I've tried a computer at home and at work and it works fine but a lot of people are getting

I don't understand what the problem could be. Any ideas?

The code:

<!doctype html public "-//w3c//dtd html 3.2//en">

<style type="text/css" media="screen">@import "index.css";</style>
</head>

<body>
<div class="header">
<img src="/daily_planet/news/newfilm/newfilmtitle.jpg">
</div>

<?
 include("xxx.php");

$page_name="index.php"; 

if(!isset($start)) {                

$start = 0;
}

$eu = ($start - 0); 
$limit = 10;                                 // No of records to be shown per page.
$this = $eu + $limit; 
$back = $eu - $limit; 
$next = $eu + $limit; 


// Count recs//
$query2=" SELECT * FROM news ";
$result2=mysql_query($query2);
echo mysql_error();
$nume=mysql_num_rows($result2);

$query=" SELECT tblNewsID, tblNewsTitle, tblNewsText, tblNewsURL, DATE_FORMAT(tblNewsDate,'%W, %D %M, %Y') AS Ndate FROM news ORDER BY Ndate DESC limit $eu, $limit ";



$result=mysql_query($query);
echo mysql_error();
?>



<div class="content">
<?php


while($query = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
?>
<h1>
<?php
echo $query[Ndate];
?>
</h1>
<h2>
<?php
echo $query[tblNewsTitle]; ?><br/>
</h2>
<?php
echo $query[tblNewsText]; ?><br/>

<?php
 print "<a href='$query[tblNewsURL]'>CLICK HERE FOR DETAILS</font></a>";
print "<br/>";
print "<br/>";
}

?>

</div>
<div class="content">

<table><tr>
<?php
$i=0;
$l=1;
for($i=0;$i < $nume;$i=$i+$limit){
?>
<td>
<?php
if($i <> $eu){
	?>

<?php
echo " <a href='$page_name?start=$i'><h1>$l</h1></a> ";
}
else { echo "<font face='Verdana' size='4' color=red>$l</font>";}        /// Current page is not displayed as link and given font color red
$l=$l+1;
?>
</td>
<?php
}

///////////// If we are not in the last page then Next link will be displayed. Here we check that /////
//if($this < $nume) { 
//print "<a href='$page_name?start=$next'><font face='Verdana' size='2'>NEXT</font></a>";}

Hi panavision,

The first thing to check is that xxx.php exists on the server and is in the same folder as your script. It might be an idea to put ...

include './xxx.php';

... to make explicit that that's where it should be.

The script you've pasted up ... there are quite a few bad practises in there (like using $query[tblNewsText] instead of $query['tblNewsText'], using $start instead of $_GET['start']) ... one or two unusual things (use of mysql_error(), HTML doctype with XHTML tags <br />), a few omissions (<head> ) and a few extras (</font>) :queasy:

I don't mean to be harsh, but there's a whole lot of basic debugging you could do before posting to the forum 😉

Come back if you need help knowing how to go about doing it.

Paul.

Hi, sorted it, captial letter in the directory name :o

I'll change the doctype to xhtml.

Thanks for taking your time
