Thanks QUIDO2004, I am have a few more problems with the same code. I am making a photo gallery I have a database with 3 tables main_cat, galleries, and photos. The page that displays the main categories works fine.
<?php
include('include/dbconfig.php');
$tableName="main_cat";
$targetpage = "categories.php";
$limit = 12;
$query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tableName";
$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];
$stages = 3;
$page = mysql_escape_string($_GET['page']);
if($page){
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit;
}else{
$start = 0;
}
// Get page data
$query1 = "SELECT * FROM $tableName ORDER BY cat LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query1);
// Initial page num setup
if ($page == 0){$page = 1;}
$prev = $page - 1;
$next = $page + 1;
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);
$LastPagem1 = $lastpage - 1;
$paginate = '';
if($lastpage > 1)
{
$paginate .= "<div class='paginate'>";
// Previous
if ($page > 1){

<?php

$page = mysql_escape_string($_GET['page']);
if($page){
$start = ($page - 1) * $limit;
}else{
$start = 0;
}
// Get page data
$query1 = "SELECT * FROM $tableName WHERE cat = $cat ORDER BY title LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query1);
// Initial page num setup
if ($page == 0){$page = 1;}
$prev = $page - 1;
$next = $page + 1;
$lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);

$paginate = '';

When I click on a category the galleries.php page comes up just fine it echo’s the correct category and counts the number of results just fine. But it does not show any of the results. When I click to go to page 2 or 3 it comes up with errors that $cat is undefined, and
Warning: mysql_fetch_array() expects parameter 1 to be resource, boolean given in F:\wamp\www\gallery\galleries.php on line 347
And still does not show any results. Is there any other way to pass variables instead of using “galleries.php?cat=”.$row[‘cat’].“”
You’ll have to add &cat=$cat to the pagination links, because the galleries script expects that value in the query string.
Never trust any data that comes from the user, so don’t use the values from $_GET in a query without sanitizing them. Is $_GET[‘cat’] supposed to be numeric? Then cast it with (int), so it will be numeric (if it wasn’t then it will now be 0).
To get the number of rows from the table for pagination, you must use the same WHERE conditions as you do in the query that gets the data to display on the page. If you have 100 rows in the table, but only 5 satisfy the WHERE conditions, then you don’t want to base your pagination links on the 100, but on the 5.
If you don’t get any results on the first gallery page, then maybe your query doesn’t return any results. Do an echo of $query1, and check if it is as you expect. If it is, then copy and paste it into phpMyAdmin to see if it works and returns any results.
