RE: [PHP-DB] how to implement "pages" of results

Correct - LIMIT 30,2 would show 2 records starting with the thirtieth.

:)

Enjoy the long wend [and likely, given the day, your Thanksgiving!]

Woo, I'm outta here soon too.

Oh yeah..   LIMIT 30,2  would show 30 records starting with the second
record.  I knew I was forgetting something.  Sorry for the
misinformation.  Trying to finish some stuff before leaving for the
wend, but wanted to at least give you a nudge before disappearing.

Good luck!
