well, establish how many you want per page ($perpage = 25). so your first limit will obviously be 0 and 25.
since the offset is 0, there is no back button page 1, and the forward button is something like view.php?offset=25. then on subsequent pages, you use the $offset and $perpage to create the LIMIT statement. the links are created by taking the $offset (currently 25) and minusing/adding the $perpage figure. <A HREF="view.php?offset=<? echo $offest - $perpage; ?>">back</a> <A HREF="view.php?offset=<? echo $offest + $perpage; ?>">forward</a> Then you only have to watch out to make sure that the forward button isn't there on the last page of results. It's hard to explain, easy to implement. Just sit down and think it through. Justin French on 27/06/02 5:55 PM, Aqua ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) wrote: > The LIMIT function is working, thanks.
