Goal - find the correct page [results.php?page=x] when linking from another page.
Current method - loop through a pagination function looking for the matching $id in an array [simplified for illustration]:
[find $maxpages]
$page =1;
$catch=array();
while($page <= $maxpages) {
[set start #]
$result = [get sql results - limit $startnumber, 12]
while($record = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
extract($record);
$catch[] = $found_id;
}
if(in_array($real_id, $catch, TRUE)) {
$here = $page;
}
$page++;
}echo "results.php?page=$here";
I never seem to get a "true" return on in_array(), and in testing, I don't seem to be getting a full result set with my look up.
I feel that I am missing something in the logic - or I am approaching this from the wrong direction.
I originally wanted to do the while test as "if in_array is FALSE, continue loop" but I couldn't get that to work at all.
Thank you for any help you can give this newbie.
