Pagination help

[MarkyMarchm]

Hello

 

Please can someone help me, I currently have all working on my friends online shop other than the pagination.

 

When clicking a topic say category - products matching that category show, which is fine only if there is more than say 12 records i need to split it between php pages. Again works fine on the first page but when I click previous or last it ignores the id (category) and lists all the products not only under 'Black'

 

I am really new to PHP so if you can help please could you show me on my code below so I can make sense of it.

 

here's my could for the category :-

 

<a href='shop_online2.php?id=<?php echo($row['id']) ?>'>

  <?php echo($row['description']) ?></a>

  <?php } while ($row_cat = mysql_fetch_assoc($cat)); ?>

 

here's my code for the next button :-

 

<?

if (!($start>=$record_count-$per_page))

echo " <a href='shop_online2.php?start= $next '>Next</a> ";

?>

 

Hopefully I will only have to add a variable in the last statement, if so could you please show me the correct formatting for this.

 

Hope this makes sense ??  :-\

 

Thanks

 

Marc

Thanks harristweed

 

I have the pagination side of things sorted, I just don't know what formatting to use on my next button in order for it to work with my current site and filter i'd'

 

If you could possibly show me what I need to add I would be grateful.

 

<?

if (!($start>=$record_count-$per_page))

echo " <a href='shop_online2.php?start= $next '>Next</a> ";

?>

 

 

Thanks
