    <p>Hi im a complete newbie and this may seem very simple to any experienced user.</p> <p>So what i am trying to achieve is, i have box that is going to hold recent feedback i receive from clients. The box is to display 6 results from a mysql database query. The box also has a more and previous button. When the user clicks more the results must cycle to the next 6 comments, if none exist then nothing happens. If a user clicks the prev button it must go to the prev 6 comments, disabled on first set. I want to be able to do this on the fly using ajax so no page reload must happen.</p> <p>Would i have to use pagination, to accomplish such a small task and set of comments? If so how do i go about setting it up?</p> <p>ATM i am able to display the first 6 results of what i want, but do not know how to continue. Here is the php and html. Any hints for the direction i should be going in are welcome. </p> <pre><code>$link = mysqli_connect('localhost','root','password','database'); if (mysqli_connect_errno()) { echo 'Error: Could not connect to database. Please try again later'; exit;} $db = mysqli_select_db($link, "database"); $query = "SELECT * FROM clients, orders WHERE clients.ID = orders.ID ORDER BY Date DESC LIMIT 0,6"; $result = mysqli_query($link,$query); &lt;div class="sidebar"&gt; &lt;div class="clientwrapper"&gt; &lt;h2&gt;Client Feedback&lt;/h2&gt; &lt;div class="box"&gt; while($row=mysqli_fetch_array($result)){ echo '&lt;p&gt; '.$row["Comments"].' &lt;span class="name"&gt; By '.$row["Organisation"].' &lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;'; &lt;a class="nodecoration" href="" &gt;&lt;span class="next-button"&gt;More&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a class="nodecoration" href="" &gt;&lt;span class="prev-button"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; &lt;div class="clear"&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;/div&gt; </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
