My apologies if this is the wrong site for this problem, as it is more math-related than programming. I am trying to write a series of 7 page links, in a Google-esque fashion. Essentially, it will be 7 numbers, s to (s + 6), where s is my starting value. I am having trouble calculating my starting value, given a limited amount of information. In advance, I know the maximum value in the series, this is variable, but it is always greater than 7. In my formula-writing attempts, I have been calling this value g, so g > 7. I also know the page number the user has selected. I have been calling this value p So, for example, if g was 8, I would need to generate these series of numbers, where the bolded number is equal to p: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 As long as I can determine the starting value using the information available, everything else falls into place. Can anyone advise on how I would calculate my starting value using the information available? If it is relevant, I will be writing this formula in PHP. Thanks in advance for any input.

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.
