in thread how to put links on the bottom of an image gallery

I like the idea but page=15 for the second page is a little misleading. Either use a next=## instead of page=## or add some equations to produce accurate page descriptions 1,2,3,etc.

    Hi,

    Giving page=15 is a "direct" method by which you can use the argument "page" directly with LIMIT. If you are passing pages as 0, 1, 2, 3 you can multiply it with 15. If its starting with 1, multiply page-1 with 15. Your perl script may look like

    my $q = new CGI; my $page = $q->param("page") || '0'; #default 0 my $count = $q->param("count") || 15; # more flexibility. you can pa +ss the No of records as count :), defaults to 15 $offset = $page * count; # assumes that page no starts with 0. #$offset = ($page-1) * count; # assumes that page no starts with 1. Co +mment previous line and uncomment this if you wish to start page from + 1 $SQL = "SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT $offset, $count"; ... <rest of your code> ...
    Hope this helps :)

    Cheers !

    There are three sides to any argument.....
    your side, my side and the right side.

      I'd also test that the arguments page/count/whatever don't contain any sql injections.
      e.g. if $count in this command "SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT $offset, $count";
      would contain "15; update users set password='hacked';" both statements will be executed:
      "SELECT * FROM your_table ORDER BY id LIMIT 0, 15; update users set password='hacked';"

      Since both count and offset should be numerical I'd do something like $count =~ s/\D*//g
      This will remove any nondigit character.
