Page number links are not appearing in MySQL paginated result set

[Ajm113]

Ok, I am trying to get page numbering going here. Since I have two other strings going on the address bar I need to have it so if a user wanted to goto another page wont loss what he or she is looking for. So far the hole page=1 or etc works fine. Its just the links that I am trying to get to work are messing up on me!

[PHP]//List page numbers


$numOfPages = ceil($rowCount->Total / $perPage);

print" <a href='search.php$search$type&page=1'><< First Page</a>";

if(($pageNumber - $Padding) > 1)
{
$lowerLimit = $pageNumber = $Padding;
for($i = $lowerLimit; $i < $pageNumber; $i++)
{
print "<a href='search.php?orgin=$type&search=$search&page=$ i'>$i</a>";
}
print" <a href='search.php?orgin=$type&search=$search&page=$ numOfPages'>Last Page>></a></center>";
}[/PHP]


For some reason the area where it shows the page numbers is not showing. Even the last page link is not showing aether and also the Goto first page link is not going to the first page correctly!

Changed thread title to better describe the problem (did you know that threads whose titles contain phrases such as 'I need help' actually get FEWER responses?).

The following syntax is wrong

print" <a href='search.php$search$type&page=1'><< First Page</a>";

I'm guessing it should be

print" <a href='search.php?search=$type&page=1'> << First Page</a>"

I would tidy up your quotes. HTML prefers double quotes and php is much faster using single quotes. So wrap strings in single quotes using double quotes inside. When using a php function or variable close the single quote and concatenate with the full stop/period either side and open single quote again. This is parsed much faster.
The double chevron will also confuse some browsers

<< First Page

I can't see where you are showing the page numbers.

When using a php function or variable close the single quote and concatenate with the full stop/period either side and open single quote again. This is parsed much faster.

To expand on this point, PHP parses double-quoted strings for variables and some expressions, but it will not bother if the string is single-quoted. As a general rule, you should avoid using double quotes unless you are including a variable or expression in the string.
