Paging in for loop?

[witold]

Hi,

//I use PHP to parse a big xml file.
//In order to display its items (nodes) I use

$item_counter = 0;
for($i = 0; $i < $item_counter;$i++) {
..............
print item values
}

//I have also developped a simple paging to display only
//30 items per page

$numofpages = $item_counter/30;
for($i = 0;$i <= $numofpages;$i++) {
if($page == $i) {
print("<font color=#000000>" . $i ." </font>");
}
else{
print("<A HREF=\"".$PHP_SELF."?page=".$i."\"> ". $i ." </A>");
}
}

//however, I don't know how to change
//for($i = 0; $i < $item_counter;$i++) {
//to display items corresponding to particular page
//e.g. records 1-30 if on page no 1 and records
//31-60 if on page no 2 or 61-90 if page no 3
//is applicable.

can anyone help?

for($i = 0;$i <= $numofpages;$i++) {
   $pagelink = $i+30; // or 60, or 90...
if($page == $pagelink) {
print("<font color=#000000>" . $pagelink ." </font>");
}
else{
print("<A HREF=\"".$PHP_SELF."?page=".$pagelink."\"> ". $pagelink ." </A>");
}
} 

Something like that? Oh, and you do know that <font> tags have been obsolete since lanst century, right?
