+-----------------+---------+-----------------+-------------------+----------+-----------+--------+--------+------+-------+----------+-------+

But, the problem is that when I do that the X and the Y in "LIMIT X , Y" won't be X=0,Y=5 or X=5,Y=5 or X=10,Y=5 and so on... Also, I need different columns from each table in the result (look at the examples)...

So, my question is: how can I do what I did above in PHP and SQL (MySQL) ?

---

Sorry for my english and, thanks in advance

---

i'm thinking that it could be done with a query, and the php code will only display the info and execute the queries for the pagination

the query might be something like:

SELECT IF(Album_ID IS NULL,s.Song_Name,a.Album_Name) as name,IF(Album_ID IS NULL,s.Date_Released,a.Date_Released) as datereleased
FROM songs s LEFT JOIN albums a ON (s.Album_ID = a.Row_ID)
GROUP BY 1,2
ORDER BY 2 DESC,1
LIMIT 0,5; /* for the first page */

the idea is to use the IF() function, whenever you have a conflict between the two tables (like displaying the song's name or the album's name) and the rest of the columns will have NULL as value, you could use php to change it (columns like "IsAlbum")

the rest is just php excecuting queries, displaying the results, having links to the next page, etc.

Good Luck
