PHP : Dynamic paging function

Hello Precious Readers,

I know that i havn't post any thing sience 25th of June

and also know that you are awaiting for some post here :)

BTW i have one php function for Paging, its very easy and very dynamic

<?php
# Pass the simple select query and the maximum results you want
# $qryString = "select * from <table-name>";
# $maxRes = 10;
function paging($qryString, $maxRes){
    $TOTAL = ceil((mysql_num_rows(mysql_query($qryString)))/$maxRes);
    $paging = "";
    $args = explode("&",($_SERVER['argv'][0]));
    $fireArgv = "?";
    foreach($args as $key => $val){
        if(!stristr($val,"page=")){
            $fireArgv .= $val;
        }
    }
    if($_GET['page'] > 5){
        $start = ($_GET['page'] - 5);
        if($start > ($TOTAL - $maxRes)){
            $start = (($TOTAL - $maxRes) + 1);
        }
    }
    else{$start = 1;}
    $cnt=0;
    for($i=$start; $i <= $TOTAL && $cnt <= $maxRes; $i++){
        $cnt++;
        if($cnt > $maxRes) break;
        if($_GET['page'] == $i || (empty($_GET['page']) && $i == 1)){
            $paging .= $i." ";
        }
        else{
            $paging .= "<a href='".$fireArgv."&page=".$i."'>".$i."</a>"." ";/**/
        }
    }
    return $paging;
}
?>

You just have to pass simple mySql query like "select * from my table" as a first argument.

and as a second argument, just pass total number you want to display as paging eg "10"

so the function would be paging("select * from myTable", 10);

Make sure that you provide only select query only, not with where, limit, order by, etc etc clause.....

it will work like google paging :), to see its result, start implementing it friends.........

And yes, please don't forget to give comments :)
