PHP :: Displaying Results On Multiple Pages

Display Results From A Database On Multiple Pages
I am new to PHP and Mysql but am really determined to learn these techniques. I have some script that reads and displays results from the databse onto a page. However, I really wish to limit the number of results that are displayed to 10 per page and then have the next/privious links under the results. With these results, the results under the email field should be hyperlinked so that the person viewing the results should double click on the email link and send the person an email. How can i do that? I have to learn this technique.

The code is:-

Display Results From Text File In Multiple Pages
i use a string, eg "&&&" to mark pages in a text file. i use $count to count the above string. how can i display the contents of this file in multiple pages (by identifying the above string or any other method)?

Retrieving,Sorting & Displaying Multiple Results From Mutliple Tables
I need to know how to run a php / mysql query to do the following.

I have 1 database (lets call it "database" for now) within this database there are multiple tables ("News","Feature","Header_feature")

For NEWS I need only the 6 latest results pulled from that table and displayed in a table. The "News" table has the following columns "ID","Title","Date","Body","Image"

For Feature I need only 1 result retrieved from the database and displayed under the variable $ticker as it will display as a scrolling marquee within a table. The "Feature" table has the following columns "ID","Ticker".

For Header_feature I need only 1 result retrieved from the database and displayed in the following manner <a href="$link"><img src"$header_feature">[/url] The "Header_feature table has the following columns "ID","image","link"

How would I code this all into 1 page? I cant seem to get the query to do everything I want it to and display the results properly. You can see what I have so far at www.getlivemedia.com The $ticker is the scrolling text near the top of the page and the news is obviously the bulk of the page and $feature_image is the broken image.

Help With Displaying Selecting A Date Range And Displaying Results
I wish to create a simple form that allows the selection of a start date and a stop date with the ability to select what columns to be displayed in the result page.

Avioding Expired Pages, & Carrying Data Accross Multiple Form Pages
I have a checkout/order form that consists of 6 pages, all PHP. The are linked to one another, like, after the user finishes page 1, they proceed to page 2, etc... The first two pages are submitted by a GET link, so those are not in my question. The next 4 are submitted using a <form>. Throughout all of the pages, i would probably have about 25-30 variables, things that the user has to fill out. I have two questions,

1. What would be the best way for me to keep track of all the data moving throughout the pages, like storing it from page 4, and i still need to access it on page 6.
2. I don't know if anyone could help me here, but does anyone know of a way to code around those ugly "page expired" pages, because of a submitted form. If a user needs to go back, which most likely they will, is there some sort of way for me to skip the expired page?

Displaying The 10 Most Viewed Pages
I built a page view counter that collects the page id (comicId) and the user's IP addresss so it doesn't get counter twice.

I would now like to display the top 10 most viewed pages. I need to get a total count of every time the comicId appears in the table and display the ten highest totals.

I tried using

<?php $tabsOne = mysql_query("SELECT *, COUNT(*) FROM comicCounter GROUP BY comicId LIMIT 0, 10") or die(mysql_error()); ?>
But I don't think this is the right path. Any ideas?

Displaying Limited Results
I have a problem that is related to limiting the results displayed in a page. I have a numbered pagination script working that has a limit etc. At the moment it is milited to displaying 8 results before producing the next link.

What I have is a table with 2 columns and 4 rows....a grid of 8. I want the results to start in the top left and then when 2 table cells have been created it will start a new row and do this for all of the results ie:

1 2
3 4
5 6
7 8

Basically, i need code that will make a new row start when 2 results have been displayed in that row.

Splitting Select Results Into Pages In PHP
I'm new to PHP and Mysql, so I was hoping someone more experienced could help me with this one.

I've gone through most of Kevin Yanks excellent tutorial on Databases, but I haven't found an answer to my question.

I'd like to split the text results of a select command into a number of pages. I'd like to display 10 jokes on one page, and then ten jokes on the next and so on.

Anybody have any ideas on how to do this? I've been searching the web for most of the morning, but haven't really found the answer I needed and I was hoping somebody could give me a hand.

