Hi,

Giving page=15 is a "direct" method by which you can use the argument "page" directly with LIMIT. If you are passing pages as 0, 1, 2, 3 you can multiply it with 15. If its starting with 1, multiply page-1 with 15. Your perl script may look like


my $q       = new CGI;
my $page    = $q->param("page") || '0'; #default 0
my $count   = $q->param("count") || 15; # more flexibility. you can pa
+ss the No of records as count :), defaults to 15

$offset = $page * count; # assumes that page no starts with 0.
#$offset = ($page-1) * count; # assumes that page no starts with 1. Co
+mment previous line and uncomment this if you wish to start page from
+ 1

$SQL = "SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT $offset, $count";

There are three sides to any argument.....
your side, my side and the right side.

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.
