Re: Passing parameter in Paging

better yet, have a starting page multiplied by the page length define a constant that gives the page limit then have the receiving page do some math and do a mysql_data_seek() or array_seek() (which ever you are using) and then limit the returns by the page limit size? wouldn't that be the easiest way? if not, please let me know, cuz I am using that for pagination throughout my site via a couple function calls.