Display Search Results In Pages
im doing a query on a table that searches articles from the database, and i was wondering how i could display the results as groups of ten, so the next ten search matches are displayed when the user presses a page number.

Help With Function For Displaying Calculation Results
I am developing a betting calculator and at the moment I am working on some functions that can be used to display the HTML for the form to enter your bet and odds and the results.

I am still relatively new to PHP and I am learning all the time so sorry if this is a simple problem!

I have 3 files: calc1.php, index.php and funtions.php

Here is index.php PHP Code:

Nesting Queries And Displaying Results.
i am in the process of trying to make a simple system to keep track of switch ports and what points they are conencted to. the problem i am having is with displaying the data from my ports table. Code:

Displaying Array Results In Table
I'd like to display the results of an array in a table format with the Alias, Alias Destination & Username as column headings & the results underneath. PHP 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?

Displaying Database And Getting Unwanted Results...
I want to display everyone in the database, but only if the 'level' field is larger than 0. Well, this works fine for most of the database... but if the last entry in the database is 0, then it prints it anyways.

Is there anyway around this? I tried adding an if statement before the last bit where I echo out the table rows, but it was killing the entire table, or still showing the same results. Code:

Displaying Results With Decimals, And Stylizing Them.
I just have what I think is an easy question for some of you. I have a page that pulls all the entries from a specific table in the database. The results are displayed in a table. In this table there is column for "job_number" this job number is a decimal entry, i need to display the job numbers, grouped by the the numbers ahead of the decimal place and then ordered by the numbers after the decimal. I would also like to indent the decimals ONLY numbers below the under that does not have a decimal. Code:

Displaying Results From Database In A Particular Format
How do I display results from a database in a particular format. For example the following text in this format including the lines in stored in the database:

Quote“Hello,

Welcome to the news for 11/06/07.

Thanks”
When I echo the results using the usual, <? echo $row_news[‘news’]; ?> it doesn’t echo the information in the database in the format it is stored for example it will display like this. Quote“Hello, Welcome to the news for 11/06/07. Thanks” How do I get it to display in the format it in displayed in the database?

Displaying MySQL Results As URLs
I'm attempting to turn the results of a query into urls, yet I keep getting this error, "Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '<' in staff.php on line 190." I've coded and recoded this, yet for some reason I cannot get this error to go away. I know it's probably simple, but what am I missing? Code:

Show Mysql Query Results On Pages
Does anyone have a script that will show mysql query results as paged results? This is what I have at the moment and it does not pass the results to the second page. Code:

Highlight Search Terms In Results Pages
I am trying to find a script or code that will highlight search terms output from my MySql db. I have posted a portion of my pagination page below. The pagination script provides ten records at a time.

For example, I need code, a script, or a funtion to grab the search term coming from the user and generate highlighted keywords when the keywords are entered by the user in the html forms search box.

In the code below, I have inserted sample code so you can see how the display appears. In actual practice, the $Source, $Topic, $Subtopic, and $References values come from the while(list($Source, $Topic,$Subtopic,$References)= mysql_fetch_row($result2)) { code line. Code:

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?

Displaying SELECT Results In A Formatted Table
I was wondering how to show a table with a max limit of 20 results per page. I have various data being pulled and its putting it in a table, but its displayed all in one row. I want to format it so its a 4 column/5 row table. With that I then want the page to generate a numbered list at the bottom that calculates how many pages it takes to show 20 items on each. Code:

Displaying SQL Query Results In 3 Column Table
I would like to be able to display the results of an sql query in an html table, but the results need to be displayed in three columns, for example:

Column 1 Column 2 Column 3

Result 4 Result 5 Result 6
Result 7 Result 8 Result 9

I've tried to find the answers on the internet but i can't find anything that suits my needs!

Displaying Select Information From XML Search Results
I am new to both php and xml. I have a school assignment to update an existing php-based website where I have to display search results from an online library. I can use a url search which returns an XML file that includes tags such as position, title, url, description, date, etc.

I only want to display the title, url (preferably the title should be a link to the url), and description for all of the results on my website's search results (different template as well).

