great another one ****ing gives up....can't anyone goddamn help me????

I did not "give up". Because you did not post the code, I had to go through the inconvenience of starting up a browser, and then manuever to the page to see this. (newlines mine)

Page: <b>1</b>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=30>2</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=60>3</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=90>4</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=120>5</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=150>6</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=180>7</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=210>8</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=240>9</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=270>10</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=300>11</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=330>12</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=360>13</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=390>14</a>,
 <a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=5&min=420>15</a>,

Because this is what you want, you think the code "works".
But look at the math
for ($x=1;$x<=$pages;$x++)
//sets value of $x to 1 for the first pass through loop
$startat = (($x-1) * 30);
//$startat is equal to 0 times 30
if($startat == $min)
// 0 is "equal to" undefined (or empty) - both considered "false"

You need to set the value of $min
(as stated in post #8 over 2 hours ago by markl999)

oh thank god i thought you left me... so what would i set $min = to??

by the way sorry for the inconvience i jsut didn't understand what code you were asking for...

[Mittineague]

That depends. What does it represent, anything? Is it just a variable used for operations? I see that it increments by 30 each page, is that significant or just arbitrary?

[®ed®um Løki]

no idea... someone jsut showed me this script and i am trying to run with it... i don't think it matters

[Mittineague]

I'm guessing that "min" is short for "minimum". (as in results per page) If so, I think 0 would be an appropriate value. Simply setting $min = 0; will work for the data base query, but the loop code will have to be changed since the conditional is faulty.
Currently it's like this

for ($x=1;$x<=$pages;$x++)
{
$startat = (($x-1) * 30);
if($startat == $min)
{
echo "<b>$x</b>";
}
if($startat != $min)
{
echo "<a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=$id&min=$startat>$x</a>";
}
echo ", ";
} 

Try changing it to this

for ($x=1;$x<=$pages;$x++){
   if($x==1){
      $startat = 0;
      echo "<b>$x</b>";
   } else {
   $startat = (($x-1) * 30);
   echo "<a href=?action=editlocationlog&id=$id&min=$startat>$x</a>";
   }
echo ", ";
} 

Or, after setting $min's value to the number 0, change the conditional to

if($startat === $min)

works like a charm.... Thank you so much for putting up with my stupidness and frustration... and sticking in there to help me out...
