Also, I just noticed that the documentation for the PHP file appears to be incorrect as well. It shows these elements in the generated XML:

records: the total records from the query

total: the total pages in the query

In the sample code on the same page, they show:

$s .= “” . $count . “”;

$s .= “” . $total_pages . “”;

But in this forum post, I was instructed to swap these values like so:

$s .= “” . $totalpages . “n”;

$s .= “” . count ($rows) . “n”;

This worked, in that it caused jqGrid to start loading as needed, but the grid still stops at 400
