PHP/MySQL Pagination and Meta Tags
Apr 05, 2002 @ 13:19:15

Well, there's a whole bunch of nothing out there on the PHP front this morning - but I did find some other interesting little tidbits for your enjoyment, so here goes....

There is one thing I did find, however, over on DevArticles.com is a new article called Building A Dynamic MySQL Paging Class With PHP. In this case, a "paging class" is one that formats the results of a query in nice, easy-to-read pages with a variable number of results per page (depending on the number of results). I know several people that would benefit from this one - it seems like a lot of people want something simple and clean that will paginate their results for them. As always, they give you all the code and everything else you might need to get it all working...

If there's anything that was more overhyped that meta tags, I'm not sure what it was. These were supposedly the end-all be-all of the online world, allowing search engines to find your site and pop it into the right place for people to find it. Search engines used to rely on them quite a but, but a lot of the newer ones (like Google) use completely different methods. This article from SitePoint tells you everything you need to know about these little HTML nuggets of joy and how to use them on your site effectively. They even offer some hints like "dont use the same word, especially twice in a row - that sets off the spam filers". Enjoy!
