If you list hundred or thousand records from a database on your website, it is unconfortable to show all of these on one page. So I wrote a pagination function in PHP to browse through the pages like browsing through google results with a previous and next link. It is also simple to customize the design. Just change the styles in the numlinkstyle.css stylsheet file.

Example:

Download:

Numlinks V1.0

Usage note:

1. Download numlinks.zip
2. Extract it and upload all files to your webserver (run the numlinksexample.php to see how it works)
3. You have to import the numlinkfuctions.php with require_once(’numlinkfunctions.php’); into your script.
4. Also import the numlinkstyle.css in your HTML header with <link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”numlinkstyle.css”>
5. Insert the function numlinks($pagenum, $maxpage, $pages_visible, $scriptname, $get); with the following parameters into your PHP code:
   $pagenum: Number of the current page
   $maxpage: Number of all pages
   $pages_visible: Maximum number of pages to be displayed (usually a odd number)
   $scriptname: Optional – File to which a number links
   $get: Optional – to deliver custom GET parameters (e.g. foo=bar&email=bla@hotmail.com)
