Ok, so you have to put the 'Offset-Event-Handler' prior to your
select-statement. $Offset is calculatet by the event-handler and
then you specify the LIMIT (already done in your skript):
// specify LIMIT
$limit = "LIMIT ";
$limit .= $Offset;
$limit .= ", 10";
... here comes your query ...
after displaying the results, build something like this (in HTML):
<FORM Name="Navigation" Action="<?php echo $PHP_SELF; ?>" Method="POST">
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="First" Value="First">
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="Prev" Value="Prev.">
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="Next" Value="Next">
<INPUT Type="Submit" Name="Last" Value="Last">
<INPUT Type="Hidden" Name="Offset" Value="<?php echo $Offset; ?>">
</FORM>
... so you have your $Offset (initially zero) stored in the hidden field.
If you hit a Button, then the skript loads itself new and it has now the
var's $Offset which will be new calculatet regarding of the Button you hit.
Simple, ain't ?! >8)=)
I hope, you're getting closer.
BTW, there are ready Navigateable Recordset-Classes for results in
