I'm having trouble with the following code from a tutorial, it seems very simple but there must be something I'm missing. There is nothing at all where my numbered page menu should be, can anyone see why?
if (isset($_GET["page"])) { // get page number for query
$page = $_GET["page"];
}
else {
$page = 1; // no page number? set it
};
$start_from = ($page-1) * 20;
$query = "SELECT * FROM posts";
$query.= " WHERE isstart = 'y' AND iscomplete = 'n' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT $start_from, 20";
$start_from, 20"; // use LIMIT (and options) to make sure only 20 are displayed
$result = mysql_query($query);
$query_count = "SELECT COUNT(post_ID) FROM posts WHERE isstart = 'y'";
$count_result = mysql_query($query_count);
$count_results = mysql_fetch_row($count_result);
$total_posts = $count_results[0];
$total_pages = ceil($total_posts / 20); // get total pages needed for page menu
for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++) { // set the page numbers
$pagelink = "Page: <a href='index_test.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a>"; // make the page menu
};
$top_body_text = '<p align="left">'.$pagelink.'</p>';
Currently my statement echo'ing $pagelink creates noting.
