Other possibilities? Why not just utilize the second argument of the LIMIT function
with a fairly simple SQL query?
Here's a portion of a script I wrote, modified to be an example on this matter:
<?php
$articles_display_limit = 5; // set the number of articles to be displayed on each
page
/*
$article_number sets the position in the database from which the current query results
will begin from. $article_number is passed to the script as a GET method variable (i.e
article.php?record_number=5)
*/
$articles = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM articles
LIMIT $article_number,$articles_display_limit");
$next = $article_number + $articles_display_limit; // next page's starting point
$prev = $article_number - $articles_display_limit ; // previous page's starting
point
$total_number_of_articles = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("SELECT NULL FROM
articles"));
/* display this page's articles*/
/* determine if a 'Previous' button is required */
if ($prev >= 0) {
echo '<a href="article.php?article_number=' . $prev . '">Previous</a>' . "\n";
}
/* determine if a 'Next' button is required */
if ($next < $total_number_of_articles) {
echo '<a href="article.php?article_number=' . $next . '">Next</a>' . "\n";
}
?>
This should do the trick if I haven't modified too much.
There's a good but a bit messy article about it in PHPBuilder:
http://phpbuilder.com/columns/rod20000221.php3
The script is much more experienced and advanced than my own.
