12,731 PointsClicking on categories throws "too many redirects" error
Also, in the URL, the page is set to "0". I don't know how this is happening. The full catalog displays correctly but, clicking on the categories will not work.
Here is the code:
<?php
include("inc/functions.php");
$pageTitle = "Catalog";
$section = null;
$items_per_page = 8;
if (isset($_GET["cat"])){
if ($_GET["cat"]=="books") {
$pageTitle = "Books";
$section = "books";
} else if ($_GET["cat"] == "movies") {
$pageTitle = "Movies";
$section = "movies";
} else if ($_GET["cat"] == "music"){
$pageTitle = "Music";
$section = "music";
}
}
if(isset($_GET["pg"])){
$current_page = filter_input(INPUT_GET, "pg", FILTER_SANITIZE_NUMBER_INT);
}
if(empty($current_page)){
$current_page = 1;
}
$total_items = get_catalog_count($section);
$total_pages = ceil($total_items / $items_per_page);
//limit results in redirect
$limit_results ="";
if(!empty($section)){
$limit_results = "cat=" . $section ."&";
}
//redirect too-large page numbers to the last page
if($current_page > $total_pages){
header("location:catalog.php?"
. $limit_results
."pg="
.$total_pages);
}
//redirect too-small page numbers to the first page
if($current_page < 1){
header("location:catalog.php?"
.$limit_results
."pg=1");
}
//determine the offset (number of items to skip) for the current page
//for example:on page 3 with 8 items per page, the offset would be 16
$offset = ($current_page - 1) * $items_per_page;
echo $offset;
if(empty($section)){
$catalog = full_catalog_array(null, $offset);
} else {
$catalog = category_catalog_array($section, $items_per_page, $offset);
}
include("inc/header.php");?>
<div class="section catalog page">
<div class="wrapper">
<h1><?php if ($section != null){
echo "<a href= 'catalog.php'>Full Catalog</a> > ";
}
echo $pageTitle ?></h1>
<ul class="items">
<?php
foreach($catalog as $item){
echo get_item_html($item);
}
?>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
<?php include("inc/footer.php") ?>

8,246 PointsHi, I think it might be in your code in functions.php, if you could post those we could help out better.
