Paging system (VERY NOOB QUESTION)

[KvickaN]

Hello everyone!

 

I'm completely new to PHP and Databases. I've managed to do some nice work by reading, but now I've encountered a problem I can't solve.

 

I made a site with trailers and got tierd of adding them manually. So I created a form which sends the trailer info to my database.

 

There's now trailers in specific organized genres. But the list is beginning to get really big so I wanted to show just 10 trailers per page. And so I found out I could use a paging system which I ALMOST got working. Just one last thing that needs to be fixed and that is when I click on next page "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/test.php&page=2" it doesn't show the content. While "http://www.xxxxxxxx.com/test.php" does.

 

So I just need that next button to work, I don't know if theres something missing or what it is...

 

Note: I'm new to all this so please excuse my very very bad coding.

 

Here is my code:

 

test.php

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.n.nu/createdfiles/trailers/style-twentyten.css" />
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all" href="http://www.xxxxxxxxxxxxx.com/paginate.css" />

<?php

$rpp = 10; // results per page
$adjacents = 4;

$page = intval($_GET["page"]);
if(!$page) $page = 1;

$reload = $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];

// connect to your DB:
$link_id = mysql_connect("server","username","my password");
mysql_select_db("database");

// select appropriate results from DB:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM blablabla WHERE Genre LIKE '%Drama%' ORDER BY `blablabla`.`sort` DESC LIMIT 0, 9999";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $link_id);

// count total number of appropriate listings:
$tcount = mysql_num_rows($result);

// count number of pages:
$tpages = ($tcount) ? ceil($tcount/$rpp) : 1; // total pages, last page number

$count = 0;
$i = ($page-1)*$rpp;
while(($count<$rpp) && ($i<$tcount)) {
    mysql_data_seek($result,$i);
    $query = mysql_fetch_array($result);

    // output each row:
    echo "<br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br /><br />";
?><strong> <img src=" <?php echo $query['Poster'];?>" /><?php
  echo "<br /> <br />";

//////////////////////////////

  echo $query['Title'];

  echo "</div>";
?>
<a href="javascript:ReverseDisplay('<?php echo $query['ID'];?>')">Click to show/hide trailer.</a>
<?php
  echo "</H2>";
  echo "<br /> <br />";

    $i++;
    $count++;
}

// call pagination function:
include("paginate_one.php");
echo paginate_one($reload, $page, $tpages);
?>

<?php

I replaced all "&" with "?" in paginate_one.php and that did the trick! And you made my day!
