Problem with Pagination code

[RoomfulExpress]

The only problem I'm having with this code is when there are no values returned for the query, it is still allowing you to see and click the 'Next>>'. It disappears when there is at least one return on the search, but when there is none, it shows up. Here is where I got the source code from and of course the forum is 404'd. They're code has the exact same problem as my modified code.

my code:

<?php
 
  // Get the search variable from URL
 
  $var = @$_GET['KEYWORDS'] ;
  $trimmed = trim($var); //trim whitespace from the stored variable
 
// rows to return
$limit=8; 
 
 
// check for a search parameter
if (!isset($var))
  {
  echo "<p>Our online inventory doesn't currently contain what you're looking for. Please visit a store for complete selection.</p>";
  exit;
  }
 
mysql_connect("sql002.choiceone.net","roomfulexpress","x47rkv7N"); //(host, username, password)
mysql_select_db("roomfulexpress") or die("Unable to select database"); //select which database we're using
 
// Build SQL Query  
$query = "select * from tblIndividualItem where KEYWORDS like \"%$trimmed%\"  
  order by ITEM_NAME"; // EDIT HERE and specify your table and field names for the SQL query
 
 $numresults=mysql_query($query);
 $numrows=mysql_num_rows($numresults);
 
// If we have no results, offer a google search as an alternative
 
if ($numrows == 0)
  {
  echo "<p>Our online inventory doesn't currently contain what you're looking for. Please visit a store for complete selection.</p>";
  }
 
// next determine if s has been passed to script, if not use 0
  if (empty($s)) {
  $s=0;
  }
 
// get results
  $query .= " limit $s,$limit";
  $result = mysql_query($query) or die("Couldn't execute query");
 
// display what the person searched for
echo "<p>Search for:&nbsp;" . $var . "</p>";
 
// begin to show results set
echo "<p>Results</p>";
$count = 1 + $s ;
 
 
// now you can display the results returned    
  while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
 
 
{
echo("<table>");
echo("<tr>");
    echo("<TD class=noOverflow width=150px><a href=itemprofile.php?SKU=". $row["SKU"] . " target=content> <img src= " . $row["TN"] . " alt=click to view profile /></a></TD>");
echo("</tr>");
echo("<tr>");
    echo("<TD width=150px><h1> " . $row["ITEM_NAME"] . "</h1></TD>");
echo("</tr>");
echo("<tr>");
    echo("<TD width=150px> $" . $row["ITEM_PRICE"] . "</TD>");
echo("</tr>");
    }
 
 
    echo("</table>");
 
 
$currPage = (($s/$limit) + 1);
 
 
 
  //Link to other results
  echo("<div class=nextPrev>");
  if ($s>=1) { // bypass PREV link if s is 0
  $prevs=($s-$limit);
  print "<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$prevs&KEYWORDS=$var\">&lt;&lt; 
  Prev</a></p>";
  }
 
// 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++;
  }
 
// check to see if last page
  if (!((($s+$limit)/$limit)==$pages) && $pages!=1) {
 
  // not last page so give NEXT link
  $news=$s+$limit;
 
  echo "<p>&nbsp;<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?s=$news&KEYWORDS=$var\">Next &gt;&gt;</a></p>";
  }
 
$a = $s + ($limit) ;
  if ($a > $numrows) { $a = $numrows ; }
  $b = $s + 1 ;
  echo "<p>Showing items $b - $a of $numrows items</p>";
  echo "</div>";
?>

Until you get the CODE tags into your post, I'm afraid that I'm not willing to waste time trying to read it. Sorry. However, I have written a tutorial on basic pagination in PHP that you may be interested in. I've also written a much more advanced class, but I've yet to write a tutorial for how it's made.
