Using the MOD (%) operator works great for paging and such. It gives you the remainder of a division statement:
If ($itemcount % 10 == 0) echo "Itemcount divisible by 10, starting new page." Or us the floor() function to determine what the integer is without the fractional remainder: $pagenum = floor($itemcount/10) + 1; Don't forget that if you're using a database that supports the LIMIT command in SQL, the it works great for paging output!