What classes/functions are available to help me do this? I would appreciate any guidance as well as links to online tutorials etc. that would point me in the right direction. I have read about the general aspects of php, and I have experience with Java and C; but I don't know about xml at all.

By the way, the website is running on the school server and has php version 4. I don't think I'll be able to install php 5 but I can probably upload some helper files or something.

Php To Pdf Multiple Pages
I can write a page - no problem.
when I start a second page I cannot open second page.
at the time of a page break I have tried:

php_close_page($sessionname)
php_open_page($sessionname,x-coord, y-coord)
and
php_close_pdi_page($sessionname, $pagename)
php_open_page($sessionname,x-coord, y-coord)
and just
php_open_page($sessionname,x-coord, y-coord)

It always opens and writes the first page but hangs
up when it tries to open the second page.

Multiple Pages
I am working on a php script that would allow members to post artices on the homepage. I think I have that pretty much down, what I don't know how to do is to limit the articles posted. I only want, say 10, to show up on the hompage, then users can click next page to see the next 10 articles. How would I do this? And how would I beable to make a next page link, too?

Also, this might be a bit much, but how would I make an administrator page, that allows me to authorize which articles are posted, and which are discarded? Just a simple one that says, post or delete. I can do the rest that would let me edit etc. but I just don't know where to start!

Multiple Pages From One PHP Document
I'm trying to work out how to query a database in MySQL, get a nuumber of
listings that match some of the criteria. For example the database has a
"town" field. If the town field matches the form's town field (as input from
the user), that listing's "Title" field is printed.

This title should act as a link to the full information of the listing. EG.

The user enters "Plymouth" as the town,
The php sends a query to the database
The database says "yes we have 10 listings in plymouth" and lists the titles
of all 10 as links.
The user clicks on one of the titles named "Neil's House"
The php then sends a query to the database and prints all the details of
this listing including "Description" and "Directions" fields.

I hope that makes sense, but anyone have any ideas HOW to do it?

I have a feeling I'll need to add includes or if / else statements to only
print the whole listing if the database is certain it has the listing
required, but otherwise keep giving details until only one is listed.

Also is it possible to create an SQL database from an Excell spreadsheet?

Forms And Multiple Php Pages
I'm working on a site which has a form page for users to request information from our company. I have the form working correctly, and a php page which lets the user verify his/her input. On this page, I have a submit button which opens the next php page which sends the email message to our servers regarding the info request.

My problem is that it seems that my variables from the form (i.e. $name, $address, etc.) as well as any variables I created in my first php page can't be passed to the page that contains the mail-sending script. Does anyone know how to pass these variables on?

Multiple Pages Script
I have adapted this multiple page script and its not working anymore.... i'm sure it worked when i first installed it but i've done some pretty heavy script changes since, here the 2 parts, the first part is right at the top of the script and the second part is at the end, just before the results are given to the page parser...PHP Code:

Create Multiple Pages
how I would alter this code, which displays a list of my site pages as a single sitemap page, to generate multiple sitemap pages (like 20 links per sitemap page or something) with next and previous buttons? Trying to avoid having a ton of links on one page.. Code:

Multiple Pages Script
I have this basic php script that sort results from a database into 5,10,20,50 results a page and then divides the pages up into how many is required by the number of entries in the database...blablabla.

Ok, so I run it on MAMP server on my computer and it works great and just as planned. But as soon as I upload it to my hosting company server it doesnt work at all. http://jwcsk8r.com/iaredrunk/multiple_pages.php.

Now, the page recognizes the total number of entries and divides the required page links up properly it just seems to be the "navigation" isn't working.

I really have no idea where the difference might be in the set-up (php.ini file, maybe?) or how to correct the issue. And both MAMP and my hosting company are running php4. I think it might have something to do with the register_globals or the server variables being called improperly. (i.e. $_SERVER["PHP_SELF"] and not $PHP_Self) but ive messed around with both and cant get it to work. Code:

$_SESSION Not Sent Across Multiple Pages....
I am using the following:
Apache version 1.3.37 (Unix)
PHP version 4.4.4
MySQL version 4.1.22-standard

I have a page which sets a few $_SESSION variables as such:
$_SESSION['username'] = Bobby;
$_SESSION['authentic'] = 1;

I didn't use session_start(); at the beginning of this page because from what I read elsewhere there is no need to when using $_SESSION[](only when using session_register()). Now, when I click a link and go to a new page (same domain and same window) none of the $_SESSION variables are read. I just get empty when I echo $_SESSION['username'].

