I have created this code but it just keeps giving me an error. I am a noob at PHP and i know very little about debugging.

if(!isset($_GET['page'])){
$page = 1;
} else {
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
switch($_GET['page']){
default:
break;
echo "Go to page: ";
$total_pages = "2";
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){
break;
if(($page) == $i){
echo "$i "; 
case '1':
header('Location: index$i.php');
break;
} else {
echo "<a href=\"index.php?page=$i" title=\"Go to page $i\">$i</a> ";
case '$i':
header('Location: index$i.php');
break;
}
}
}

Thanks

Having some trouble understanding what you are trying to accomplish here. You can't just blatantly throw functions into a switch constructor, it expects cases to define what it is to execute. And sending the user to a new page... accomplishes what exactly?
Sorry, I'm having trouble with the logic of what you're doing, lol, it just makes no sense to me.

Here's a link to some basic pagination scripts, and I'll even PM you a pagination class I've made that should give you even more flexibility.

You say you created that and it's giving you errors? Well, we can't get anywhere without knowing the errors, and neither can you. In fact, that script can't get anywhere. It looks as though you've thrown that code together by copying and pasting random code into a document and hoping it would work.

if(!isset($_GET['page'])){
	$page = 1;
} else {
	$page = $_GET['page'];
}

switch($_GET['page']){
	default:
	break;
	echo "Go to page: ";
	$total_pages = "2";
	for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){
		break;
		if(($page) == $i){
			echo "$i "; 
			case '1':
				header('Location: index$i.php');
			 break;
		} else {
			echo "<a href=\"index.php?page=$i" title=\"Go to page $i\">$i</a> ";
			case '$i':
				header('Location: index$i.php');
			break;
		}
	}
}

I'm not even going to bother begining to explain what is wrong with that code. There is so much i could easily write a new book on it.

Here is where you can go to figure out what you did.

I'm sorry if i sound rude, but it looks as though you didn't even research what you were doing before you started, and that is one of my pet-peeves.
