Initial steps for Paging


$num =count($results->products); // number of items in list
$per_page = 10; // Number of items to show per page
$showeachside = 5 ;// Number of items to show either side of selected page

if(empty($start))$start=0; // Current start position

$max_pages = ceil($num / $per_page); // Number of pages
$cur = ceil($start / $per_page)+1; // Current page number
// give the user a nice message about the results
echo" <td width='1' align='left' valign='top'><img src='images/img_vr_line.gif' height='57' /></td>
