Only showing limited amount of data.

Alright, what I have is a database that contains a bunch of items for a videogame I play. It displays the Type, Item Name, and some sale prices that you wouldn't understand. What I want to do is only display things depending on their "type." So I can have a seperate page that displays Weapons, Armor, etc.

Here is the code I'm using, I'm not sure how I need to modify it:

php Code:

Original - php Code

 
<?php 
$db = blah blah
mysql_select_db("yabbse2",$db); 
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pe_items SHOW type",$db); 
echo "<TABLE>"; 
echo "<TR><TD><B>type</B><TD><B>Item<TD><B>Trade Terminal Value</B><TD><B>Our Price</B></TR>";
while($myrow = mysql_fetch_array($result)) 
{ 
echo "<TR><TD>"; 
echo $myrow["type"]; 
echo "<TD>"; 
echo $myrow["name"]; 
echo "<TD>"; 
echo $myrow["TT"];  
echo "<TD>"; 
echo $myrow["sale"]; 
} 
echo "</TABLE>"; 
?>

RE: Only showing limited amount of data.

Nevermind, I figured it out:

php Code:

Original - php Code

 
$t = mysql_query("SELECT type,name,TT,sale FROM pe_items WHERE type='Weapon'");
$x = mysql_numrows($t); 
$output = "<TABLE>"; 
for($i=0;$i<$x;$i++){ 
     $type = mysql_result($t,$i,"type"); 
     $name = mysql_result($t,$i,"name"); 
     $TT = mysql_result($t,$i,"TT"); 
     $sale = mysql_result($t,$i,"sale"); 
     $output .= "<TR><TD>$type</TD><TD>$name</TD><TD>$TT</TD><TD>$sale</TD></TR>"; 
} 
$output .= "</TABLE>"; 
echo $output;

RE: Only showing limited amount of data.

You can also do it this way

Code:

SELECT * FROM sometable LIMIT 5; # Retrieve first 5 rows
SELECT * FROM sometable LIMIT 5,10; # Retrieve rows 6-15
SELECT * FROM sometable LIMIT 95,-1; # Retrieve rows 96-last.
