Variables passed incorrectly

[Kriekie]

Hi All!

I have the following php code in a form:

$Limit = 1;
$Page = $_REQUEST["Page"];
if(empty($Page)) {$Page = 1; }
	
$Start = $Page / $Limit - 1;
if($Start <= 1) {$Start = 0;}

$list = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM detail LIMIT $Start, $Limit") or die(mysql_error());
$num = mysql_num_rows($list);
$rows = $num / $Limit;
$next = $Page * $Limit;

...

if($Page > 1) {
$p = $Page - 1;

<input type="hidden" name="Page" value="

 echo $p;

">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Previous">

if($next < $rows) {
$f = $Page + 1;

<input type="hidden" name="Page" value="

 echo $f;

">
<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Next">

 }

The "next" button works fine, but the "previous" button acts weird. When pressed the first time, eg on page4, it will go to page 3. When pressed again on page3, it goes back to page 4....? I've added

print $p;

and

 print $Page

- $p outputs the correct page number : 2, but when submitted, $Page outputs "4" instead of "2"

Does any one know why this is?

Thnx!

You have several form elements that have the same name. Are they in the same form? That would be a problem.
You could use multiple forms or client side scripting to solve the problem. It needs to be discernable for the system which button was clicked to submit the form.

Please give feedback on how many forms there are etc.
