Creating results navagation 12345NEXT>>

Anon

Any one have a good approach or artical that I could read about creating an index for displaying results and navagation like you see on google

Example

I would display 10 records at a time, and if there are more than 10 records you would see a navagation bar at the bottom like so

<<PREV 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 NEXT>>

Thanks

What is the name of the artical?

This is one way to do it (It creates something like [1-10][11-20][21-30]), but you can modify it if you want.

function makeLinks($cur, $inc, $total, $q){

// This function is recursive.
// $cur - The current number of the item you're on.
// $inc - The number that the counted links will be incremented
// $total - The total number that will be created
// $q - This script was used in conjunction with a search engine, and $q is the search query. You can replace this with whatever you wanted to link to.

if($cur + $inc < $total){
	print("[<a href=\"search.php?action=search&cur=" . $cur . "&q=" . $q . "\">" . $cur . "-" . ($cur + $inc - 1) . "</a>] ");
	makeLinks($cur + $inc, $inc, $total, $q);
}
else{
	print("[<a href=\"search.php?action=search&cur=" . $cur . "&q=" . $q . "\">" . $cur . "-" . ($total-1) . "</a>] ");
}

}

click on the articles tag, and find "prev"
not hard
or for the technically challenged, just go to
http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/rod20000221.php3

there are one or two minor bugs in the code, but you should be able to find them once you understand the code flow
