Don't use SQL_CALC_FOUND ROWS on simple queries, when you have to run a simple query on one or two (with join) tables with a simple WHERE. Especialy if tables are big. I found out that single SELECT COUNT(id) FROM table is far more faster when query has simple WHERE conditions. I use SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS only with a rather complex queries - that SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS doesn't affect query execution at all (well, it affects ofcourse, but affect is so small, you can't see it).

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.
