Good dAY
I really need to solve my problem in sorting of my data from my database. Like for example the user has a choice to sort the information in asc or desc order. Honestly i have no idea how can I do that. i tried to research but I can't understand somecodes and when i tried it, it has a bugs.
Here is my code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<title>Untitled Document</title>
<!--<script type="text/JavaScript">
//function confirmDelete(){
//var agree = confirm("Are you sure you want to delete this file?");
//if(agree){
// direct browser to delete.php
// window.location = "./delete.php";
//} else {
// do nothing and return false
//return false ;
//}
//}
//</script>-->
</head>
<body>
<form name="machine1" action="page3.php" method="post">
<table border="1">
<tr>
<td>Emp ID</td>
<td>Last Name</td>
<td>First Name</td>
<td>Birthday</td>
<td>Option</td>
</tr>
<?php
// Connects to your Database
$host = 'localhost';
$user = 'root';
$db = "db_machine1";
mysql_connect("$host", "$user") or die(mysql_error());
mysql_select_db("$db") or die(mysql_error());
if (isset($_GET['pageno'])) {
$pageno = $_GET['pageno'];
} else {
$pageno = 1;
} // if
//$emp_id = $_POST['Emp_ID'];
//$query = "SELECT count(*) FROM table WHERE ...";
$query = "SELECT count(*) FROM tbl_machine1";
$result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$query_data = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $query_data[0];
$rows_per_page = 5;
$lastpage = ceil($numrows/$rows_per_page);
$pageno = (int)$pageno;
if ($pageno > $lastpage) {
$pageno = $lastpage;
} // if
if ($pageno < 1) {
$pageno = 1;
} // if
$limit = 'LIMIT ' .($pageno - 1) * $rows_per_page .',' .$rows_per_page;
$query = "SELECT * FROM tbl_machine1 $limit";
$result = mysql_query($query) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
//... process contents of $result ...
while($info = mysql_fetch_array( $result ))
{
$emp_id = $info['Emp_ID'];
$lname = $info['Last_Name'];
$fname = $info['First_Name'];
