hi
...and to be able to know the exact number of pages
do
$result = mysql_query("select count(*)");
$nb_pages = $result/$nb_records_per_page;
et voila! add this to marcus's suggestion and you have a full paging script,
if you want some inspiration check out http://phpclasses.upperdesign.com i
believe they have a class that does exactly that;
regards
