Help me out guys. I am probably being such a bonehead but I can't figure out where I've gone wrong with this code for adding Next/Prev buttons to my pages:

$

ID = $_GET;


$limit=2; // rows to return
$numresults=mysql_query("SELECT * from fragrances WHERE ID=$ID ORDER BY title");
$numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);


// next determine if offset has been passed to script, if not use 0
if (empty($offset)) {
$offset=0;
}


// get results
$result=mysql_query("ima_link, title, size, rrp, £, SHO, cli_link, buy_link ".
"from fragrances WHERE ID=$ID ".
"ORDER BY title LIMIT $offset,$limit");


// now you can display the results returned
echo "<table border='0' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' width='500'>";
while($row = mysql_fetch_array( $numresults )) {
// Print out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr><td align='center' bgcolor='#ffffff' rowspan='2' valign='top' width='125'>";
echo $row;
echo "</td><td align='center' bgcolor='#ffffff' valign='top' width='250'><p class='main_title'>";
echo $row;
echo "</p></td><td align='center' bgcolor='#ffffff' rowspan='2' valign='top' width='125'><p class='main_type'>";
echo $row . " ". $row;
echo "</p><p class='main_rrp'>RRP £";
echo $row;
echo "</p><p class='main_£'>DFUK £";
echo $row;
echo "</p><p class='main_shop'>";
echo $row;
echo "</p><p class='main_buttons'>";
echo $row . $row;
echo "</p></td></tr><tr><td align='center' bgcolor='#ffffff' valign='top' width='250'><p class='main_manufacturer'>";
echo $row;
echo "</p></td></tr><tr><td align='center' bgcolor='#ffffff' colspan='3' valign='top' width='500'><hr color='#999999' width='95%'></hr>";
echo "</td></tr>";
}


echo "</table>";
// include code to display results as you see fit


// next we need to do the links to other results


if ($offset==1) { // bypass PREV link if offset is 0
$prevoffset=$offset-20;
print "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?offset=$prevoffset\">PREV</a> &nbsp; \n";
}


// calculate number of pages needing links
$pages=intval($numrows/$limit);


// $pages now contains int of pages needed unless there is a remainder from division
if ($numrows%$limit) {
// has remainder so add one page
$pages++;
}


for ($i=1;$i<=$pages;$i++) { // loop thru
$newoffset=$limit*($i-1);
print "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?offset=$newoffset\">$i</a> &nbsp; \n";
}


// check to see if last page
if (!(($offset/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {
// not last page so give NEXT link
$newoffset=$offset+$limit;
print "<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?offset=$newoffset\">NEXT</a><p>\n";
}


?>

I've obviously left out the connection details for privacy and I know the table syntax is abysmal. i'm just trying to sort out the large functionality before i tackle the smaller issues. lol.

What appears to be wrong is the $limit and the subsequent offset pages. Here's an example for you all to muster over. You can see the limit is not reduced to "2" like it's supposed to be.

have discovered at least that i had forgotten to add "ID=$ID&" following the $PHP_SELF for all it's subsequent links. i'm still unsure as to why it's not limiting the products displayed however.

help!

If you really looking for answer, you probably need to post it in PHP forum...

If you have queries relating to database(MySQL) post here.
