if(isset($_GET['page']))
{
 $pageNum = $_GET['page'];
}
// counting the offset ( where to start fetching the entries )
$offset = ($pageNum - 1) * $rowsPerPage;

Dear chrishirst,

Now Im facing th problem of individual Comments block. U can see the same in my URL...
http://worldzyourz.info/viewguestbook.php

Plz help me.

Ignatius

looks fine in FF

IE gets it wrong because it is in "quirks" mode, apply a valid doctype before you do ANYTHING else otherwise you are simply p!$$ing into the wind (to coin a phrase )

BTW having a conditional comment of (if NOT IE) is a little pointless

the negation operator "!" should be used for targeting specific versions of IE

Dear chrishirst,

Maybe the .JS & .CSS link got nothing to do in my page. so,The above suggestion got not worth,except the below words of yours (it means a lot & gave a chance to resolve my problem.)

"you are simply p!$$ing into the wind (to coin a phrase )"

Really I was pi$$ing in wind only.

Thanx alot,
Ignatius

Maybe the .JS & .CSS link got nothing to do in my page. so,The above suggestion got not worth

??? Sorry don't understand what you mean.

A full, valid DTD is essential to make Internet Explorer behave correctly with CSS layouts.
Nothing to do with javascript or stylesheet links.

Dear chrishirst,

I mean to say tht words u wrote.. Its all abt formating my comments area. I have put the comments area in a wrong pattern or may in wrong manner. My previous quoted words really gave new view of thinking. Now u can see the URL http://worldzyourz.info/test1.php

Im always thankful to u ppl. What ever u write it make a meaning for my designing. As Im not a web designer. Im a telecom engineer. If I said anything wrong. Feel sorry for that. Will come to you if I got any problem with my next level of execution. Don't miss understand.

Thanx,

Ignatius

Get rid of that junk in the meta keywords element as soon as possible. While SEs ignore the meta KW element for anything useful, stuffing that much junk in it NOT going to do you any favours.

Dear chrishirst,

Thanx for your suggestion. I got no Idea abt Search Engine Optimization. As of now I tried to add my URL in google. They too not accepted my web page. Im totally puzzled with it. I will remove those keywords immdtly.

Thanx,
Ignatius

the PHP interpreter is set to use short_tags "<?" and is trying to run the line as PHP.

it's a very old problem and the equally old fix is to echo the xml declaration into the document.

echo("<?xml version =\"1.0\"?>")
