Hi,

I think $HTTP_GET_VARS has been deprecated. Just use $_GET[].

The new implementation we are currently using in the last 2 years is this

if(($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "POST")|| ($_SERVER["REQUEST_METHOD"] == "GET")){

## deal with the GET method
function process_get(){

}
## deal with the POST method{

function process_post(){


}

}

By using the above processing method, you can pretty much process any form data coming from all points of your website.. Yes, that includes pagination. YOu will just have to write a simple function for it, or a simple processor class.

There are many closing </a> tags without the opening <a> tag in your table cells. Has this error happened during the copy/paste operations? On line 61 you have a typo <td nowarp> should be <td nowrap>.

Thanks veedeo....have coreected that, Thankz broj1 I had just copied and pasted line 61 for eac of those columms.
My issue is I need the timeleft to be displayed in cell ..line68 but it gets displayed on the right side top of my html table.....how can I fix this newbie (have a function time left that calculates time left from End date)... Thanx in advance

"<td>" .$timeleft = time_left($end)."</td></tr>";

Maybe should be:

"<td>" . time_left($end)."</td></tr>"; 

If the function returns a value.
