#16713 — Pagination isn't working

I have a little PHP article directory script with pagination at the 
bottom, but it isn't working when you click on pages 2, 3, 4, etc., -- 
it always shows the same 10 entries on the first page. Anyone have an 
idea how I can fix this?

</table><font class=bodylinks>Go To Page :
&nbsp; [1]
&nbsp;<a href="?pg=2&page=category&category_id=86" 
class=bodylinks><strong>2</strong></a>
&nbsp;<a href="?pg=3&page=category&category_id=86" 
class=bodylinks><strong>3</strong></a>
&nbsp;<a href="?pg=4&page=category&category_id=86" 
class=bodylinks><strong>4</strong></a>

You have not shown any php code, particularly what is done with
"?pg=x".

I came up with a quick & dirty workaround, I changed 10 to 50 in 
func.php...

if (!empty($_GET["ps"]))
         $this->ps = (int) $_GET["ps"];
      else
         $this->ps = 50;

No pagination, but at least all the articles are showing. I doubt I'll 
ever have any more than 50 articles in one category (and if I do I can 
just increase it).

... and this is why your "solution" is called a "Hack".

Worse: I stead of fixing the origional problem you now have *two* of them.


You also have not answered Richard Yates question: what the f*ck are you
doing, in your receiving PHP page/code, with the send "pg" variable ?

Also, where are the contents of the first page coming from ?   Entries from
some sort of database ?    Static pages (not common, but possible) ?
Anything else ?

I short: At least *try* to paint a full picture.   Without it we only can
*guess* to what the actual problem is, and experience has teached me that
that is most often a wasted effort. :-(

And a funny thing: When you try to "paint a full picture" (to make the
problem clear to all of us NON-mindreaders here) you will most often realize
the cause of the problem yourself.  In this case : you haven't got the
sightest idea what happens, in the receiving PHP page, with the "pg" data,
and you should start with trying to find that out first.

You're right, Mr. Warmth, I don't have the slightest idea. I'm not a PHP 
programmer, this is someone else's script. That's why I asked for advice 
in here.

As long as all the articles in all the categories are showing now I have 
no problem far as I'm concerned.

Actually I happen to prefer that over pagination, which is usually isn't 
necessary and mostly only used to get more page/ad views.

super70s,

> You're right, Mr. Warmth, I don't have the slightest idea.

True.   No idea how to read PHP for starters.

Thats not the real problem though, as we all started that way.  But you also
do not "have the slightest idea" how to formulate anything near to a usefull
question.

Number two is that Richard Yates puts a straight question forward, which you
have ignored.

Number three is that you think its a good idea to put your big mouth open
against someone who actually tried to inform you you that neither of the
above is a good idea.

> I'm not a PHP programmer, this is someone else's script.

It would have been nice if you mentioned both in your first post, as well as
where we could find that script.

And thats number four: You have absolutily no clue that without that script
there is *absolutily nothing* we could advice you to fix your problem.

Problem number five: You're not even able to write a truthfull subjectline:
pagination is probably working allright, you just haven't got the slightest
how to use it.  And yes, that is a *big* difference.

> That's why I asked for advice in here.

And you got that.  Richard tried to help you, but you ignored it.   I tried
to warn you that that isn't the way to go and also gave you some pointers to
what we need (and why!), and you think its a good idea to complain.

> As long as all the articles in all the categories are showing now
> I have no problem far as I'm concerned.

Oh yes, your immediate problem of not seeing all entries *now* is solved.
The problem still exists though, and will probably bite you in the ass some
day.  At which moment you will most likely have all but forgotten your
arbitrary "lets change that to 50" choice, and again will post a fully
inadequate question asking for some magical help.

Bub, you're making so many mistakes that its simply painfull to read.

Rudy Wieser

So - "ps" ist used. But where is "pg"? Maybe this is just a typo and it
should be:

if (!empty($_GET["pg"]))
         $this->ps = (int) $_GET["pg"];
      else
         $this->ps = 50;

Why does the script assume, that a missing "pg" parameter should be
handled as "show page 50"? Why not just page 0 (or 1, if 1 is the first
page)?

Arno,

> So - "ps" ist used. But where is "pg"?

Nowhere, he couldn't find where its used fast enough, so he dropped it.

From the kids further talk it looks like the "ps" argument determines the
number of entries on a page. His "fix" consists outof changing the number of
displayed entries on the only page he can reach (the first one).

you need to add $this->ps to the variable you use for setting the ?pg=

I wouldn't use empty() to verify that the user input is correct, use a
regular expression or in worst case is_numeric() to validate the input.
