yeah there is no reason to be using cookies for this. just using query string parameters should work. for pagination you need to know: total number of items number of items per page after that you know how many pages (numitems / itemsperpage) and work out the links appropriately (i.e. page1 has no previous, $maxpage has no next) and you can put the number of pages down how you want (if you want to do prev 3 4 5 next, or next 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 prev, there's a ton of strategies to print out what pages to show, and next, previous, jump to end, jump to beginning, etc) i've never used the PEAR class or anything else, i made a function a long time ago that actually works in conjunction with mysql's SELECT FOUND_ROWS() and uses a LIMIT offset,number to save the overhead of fetching every row from the database to only show the ones for that page. it's actually worked well for 4 years now without a single change... at some point perhaps i'll clean it up and post it somewhere, and someone might be able to make it even better. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
