Stuck combining Weedpackets pagination code with my HTML/PHP code.

Hi all,

I am trying to implement Weedpackets pagination solution I found here with my code. He is using a mysql_result with straight <td> </td> tags, and I have somewhat more complicated tags with an if statement enclosed in a input tag, making is near impossible for me to get his solution to work for me.

In his example, he used this;

//The usual "Let's push elements onto an array" deal.
    $all_columns[$current_column][]=mysql_result($result,$i,'ShortName'); 

for($i=0; $i<$display_rows-$padding; $i++)
{    echo '<tr>';
    for($j=0; $j<$display_columns; $j++)
    {    echo '<td>',$all_columns[$j][$i],'</td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}

And the part I am stuck on is my equivalent of the <TD> tags are...

<td width="196" align=left style="padding-left:40px" nowrap="nowrap"> 
<input name="Products[1]" id="dy_rating_chk_1" type="checkbox" tabindex="29" value="1" <?php if(isset($_SESSION['products'][1])) { echo ' checked'; } ?>> 
The Great Depression</td>

And my attempt to mix my code with his $display_columns was a feeble disaster.

here...

for($i=0; $i<$display_rows-$padding; $i++)
{    echo '<tr>';
    for($j=0; $j<$display_columns; $j++)
    {    echo '<td width="196" align=left style="padding-left:40px" nowrap="nowrap"><input name="Products['.$i.']" id="dy_rating_chk_'.$i.'" type="checkbox" tabindex="29" value="'.$i.'"';
	if(isset($_SESSION['products'][$i])) { echo ' checked'; }
	echo $all_columns[$j][$i].'</td>';
    }
    echo '</tr>';
}

Which should have gave me 3 colums, 11 items all with names and check boxes.

What I got 3 columns, 6 check boxes in the top 2 row with no names, and 4 names in the bottom 2 rows with no check boxes.

As always, I appreciate the guidance, and help.

Well, I got close with this...

// Handle the last $padding rows specially, by ignoring the last column.
for(/*$i already has the correct value*/; $i<$display_rows; $i++)
{    echo '<tr>';
    for($j=0; $j<$display_columns-1; $j++)
    {    echo '<td width="250 align=left style="padding-left:10px" nowrap="nowrap"><input name="Products['.$i.']" id="dy_rating_chk_'.$i.'" type="checkbox" tabindex="29" value="'.$i.'"';
 if(isset($_SESSION['products'][$i]))
	 {
	  echo ' checked>';
	 } else {
	 echo ' >';
	 }
	 echo $all_columns[$j][$i];
	 echo '</td>';
    }
    // Empty padding cell.
    echo '<td></td>';
    echo '</tr>';
}
echo '</table>';

But if the user comes back to the page to fix an error, none of them are now checked. NOTE, I am using a SELF form, see my post here using NOGDOG's method.

Thanks,
Don
