Pagination and Register_globals

tweaky

I am using this code that I found on here as an example:
http://www.phpbuilder.com/snippet/detail.php?type=snippet&id=21

The only thing is register_globals has to be ON.

This must be a bad thing from what I can tell.

How would I change it so it would work with register_globals=Off

Thanks

without looking at the code. whatever variables are being sent through the querystring would need to be referenced from within the $_GET[] array.

so... instaed of something like;

if (isset($page))

it would be;

if (isset($_GET['page']))

same goes for $SERVER, $COOKIE & $_POST. Not that difficult at all 🙂

so this

if ($thisOffset!=0) { $prevOffset = intval($thisOffset-$recordLimit); 
echo "<a style='font-family:$fontfamily; font-size:$fontsize; color:$fontcolor; font-weight:$fontweight;"
	." text-decoration:$textdecoration;' onmouseover=\"window.status='$prevStatus'; return true\""
	." onmouseout=\"window.status=''\" href=\"$PHP_SELF?thisOffset=$prevOffset&lineIndex=$prevOffset\">"
    ."$prevLink</a>&nbsp;";

Would become this?

if ($thisOffset!=0) { $prevOffset = intval($thisOffset-$recordLimit); 
echo "<a style='font-family:$fontfamily; font-size:$fontsize; color:$fontcolor; font-weight:$fontweight;"
	." text-decoration:$textdecoration;' onmouseover=\"window.status='$prevStatus'; return true\""
	." onmouseout=\"window.status=''\" href=\"$PHP_SELF?thisOffset=$_GET['$prevOffset']&lineIndex=$_Get['$prevOffset']\">"
    ."$prevLink</a>&nbsp;";

Or you could use [man]ini_set()[/man].

jara06

no. not possible.

Quote from a comment at php.net/ini_set

For example. setting register_globals at
runtime will be of little use as its job has already
been completed by the time it reaches your script.

:sheepish grin:

Allright then, then use [man]extract()[/man]. It performs roughly the same job as ini_set() - I'm sure it'll work fine for your purposes.

Well, after a few days, I am still confused. I only want to display one record per page, and in my example my sql $result is returning 3 rows.
Here is what I have:

$numofpages = ($totalrows / 1);

for($i = 1; $i <= $numofpages; $i++) {

if($i == $page){
	echo($i." ");
} 
else {
	echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF?&page=$i\">$i</a> ");
}
}

if(($totalrows % $recordLimit) != 0) {
	if($i == $page){
	    	echo($i." ");
	} 
	else {
		echo("<a href=\"$PHP_SELF.php?&page=$i\">$i</a> ");
        }
}

Basically, I am just lost as to this whole register_globals thing. This displays the numbers 1,2,3 at the bottom, but clicking them does not change the display.

Or is the problem further up where I get my $variables out of my $results?
