a sample from my db class, i had to store the total in a session as calling
the total on every page on a large database was painful doing count(*) or
even SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS, on a small database u just cant tell but on a
database of 100k + it was painful to load each page ;)

function page_query($per_page, $query, $page, $session_var, $debug = null,
$start_session = null) {
                if ($start_session) session_start();
                if(!$page) {
            $this->page = 1;
                        $this->start = 0;
        } else {
                        $this->page = $page;
                        $this->start = ($this->page - 1) * $per_page;
                }

                if ((!$page && !$_SESSION[''.$session_var.'']) || (!
$_SESSION[''.$session_var.''])) {
                        $query = preg_replace("/SELECT|select/","\\0
SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS",$query);
                        $query = "$query LIMIT $this->start, $per_page";
                        $result = $this->query($query);
                        if ($debug) $this->debug();
                        $row = $this->getOne("SELECT FOUND_ROWS() as
total_rows");
                        $_SESSION[''.$session_var.''] = $row['total_rows'];
                        $this->total = $_SESSION[''.$session_var.''];
                } else {
                        $query = "$query LIMIT $this->start, $per_page";
                        $result = $this->query($query);
                        if ($debug) $this->debug();
                        $this->total = $_SESSION[''.$session_var.''];
                }
                $this->pages = ceil($this->total / $per_page);
                return $result;
    }
