I have used the php pagination tutorial: http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/29.html. And as it said it was easy I did not expect any problems. However, I have encountered one. Now I know for the best results you should see my source code so I shall provide it. The problem is that it queries fine and only displays certain data on the page if the member is right and limits it to only a few per page... However it does not change values when I try to change to see more comments on the next page.
<?php
/* $dbLink = mysql_connect("localhost", "sco0100_james", "creeper");
mysql_query("SET character_set_results=utf8", $dbLink);
mb_language('uni');
mb_internal_encoding('UTF-8');
*/
include('config.php'); // include your code to connect to DB.
$tbl_name="commenttable"; //your table name
$adjacents = 3;
/*
First get total number of rows in data table.
If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
*/
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];
/* Setup vars for query. */
$targetpage = "profile.php?id=$id"; //the name of this file
$limit = 3; //how many items to show per page
$page = $_GET['page'];
if($page)
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit;
//first item to display on this page
else
$start = 0; //if no page var is given, set start to 0
/* Get data. */
$sql = "SELECT id, name, comment, member1, member2 FROM $tbl_name WHERE member2='".$id."' ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0)
$page = 1; //if no page var is given, default to 1.
$prev = $page - 1; //previous page is page - 1
$next = $page + 1; //next page is page + 1
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);
//lastpage is = total pages / items per page, rounded up.
$lpm1 = $lastpage - 1; //last page minus 1
/*
Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object.
We're actually saving the code to a variable in case
we want to draw it more than once.

I suspect the problem could be my $targetpage which opens different data for the profile depending on which id it has for each different user. But I do not know how to correct this, or if this is even the problem... can anyone see whats wrong? (FIXED)
