Navigation through Records or Pages Being Fetched

Post by devarishi »

Hi,


I am displaying records from a database / table. The number of records can be very large as the database grows. So, the requirements is such that only 10 or 25 records should be displayed per page.

So, the interface on every page should look like this:

Code: Select all

Navigate: First | Previous | Next | Last
Or

Code: Select all

Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 ...
So, how do we do that?

Please Note: I am using PHP, HTML, and CSS only. No Ajax knowledge do I have!

Thanks!

This has been discussed many a-times. The search term you want to use is "pagination".
