From: Joe Keenan on 23 Jan 2010 15:16 I have tried adding the name to the pagination url which gave me "http://..........results_1.php?currentpage=2&&author_name=Editorial" Once again no further results were returned. The pagination urls were in place but empty, no pages existed for them. coding sessions in this context is beyond me. Thanks Joe.

From: Joe Keenan on 23 Jan 2010 15:23 I have tested the script with echo() which shows that the correct $numrows is returned and then $totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage); Everything is correct on the first page of results. The pagination links are displayed correctly but when clicked on the resulting page is empty. For some reason I do not understand the result set does not carry through to the succeeding links in the pagination sequence.

From: Joe Keenan on 23 Jan 2010 16:26 This is all that results from the included script on the 2nd display page: <div id="c-col"> <div align="center"> <h3>Articles by </h3> <h4>(There are 0 articles in the database.)</h4> </div> <p></p> <div align="center"> <a href='results_1.php?currentpage=2&author_name='><em>Next</em></ a> <a href='results_1.php?currentpage=0&author_name='>>></a> </div> </div> Given that the where clause in the original query is "WHERE author_name = '$author_name' " I cannot see how passing the author_name in the pagination url will help. Should I somehow pass $author name which was originally picked up from a form as '$author_name = '$author_name = $_POST["author_name"];' Clearly I am at a loss here. Could anyone suggest anything in the PHP Manual, or any tutorial or anything at all on the web about sustaining a result set through pagination links when the SELECT clause of the query is modified by a WHERE clause containing a variable. As it stands I am unable to construct a search engine query to cover the matter. Thanks Joe.
