only 5 at the time

Hello

I created a php script, it will get the info from mysql and display it.

My question is, I only want to disply 5 records at the time, user have to click next to view 5 more and so on....

I know how to disply all of them at once, but 5 at the time???

Can someone please help me.

Thank you in advance,

Mike

This is what I do for my forum:


$x = 1;
if($threadAmmount > 5)
{
echo '<span id="nameDescrip">Pages: </span>';
if(($_GET['start']-5) >= 0)
{
echo '<a class="arrows" href="page.php?&start='.($_GET['start']-5).'">&lt;</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;';
}
for($i = 0; $i < $threadAmmount; $i+=5)
{
if($_GET['start'] != $i)
{
echo ' &nbsp;<a class="arrows" href="page.php?&start='.$i.'">'.$x.'</a>&nbsp; ';
$x++;
}
else
{
echo ' <span id="nameHeading">[ '.$x.' ] </span> ';
$x++;
}
}
if(($_GET['start']+5) < $threadAmmount)
{
echo '&nbsp;&nbsp;<a class="arrows" href="page.php?start='.($_GET['start']+5).'">&gt;</a>';
}

}



It passes the start through a variable called start ( $_GET['start']; )


$limit = 0;
$query = mysql_query("SOME QUERY");

for($i = 1; $row = mysql_fetch_array($query); $i++)
{
if($limit >= 5)
{
break;
}
else
{
if($i == 0 && $i == $_GET['start'] || $i > $_GET['start'])
{
// Do Whatever with the info
$limit++;
}
}
}


That makes sure you only display the files wanted.

This system also makes a next and back system like on my forum (http://forums.itk-network.com)
