[PHP-DB] Re: efficient next/prev page generation
SELECT COUNT(*) FROM table (only on initial page). Then pass that count from page to page. Then only one query will be necessary for subsequent page requests. The count will not always be accurate if records are added during the users visit. But it's a quicker solution.
