i later found a different method. using the math of

$totalpages = ceil($sqltotalposts['id'] / $limit);

and

$set_limit = $page * $limit - ($limit-1);

which made a lot more sense and worked a lot more fluidly.

sorry for the negative comment but i think this tutorial contains bad methods.

$numpages = ceil($numposts / $perpage);
for($i = 1; $i < $numpages + 1; $i++)
{
if($i = 1)
$start = 0;
else
$start = $perpage * i;
echo ‘<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.$start.’" rel="nofollow">’.$i.’</a> ‘;
}

I made another pagination code a few years ago that had numbers, but I have no idea what it is.

I modified it so it reads a file (to where all the entries are written) into an array using "file()" (I haven’t got mysqlDB) and it works like a charm!

You wouldn’t happen to have a tip on how to number the pages instead of just giving the option of next and previous page? (e.g )

I thought mabye
if($start = 0)
{
$text .= ‘1|<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.($start + $perpage).’" rel="nofollow">2</a>|<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.($start + $perpage + $perpage).’" rel="nofollow">3</a>’;
}
elseif($start = $perpage)
{
$text .= ‘<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.($start - $perpage).’" rel="nofollow">1</a>|2|<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.($start - $perpage).’" rel="nofollow">3</a>|<a href="guestbook.php?start=’.($start + $perpage + $perpage).’" rel="nofollow">4</a>’;
}

elseif($start = $perpage + $perpage)
….etc.

But this seems a bit more laborous than it should…

Any bright thoughts?

echo $text;
