Paging Problems

[daveeboi]

Your not quite there with this.[PHP]if (!empty($pagenu m))
{
$pagenum = 1;
}
echo $pagenum;[/PHP] empty returns true if the variable is empty and NOT will flip this. Try to be a little more diligent [PHP]if (empty($pagenum ))
{
$pagenum = 1;
}
echo $pagenum;[/PHP]

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean with the last post. Could you explain please.

Your test is asking

If pagenum is NOT empty, set pagenum to 1

I have re-written to say

If pagenum IS empty, set pagenum to 1

The only difference is the '!' meaning NOT

Oops, sorry I didn't see the adjustment. Just put that in and that has given pagenum an initial value now, when I clicked onto the 2nd page pagenum value was 22!

22? I assume these are the offending lines. [PHP]$next = $pagenum+1;
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?pagenum=$next '>Next -></a> ";[/PHP] Then pagenum must be 21.
You haven't changed the hyperlink string to how I suggested.
It's probably OK it is just not the way I write them.
When using mathematical operators always ensure all variables are initialised.
If not they may contain spurious data.
This may not be the problem.
I cannot spot the problem so I suggest echoing out the variables throughout to see where their values are changing
