than 1 category or sub-category.  The categories for example are Restaurants, Entertainment, etc. Then under Restaurants you have something like Greek, Italian, etc as the sub-categories.

So I have 3 tables.

The categories table with the cat title and id number. (there are only 7 categories)

The sub categories table with the sub cat title, id number and the number of the category it belongs to.

Then I have the client table that contains the client info such as business name, address, etc. In there I have a field for the category and sub category where I fill in the correct number.  So if it is a restaurant (cat 1) and an Italian restaurant (sub cat 7) I fill in the correct fields with those numbers.  Now with some clients I want to have them say under Restaurants and sub cat Italian and Caterers.  When I try putting in 4,45 in the subcategories field of the client table it erases the ,45.  So what can I do to fix this? (so that a client can belong to more than one sub-category.

Paginating Categories
i have small problem here, when aa user browses a specific category i wanted to paginate THAT category, as a test i set the display per page to 5 so if i have 15 items in the database the links are correct they show: Code:

Outputting Data In Categories
I'm trying to organize some data into categories. Lets say for example we have this:

while ($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
$data1 = $row["field1"];
$data2 = $row["field2"];
$data3 = $row["field3"];
$data4 = $row["category"];
echo $data4?><br><?php;
echo $data1,$data2,$data3?><br><?php;
}

Which would have a sample output like this:

Category1
Field1Field2Field3
Category1
Field1Field2Field3
Category2
Field1Field2Field3
Category2
Field1Field2Field3

How would I get it to print the category name once, then everything belonging to that category, then move to the next category, etc. So it'd look like this:

Category1
Field1Field2Field3
Field1Field2Field3
Category2
Field1Field2Field3
Field1Field2Field3

That's the simplest way I can think of putting it. :)

Seems to me like it'd be an easy answer, but I've tried a couple of different approaches and can't seem to get it to work.

Categories In Html Form...
Is there any easy way to select a coulmn (categories) from a mySql Database and put it into a dropdown box in a html form to be used to add to the table, this way they wouldn't have to type in the category and just select it from a dropdown box. I need to do this in a way that it won't select every category as there could be 3 rows with dogs as the category, I only want dogs to show up once.

How Do I Create Categories For A Blog Post?
I created a very simple shoutbox. User posts their name and a message and clicks post. It posts to the database and when the page reloads, the "shout" is displayed.

I would like to add categories to this little shoutbox application I created.  The user should be able to check off boxes to apply different categories to a post. For example a shout could be in the categories, php,mysql,html and css.

Logistically how do I do this using MySQL and PHP? ... Obviously this is just a project for learning and has no real application.

Creating Hierarchy Of Links To Parent Categories?..
Hi

I've attempted to create a set of links to my pages which displays all higher level (parent) categories.

Something like this:

Top > Category1 > Category2 > Category3 > Category4

With Category4 being the title of the current category being displayed. Only the higher level categories should be links, ie Category4 in the example should be just text and not hyperlinked.

My attempt so far is the code below. It sort of works, but only displays the current category (as text) and it's parent (as a link).

As you descend ito the catalog, the higher levels are not visible.

Displaying A List Of Categories From A Database In A Select Box
Could someone please tell me why this outputs nothing

<select name=categories>
<?
$cat_array = get_categories();
foreach($cat_array as $this_cat)
{
echo "<option value="";
echo $this_cat["category_id"];
echo """;
echo ">";
echo $this_cat["category_name"];
echo "
";
}
?>
</select>

==========================================================

function get_categories()
{
//get the list of categories from the database

$conn = mysql_pconnect("localhost", "user", "pwd");
$query = "select * from categories";
$result = mysql_query($query);
if(!$result)
return false;

$num_cats = mysql_num_rows($result);
if($num_cats == 0)
return false;

$result = db_result_to_array($result);
return $result;
}

function db_result_to_array($result)

$res_array[$count] = $row;

return $res_array;
}

I Have Sub-categories But Want To Display Full Category Path
Let's say I have a simple web application running with just two MySQL
tables. The tables structure is as follows:

Table: category
category_id (PK)
category_name
parent_category (FK) //references category_id in this table

Table: link
link_id (PK)
link_name
link_description
category_id (FK) //references category_id in category table

Here is the data in the category table
1, England, 0
2, West Yorkshire, 1
3, Batley, 2
4, Leeds, 2
5, Bradford, 2

As you can see Batley, Leeds and Bradford are sub-categories of West
Yorkshire which itself is a sub-category of England.

What I want to display when I am browsing through sub-categories of links is
not only the name of that sub-category but it's category's parents, grand
parents and so on like the below example.

UK >West Yorkshire >Batley

I see this on a lot of directory sites but none of my PHP books cover how
this is done. Must be quite simple so can someone please point me in the
right direction. Hope I've explained it well enough, haven't a clue what
this process is called.

Blog Software With Many Registered Users Categories
I have a blog made with b2evo, but I'd want to migrate to another
software. I need this feature: different user levels, and each level
see only the posts intended for them. I'd want to be able to do posts
for everyone, posts for customers, posts for friends and posts for
close friends.

The user levels deployed in b2evo and Wordpress seem only to limit
editing and blogging, but not readability of the posts (actually, in
b2evo you may limit the visibility of a post to the registered users,
but all of them, not a category). The only tool I know who could enable
me to do that is typo3, but frankly, installing typo3 for a blog seem a
bit of a overkill to me...

Do you know any blog software who enable the owner to have different
levels of visibility for each post?

Search Brings Back Different Results Or Sometimes No Results
The problem Iv got is that when searching the site - it brings back different results or sometimes no results. For example: "i026", "i 026" and "026" do not bring back results for "I-026" which is the correct model number. Any ideas on how to make it search more variations or of a "Did you mean... I-026" script?

Search Results ($num_rows) Does Not Match $search Results (PHP,MySQL)?
For example, when I do a database search for a term I get 2 results but the $num_rows says there are 3 results.

I suspect it's because there are similar keywords within different search fields of the SQL statement. But I am stumped as to how I can change this. Any Suggestions? the code:

perhaps is my session string? i am passing my session thru the URL and i constantly refreshing it. is that the problem? my url looks like this: domain.com/myfile.php?authorize=mike&token=f5c0f7edd785a6a9448c50249bad18ed
