Having Problems With Pagination Code

[jamesjmann]

Hey, I got this script off phpfreaks in the post "Basic Pagination Code", and got it to work except I'm experiencing this really tiny problem. The script displays only the first row in my table, and displays 127 times, which is how many rows I have total in the table.

 

This is where I have this script running at. You can go there to see what I'm talking about:

This is the code I got and tweaked:

<?php
//your username 
$username = "your username"; 
//your password 
$password = "your password"; 
//your mySQL server 
$host = "your hostname"; 
//The name of the database your table is in 
$database = "your database"; 

//connect, but if there is a problem, display an error message telling why there is a problem 
$conn = mysql_connect($host,$username,$password) or die("Error connecting to Database!<br>" . mysql_error()); 
//Choose the database from your mySQL server, but if there is a problem, display an error telling why 
$db = mysql_select_db($database) or die("Cannot select database!<br>" . mysql_error()); 

// find out how many rows are in the table 
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM comments";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];

// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 10;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);

// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) {
   // cast var as int
   $currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage'];
} else {
   // default page num
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
   // set current page to last page
   $currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
   // set current page to first page
   $currentpage = 1;
} // end if

// the offset of the list, based on current page 
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;

// get the info from the db 
$sql = "SELECT * FROM comments ORDER BY commentid DESC LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);

// while there are rows to be fetched...
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
   // echo data
   if ($name == 'DJ Smiley' && $adminkey == 'adminkey') {

echo("

NVM!

 

I found out that by placing this "extract ($list);" within the while loop, it would display all the comments. works now and thanks so much to crayon violent for sharing that code with us!
