how do i count the entries using paging

[shawnhbk]

I want to display a number of the mysql enteries basically page 1 1-10 page 2 2-20 when someone clicks next and previous it adds or subtracts 10 and when someone clicks last it multiplies the page number i really need help i been tearing my hair out for hours

// This the full code which will generate a paging system
$limit=10; // Limit of result per page

;
$qresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");  // Let's get the query
     
    $nrResults=mysql_num_rows($qresult); // Count the results
     
    if (($nrResults%$limit)<>0) {
        $pmax=floor($nrResults/$limit)+1;  // Divide to total result by the number of query you want
// to display per page($limit) and create a Max page
    } else {
        $pmax=floor($nrResults/$limit);
    }
    $qresult = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users LIMIT ".(($_GET["page"]-1)*$limit).", $limit");
//Need to generate query considering your limit
   while($row = mysql_fetch_array($qresult))
{
// Now once we got the query from MySQL, we need to think what we to do it. You can do anything. This is just an example

  $add++;
$first= $row['first'];
$last= $row['last'];
$votefor= $row['votefor'];
$picture= $row['picture'];

echo "<br/>

<div>
  <table width=\"660\" border=\"0\">
    <tr>
      <td ><span class=\"number\">$add</span></td>
       <td width=\"120\" rowspan=\"2\"><img  src=\"http://www.shawnhbk.com/pres/images/$picture\" height=\"120\"  /></td>
      <td><h2>$first $last</h2></td>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <td width=\"88\" >Vote Up Vote Down</td>
      <td width=\"438\">$votefor </td>
    </tr>
  </table>
</div>
 ";
// Here comes the Real part of this Tutorial!!
         
 }                 echo "<div class='navpage'>"; // Make a simple css
 
// We need to create a Previous page, so we need $pages to be bigger than 1, otherwise at the first page we would get a 0.
//For the previous to show up we need at least to be at the second page.
    if($pages > 1) {$add=10;
$prevp="<a  href='index.php?add=$add&page=".($pages-1)."' title='Previous  Page'>Previous Page</a>"; } else {echo "";}   
echo $prevp;
 
// Here We want create a page from the results we got by dividing the total by the the limit. So let say you got
 //45 results and you want 5 results per page; these simple lines will create you 8 pages.
 
                                $pid=1;
                                while ($pid<=$pmax) {
$paging= "<a href='index.php?page=$pid' title='Page $pid of $pmax'> $pid</a>";
 
//So here, let say we are at the 3rd page and we want the 3 to be blank so the user can know where is he now.
//This will act as Current Page! We need to replace the url by a text
 
$newpaging=str_replace("<a  href='index.php?page=$pages' title='Page $pages of $pmax'>  $pages</a>", "<span>$pages</span>", $paging);
echo $newpaging;
                             
                                $pid++;  // create pages until reach the result
 
         
            } 
//We want to create a next page and a last page, $pages have to be less than $pmax.
    if($pages < $pmax) {
$nextp="<a href='index.php?page=".($pages+1)."' title='Next Page'>Next Page</a>"; } else {echo "";}   
echo $nextp;
echo  "<a href='index.php?page=$pmax' title='Last Page'>Last Page</a>";
echo "</div>";

If you search these forums for pagination you will get quite a few results. This thread might give you some ideas.
