I am working on a script, simple really, that is pulling up top 10 results of same query from 5 different search engines. removes a duplicates and rates the results base on duplication and placement.
The logical problem that I have is with display of the results on page 2,3...
I am not sure how to list the sites and when you run a second query without cashing original results. can this even be done?

First, you need to count the results.

Then you need to have the results in an array, and for example, do something like:

Code: [Select]

<?php
$results = array(
    0 => 'first',
    1 => 'second',
    2 => 'third',
    3 => 'fourth',
    4 => 'fifth',
    5 => 'sixth',
    6 => 'seventh',
    7 => 'eight',
    8 => 'ninth',
    9 => 'tenth',
    10 => 'eleventh'
);

$per_page = 5;
$result_count = count($results);

$start = 0;

if (isset($_GET['start']) && $_GET['start'] > 0 && $_GET['start'] < $result_count)
    $start = (int) $_GET['start'];

$j = 0;
for ($i = $start; $i < $result_count; $i++)
{
    echo $results[$i], '<br>';
$j++;

    if ($j >= $per_page)
        break;
}

if ($start >= $per_page)
    echo '<br><a href="?start=', $start - $per_page, '">Previous</a>';

if ($result_count > $start + $per_page)
    echo '<br><a href="?start=', $start + $per_page, '">Next</a>';

?>

I have tested the above code and it appears to do what it should.
