$genre_id = $_GET['id'];   
  $items = ITEMS_PER_PAGE; 
  if(isset($_GET['page']))
 {
    $offset = $_GET['page']; 
    $offset *= $items; 
    $query = 'select * from artist where genre_id = '.mysql_real_escape_string($genre_id)." limit $offset,$items"; 
 }
 else  
 {
    $query = 'select * from artist where genre_id = '.mysql_real_escape_string($genre_id); 
 } 
 $allArtists = mysql_query($query);

tags, syntax highlighting

select * doesnt allow "us" to see the column names, Is there a column "name" $items = // are you sure about this definition it doesnt look right $items = $_GET['ITEMS_PER_PAGE']; // looks more usual to me what is the exact error message and where did you put the order by clause in this code[code=php] tags, syntax highlighting
