Re: is there a better way
a friend of mine has done this,
- PHP: Select all
<?php
//get this month and year
$month = date("n");
$year = date("Y");
$jump = isset($_POST['jump']) ? $_POST['jump'] : (isset($_GET['jump']) ? $_GET['jump'] : $month);
require('main.php');
$month_tots = array();
for ($i=1; $i<=12; $i++) $month_tots[$i] = 0; // ensure total for every month
$res = mysql_query ("SELECT MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) as mth, COUNT(*) AS num
FROM form
WHERE YEAR(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) = '$year'
GROUP BY mth");
while (list($mth, $num) = mysql_fetch_row($res))
{
$month_tots[$mth] = $num; // put month totals in the array
}
/**
* create the dropdown
*/
echo '<form method="POST">
<select name="jump" id="jump" onchange="location.href=this.options[this.selectedIndex].value">';
foreach ($month_tots as $m => $num)
{
$sel = $jump==$m ? 'selected':'';
$dt = date ('F Y', mktime(0,0,0,$m, 1, $year));
echo "<option value='index.php?jump=$m' $sel>$dt ($num)</option>";
}
echo '</select></form>'; ?>
<?php mysql_close($conn); ?>
but i need to separate the pagementation from the drop down box ( totally seperate so i can 'include' each where i want in my site, at the moment the pagementation is directly above the jump menu
- PHP: Select all
<?php include 'config.php';
global $jump;
$conn = mysql_connect($dbhost, $dbuser, $dbpass) or die ('Error connecting to mysql');
mysql_select_db( $dbname, $conn );
$perPage = 5; // number to display on per page
// Start by counting the number of posts
$res = mysql_query ("SELECT count(*) AS num FROM form WHERE MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) = '".$jump."' ") or die (mysql_error() . 'dying hurts');
$num = mysql_fetch_assoc($res);
$num = $num['num'];
mysql_free_result($res);
// now work out how many pages there are, check if page has been sent via GET
$numPages = ceil($num / $perPage);
// Check to make sure pagenum will be 1 or greater, less than numpages and an actual number
$pageNum = (!empty($_GET['id']) &&
is_numeric($_GET['id']) &&
$_GET['id'] > 1)
? ($_GET['id'] < $numPages ? ($_GET['id']) : $numPages) : 1; // Set to 1 if not set or something dodgy
// Okay, now we run the query and set the limits LIMIT xx, yy (x= start from , y= limit)
$sql = "SELECT * FROM form WHERE MONTH(FROM_UNIXTIME(date)) = '".$jump."' ORDER BY date DESC LIMIT " . ($pageNum - 1) * $perPage . ", $perPage";
$res = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or die(mysql_error());
while ($row = mysql_fetch_object($res))
{
echo '<hr></hr>';
print $row->title ;
echo nl2br("\n");
print strftime('%d %B %Y', $row->date);
echo nl2br("\n");
echo nl2br("\n");
print $row->blog_mes;
}
// Some paginananananananation
echo '<div>';
for ($i = 1; $i <= $numPages; $i++)
{
if ($pageNum != $i)
echo '<a href="index.php?id=', $i, '">', $i, '</a> ';
else
echo '<b>', $i, '</b>';
}
echo '</div>';
?>