Gzip Multiple Pages
I'm coding forums but i want to Gzip every page but not sure how to go on this one....

$_post Varible For Multiple Pages
I am not able to use the global variable for multiple pages using PHP 4.3 version while everything is clear in the PHP.inc file.
I am using a submit button with post method. The value using $_post is available for the immediate post but not available for subsequent pages. I am not able to use global vairables in *.inc file using include function.

Article Split Into Multiple Pages
I have a website with articles from a MySQL database and i know its possible to split an article into multiple pages because i have a thing from http://xhawk.net/projects/yaapi/ that shows the intro when a id=?? is used and then displayes the rest when id=??&page=1 is used. ok

But when i try to edit the code it is hard to extract the bits that actually split the article up.

Is is possible to o the following things:show the article in multiple pagesshow a 'next' and 'back' linksuse tags such as #intro# and #page#not have coding like the above url use, when i say that i mean using a main file to do everything from and then a another page to actually show it.

Dividing Articles Into Multiple Pages?
I'm using GeekLog (modified) to have a site with articles. Some articles are large, and I would like a simple way to divide them into pages. Now there was ages since I coded any PHP, and when I did I was not exactly a master. I don't have any time to learn again, so would really appreciate any help. What I thought of, is some simple function that displays the text between some tags.

For example, if I insert this into a article: [page=1] some text [page=2] more text [page=3], you get the point. And when it displays the article it show the text between page=1 and page=2, then automatically adds a link to next page and etc. This shouldn't be so hard? Anybody would like to help me?

Session Variables Across Multiple Pages
I'm busy fiddling with sessions under PHP5, and very quickly learned
what I would have found out even sooner in the PHP manual - declaring
your session variable on page1.php makes it available on page2.php
(assuming that's the next page you load) but doesn't then make it
available on page3.php unless you respecify it on page2.php. I'm sure
there's a very good reason for it, and I know I can get around it by
using a database and the session ID, but I would really like to know:
why? I've already searched, but can't find any more information on the
issue.

Passing An Array Through Multiple Pages
I have a form that creates an array. That array (on the next page) is expanded in a loop and then compared to an SQL database for a display of items. I need to know how to pass that array from this page to the next for a similar expansion and for SQL data entry.

I tried to create a new array in the loop but it did not work. I am new at this so if I have my original array (array[[]) can't this be passed through multiple pages and have each page perform a different function on it?

Breaking Up Text For Multiple Pages
I was recently put in charge of heading up my company's website, and
while I have a lot of experience on the design side of things, I'm
still very new to the programming side. When I started, the website had
just gotten a revision, but the site was an utter mess, so I've been
trying to fix it up. As I've gone along, I've learned some aspects of
PHP, but my knowledge is still very limited.

Here is the problem I'm trying to fix. A backend is used to enter
information into our MySQL database, and then a page template pulls it
out to make the page. For our reviews, the PHP coding currently breaks
up the review's text so that it can be places across multiple pages.
The problem is, the way the text breaking was set up, the end of one
page and the beginning of the next are totally chaotic, with breaks
often coming mid-sentence.

Here is what I'd love: other coding automatically puts an HTML break at
the end of paragraphs, and then another in the space between one
paragraph and the next. I'd love to have the code search for when those
double breaks come up, and then break up the text after, say, every
sixth pair of HTML breaks. I'd also like the option to break the text
myself by putting in some sort of text code in the original text. At
this point, though, anything that can make the breaks more elegant
would be a huge improvement.

I really appreciate any help anybody can give me in this one. Please
remember that I know very little of PHP, and I'm not much of a
programmer anyhow, so things that you may take for granted that people
would understand about PHP, I might not know.

