Multiple page listings with a MySQL query

I'm looking for an easy way to select pages (ie. Next Page, Previous Page and/or Page 1, 2, 3, etc.) of a MySQL query that would display multiple rows of results (ie. with a "while" commond). So when you get to row 10, it stops and you can go on to listings 11-20, or whatever. This is displayed after a search of the database. It is also involved a "switch" command, but I don't think that it would matter. I can think of doing it with setting up new fuctions for Next Page and Previous Page with a LIMIT in the SELECT command. Also using a counter string for the different pages until it reaches the string for MYSQL_NUM_ROWS. But this seems like it would take too much programming for something as simple as this. Any suggestions?
