hi. i wonder if someone could check this script for me and tell why it isn't producing any results. here is the code:
<?php
function ShowMyFiles() {
// vars global configuration
global $dbConn, $theme_path;
// vars messages
global $msg;
// vars template
global $error_msg, $status, $files, $owner, $test, $paginated;
if ($err) {
$error_msg = 'Custom error message';
}
if(!isset($_GET['page'])){
$page = 1;
} else {
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
// get variable after selecting something from the dropdown with name 'chooser'
$select = $_POST['select'];
// if something has been chosen
if (!empty($select)) {
// get the chosen value
$chooser = $_POST['chooser'];
// Define the number of results per page
$max_results = 10;
// Figure out the limit for the query based
// on the current page number.
$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results);
// get file listing
// if everything successful create query
// this selects all rows where the type is the one you chose in the dropdown
// * means that it will select all columns, ie name and type as i said above
$sql = "SELECT title, description, date FROM idx_reslink WHERE category_id='$chooser' LIMIT $from, $max_results";
$result = $dbConn->Execute($sql) or die(mysql_error());
// Figure out the total number of results in DB:
$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM idx_reslink WHERE category_id='$chooser'"),0);
// Figure out the total number of pages. Always round up using ceil()
$lastpage = ceil($total_results / $max_results);
global $paginated;
$paginated .= "<center>Select a Page<br />";
if ($page == 1) {
$paginated .= " FIRST PREV ";
} else {
$paginated .= " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=1'>FIRST</a> ";
$prevpage = $page-1;
$paginated .= " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$prevpage'>PREV</a> ";
}
$paginated .= " ( Page $page of $lastpage ) ";
if ($page == $lastpage) {
$paginated .= " NEXT LAST ";
} else {
$nextpage = $page+1;
$paginated .= " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$nextpage'>NEXT</a> ";
$paginated .= " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?page=$lastpage'>LAST</a> ";
}
$test = '';
for($i = 0;$i < $result->RecordCount(); $i++){
$file = $result->Fields("title");
$description = $result->Fields("description");
$date = $result->Fields("date");
$test .= '<table width="100%%" border="0">
<tr>
<td></td>
</tr>
</table>
<table cellpadding="2" cellspacing="1" border="0" align="center" width="100%" class="tbl_border_mem">
<tr class="tbl_caption_mem">
<td width="12%"><strong>Title</strong></td>
<td width="73%"><strong>Description</strong></td>
<td width="15%"><strong>Date Added</strong></td>
</tr>
<tr class="tbl_caption_mem">
<td valign="top">'.$file.'</td>
<td valign="top">'.$description.'</td>
<td valign="top">'.$date.'</td>
</tr>
</table> <br />';
$result->movenext();
}
}
$files = $test;
DisplayTemplate($theme_path . "cp/data.html", "\$files,\$paginated,\$error_msg");
}

it produces the number of pages, but when user clicks on next, it goes to next page but blank screen. this is part of a dropdown menu and the form is passing select into this script. many thanks.
