Background

While working on a website project with multiple pages of information, I found myself unsatisfied with the pagination scripts available on the internet. I decided to write my own from scratch, and becmae quite obsessive about it's appearance and functionality. The result is PHPagination, which you can learn about and download here.

Description

To use PHPagination, you simply call the PHPagination function and pass four arguments; the zero-based current page, the zero-based ending page, a string you'd like to appear before the pagination result, and a string you'd like to appear after each pagination result. PHPagination does the rest, and returns a nicely formatted line of HTML pagination.

PHPagination was designed to satisfy the following requirements:

• Text-only
  The result is pure text; no images to download.
  
  
• User-friendly
  The results generated by PHPagination is extremely people friendly. By being both elegant and minimalist, it achieves instantly understandable results for your end users.
  
  
• Server-side
  PHPagination is generated entirely on the server, avoiding any potential problems related to the presence, absence, or improper versions of client-side technologies.
  
  
• Rule of threes
  Users are always able to jump back three pages, forward three pages, to the first three pages and to the last three pages whenever any of these pages are available.
