Please explain "Pagination" easily so that I can make my own?

I am wanting to create a forum, but instead of having 875492846 replies on 1 page, i want to be able to seperate them into 10 replies per page.

Eg

1
2
3
4
......

Page 1 - 2 - 3 - 4... Next (all links)

How can I go about doing this?

repeat after me ... GOOGLE IS MY FRIEND :

http://www.google.ro/search?hl=ro&q=...e+Google&meta=

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/43/0.php

http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial_ca...Pagination.php

http://digg.com/programming/PHP_Pagination_Tutorial

i would post every 1.180.000 results from google ... but the page would load to slow

very true words. every time i have a problem i go directly to google. it spellchecks, is a calculator, can convert units, and can find what you need.

glad somenne agrees

I gave an example script on pagination here in the WT Blogs:

I had a look at yours a while ago; to be honest, it's way above my head.

Is it PHP 5? I only know 4.

@ Mgraphic

@feraira
please check the diference between php4 and php5 ... they are not so radicale so if a script is in php5 you will not be able to understand it.

Plus you can always check the manual for the functions you don't recognize

Cheers

Alright, cheers

It should work equally both for ver 4 and 5
