I understand your frustration. Please send me the complete code that you are working on as an attachment in an email – I will take a look and try to solve the issue as soon as possible.

while ($idetails = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
  printf ("<a></a>",
           $idetails['ID'],
           $idetails['IFileName']);
}

But I do notice that you are not specifying (may be you did and the Comment Form didn’t display it) any ‘%s’ in your printf statement. A code-block with %s in the above case would look like:

while ($idetails = mysql_fetch_array($result1)) {
  printf ("%s, %s",
           $idetails['ID'],
           $idetails['IFileName']);
}

The first %s gets replaced with the value of $idetails['ID'] and the second %s gets replaced with the value of $idetails['IFileName'].

Hope this helps.

do {
      printf("<a></a>", $idetails["ID"], $idetails['IFileName']);
    } while ($idetails = mysql_fetch_array($result1));
  }

Thank you very much for help.

I only use for page pagination. I also noticed you do 2 query’s for next and previous field. I’ve done some research, after searching alot i found i way of doing in only one query:

I haven’t tested to check if it’s faster than doing 3 single queries, but it’s a different interresting solution. About the count and select field variants, i’ve tryed in databases with 2 million records and it’s the same, so i guess i’ll stick with the count for pagination.

Thank you for your response.

Which one do you use (a one step approach OR a two step approach) sometimes depends on the aesthetics – how good, elegant, small you want your code to be

Witch is faster ?

You normally use: SELECT field FROM tablename
I normally use: SELECT count(field) FROM tablename

From my testings it’s the same, i’ve tryed with small and medium databases, but i always looking for experience people to teach me. I wonder if you can help me ?
