PHP Order by in paginated table from database - php

Question

I got it to order by but now the paginaging doesn't work. NOTHING prints into my error_logs now.
User Red Acid helpedme out with the the missing Whitespace and use a string variable instead of PHP_SELF.
Once I press next record I get:
Not Found
The requested URL /surf/$index.php was not found on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to
use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
My code:
<?php
$dbHost = "localhost";
$dbUser = "";
$dbPass = "";
$dbName = "";
$tbl_name="";
$rec_limit = 20;
$order = "ORDER BY";
$scriptname = 'index.php';
mysql_connect("$dbHost", "$dbUser", "$dbPass")or die("cannot connect");
mysql_select_db("$dbName")or die("cannot select DB");
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name $order ".$_GET["orderby"]." ".$_GET["desc"];
$result=mysql_query($sql);
$sql = "SELECT count(steamid) FROM $tbl_name";
$result= mysql_query($sql);
if(! $result)
{
die('Could not get data: ' . mysql_error());
}
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result, MYSQL_NUM );
$rec_count = $row[0];
if( isset($_GET{'page'} ) )
{
$page = $_GET{'page'} + 1;
$offset = $rec_limit * $page ;
}
else
{
$page = 0;
$offset = 0;
}
$left_rec = $rec_count - ($page * $rec_limit);
$sql = "SELECT * ".
"FROM $tbl_name ".
"$order points DESC ".
"LIMIT $offset, $rec_limit";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
while($rows=mysql_fetch_array($result)){
?>
<tr>
<td><?php echo $rows['name']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows['points']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows['winratio']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows['pointsratio']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows['finishedmaps']; ?></td>
<td><?php echo $rows['lastseen']; ?></td>
</tr>
</tr>
<?php
}
if( $page > 0 )
{
$last = $page - 2;
echo "Last 10 Records |";
echo "Next 10 Records";
}
else if( $page == 0 )
{
echo "Next 10 Records";
}
else if( $left_rec < $rec_limit )
{
$last = $page - 2;
echo "Last 10 Records";
}
mysql_close();

Answer 1

problem that you dont have white space between ORDER BY and DESC:
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY ".$_GET["orderby"].$_GET["desc"];
should be:
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name ORDER BY ".$_GET["orderby"]." ".$_GET["desc"];
use string variable instead of PHP_SELF:
$scriptname = 'myscript.php'; // OR http://domain.com/myscript.php
echo "Last 10 Records";
