Try this function... it's one part of a php class I've been thinking about making open-source. Give it any sql statement and a page (0 based for the page) and a number of records for a page and you are set.
I've only tested this on postgresql. function pageSql( $sql, $page, $recs_per_page ) { $this->isString( '$sql', $sql ); $this->isInt( '$page', $page ); $this->isInt( '$recs_per_page', $recs_per_page ); $sql = trim( $sql ); $sql = substr( $sql, strlen( "SELECT" ) ); if ( $sql[strlen($sql)-1] != ";" ) { $sql .= ";"; } $sql = sprintf( "CREATE TEMP SEQUENCE temp_sequence;\n" . "CREATE TEMP TABLE temp_table AS\n" . " SELECT nextval( 'temp_sequence' ) AS temporary_idASDF, %s\n" . "SELECT ( SELECT COUNT(*) FROM temp_table\n" . " WHERE temporary_idASDF > %d ) AS recs_remaining, \n" . " * FROM temp_table\n" . " WHERE temporary_idASDF > %d\n" . " AND temporary_idASDF < %d\n" . " ORDER BY temporary_idASDF;" , $sql , ( $page + 1 ) * $recs_per_page + 1 , $page * $recs_per_page , ( $page + 1 ) * $recs_per_page + 1 ); return $sql; } On February 12, 2003 11:58 am, Lucas Lain wrote: > Hi.. i'm new at this mailing list and you can say that i'm a newbie in > Php programming :) > i dont know how to pass a connection to a database between pages.
