Hi,

Why dont you try  LIMIT in MySQL?

you can have your SQL as

SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT 0, 15
[download]

here limit statement will limit the number of records returned. In limit statement, 1st numeric value is the first record to be returned (offset) and 2nd numeric value is the number of records (row count). i.e. LIMIT 0, 15 will return 1st 15 records ( 0th to 14th)LIMIT 15, 15will return next 15 records ( 15th to 29th) and so on. For more details pllease refer to SELECT Syntax

Your link can be like "script.pl?page=0&orderby=id" page 1 | "script.pl?page=15&orderby=id" to enable pagination.

A step-by-step procedure to get pagination explained at Re: DB Search.

Cheers !

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
