Problem with mysql query in paging
- by jasmine
I have a very simple paging and mysql query. Im not sure that my query is right:
$perPage =4;
$page= (isset($GET['page']) && is_numeric($GET['page'])) ? $_GET['page'] : 1;
$start = ($page * $perPage ) - $perPage ;
if (is_numeric($_GET['cID'])){$cid = $_GET['cID'];}
$totalCount = sprintf("SELECT COUNT(*) as 'Total' FROM content WHERE catID = %d", $cid ) ;
$count = mysql_query($totalCount);
$rowCount = mysql_fetch_array($count);
$sql = sprintf("SELECT id, title, abstract, content_image FROM content WHERE catID = %d ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT %d, %d", $cid, $start, $perPage );
$query = mysql_query($sql) or die(mysql_error());
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($query)){
echo $row['id'].' : '. $row['title'] .'<br>';
}
with
/categories.php?cID=1&page=2 and /categories.php?cID=1&page=1
The output is:
95 : titlev
94 : titlex
93 : titlec
92 : titleb
and not changed. What is wrong in my query?
Thanks in advance
