previous and next navigation

[hisham]

How can display $ records per page with 'previous' and 'next' navigation at the request of the users.
Thanks in advance.

How are you accessing the records? MySQL, a flat text file, a directory of individual record files?...

If using MySQL, use 'LIMIT'

If a flat file, use a 'FOR' or 'WHILE' loop

The navigation links will simply feed an limit to the LIMIT or FOR/WHILE operations.

i found Result Navigator at

http://www.vicus.co.za/scripts/source.php?file=easy_browse.inc

but it didn,t work because of the amm Argument in the function

I looked at easy_browse.inc. The "$amm" argument is just the number of rows/records you want displayed per page. The prototype and an example usage from the .inc file:

function pageBrowser($totalrows,$numLimit,$amm,$queryStr,$numBegin,$begin,$num)

$navigate = pageBrowser($totalrows,10,10,"&name=value",$_GET[numBegin],$_GET[begin],$_GET[num]);

What's not working?

I may just keep that file around for future use. Thanks for the link. --