I tried to pull out what I thought was the current coding for the text
break. Here it is. I'd also like to get rid of the part1/part2 factor.
Before, they had the text breaking to help in fitting into the layout
around an image, but I've fixed that so I no longer need the break. So,
that portion no longer needs to be a factor.

if ($page == ""){
$page = 1;
}
$no_letters = strlen($Game_Full_Story);
$times = ($no_letters / 3800) +1;
$Game_Full_Story = wordwrap($Game_Full_Story,3800,"*#^");
$Game_Full_Story = explode ("*#^", $Game_Full_Story);
$pages = array();
for ($i=0; $i<$times ; $i++){
$part[$i] = $Game_Full_Story[$i];
if ($i != 0){
array_push($pages, $i);
}
}
$page = $page-1;
$story = $part[$page];
if (strlen($story) < 460){
$parts1 = $story;
}else{
$story = wordwrap($story,460,"*#^");
$story = explode ("*#^", $story);
$parts1 = $story[0];
$count = count($story);
$parts2="";
for ($i=1; $i<$count; $i++){
$parts2 .=$story[$i];
$parts2 .=" ";
}
}

Displaying Multiple Items From Database
what i have is a page that has four sections. what i want to have is when the page opens, in that page i want the lastest two items for each section from a database to be displayed. the items to be displayed are an image, a title and a description. but i also want the description to be shortend to say about 25-30 words or about 100 chars, if thats easier?

so in the end i have 4 sections, each showing the lastest two items for each section.

would the best way to do this be to have a seperate table in the database for each of the sections? or would i be able to do it from one table?

would i have to creat a query for each of the sections?
e.g:
SELECT * FROM table WHERE section=section

Uploading And Displaying Multiple Images
I am building a website where people can post jobs that need to be done and have laborers bid on them.... Im done with pretty much everything on the site but im having a hard time figuring out how to upload and display multiple images for each job.... I am able to upload and display one image but i can upload multiple images.... Everytime I try to do so, It only displays multiple copies of the first image that i upload. Code:

Generating Multiple PHP Pages W/ Different Quries On Each Page
I'm writing a guestbook. So far, so good, except now I need multiple pages. How would I write my scrpt to automatically generate multiple pages (or the same page, just changing query variables on it)?

For example, if I limit a page to 10 posts and the page exceeds 10 posts, and I press "Next page", I want it to display the next 10 posts.

Carrying Over Variables From A Form To Multiple Pages...
I have some data from text fields that are being passed over through a
form that I am displaying with the $_POST superglobal. Once i have
echo'd out this data onto the next page, i'd like to continue to use
it on the next page. I haven't figured out how to do this properly
just yet, but I'm guessing it has something to do with sessions. I
have MANY variables being passed (over 100) and I'm hoping i don't
have to register each one of these manually with $_SESSION[].

example.

//first page (index.html)

<form action="form.php" method="post">
<select name="color"><option value="blue">blue</option><option
value="red">red</option>
<input name="submit" type="submit">

//new page (form.php)
<?php
echo "Bill's favorite color is {$_POST['color']}";
?>
////

Now say I want to use this $_POST['color'] value on another page that
the form.php takes you to next.....how do i continue to use this value
across multiple pages?

I'm assuming this is a trivial question, but i can't seem to figure it
out!

Sorting DB Entries Over Multiple Pages (and Columns)
I am making an image gallery, and have previously had problems sorting the database entries over several columns, that is now sorted.

However, I don't know how to make the entries on page 2 to begin from image 10, page 3 to begin from image 19 etc (given that I am using a 3x3 table so 9 images per page. Here is the code that prints the URLs of the images (i am working with text, rather than IMG tags until it works): PHP Code:

Parse Multiple Pages With Curl Session
I'm having trouble parsing multiple pages in a curl session..

I am using curl to parse a page that requires a cookie, I can do that fine and store the information that I need using
$result=curl_exec($ch);

and then parsing $result

after doing that, I want to go to another page and parse that one, I change the variable $url and then use

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL,$url);
$result=curl_exec($ch);

but $result is the same page as the first one :-(

why am I getting the same contents for $result?
