How can I page if there is no data? if you don't want to page your data (i.e. when you do it yourself, via LIMIT queries and such) but you want delegate to Pager the burden of creating the links for you, then Pager offers you that facility. Just pass the number of total items, and Pager will build the links. > -The same thing could help to get jumps to certain points > like jumping to certain letters.

Pager will only paginate your data in chunks of the same size. You could use it in your address book like this: $letter = get_addressbook_starting_letter(); $data = get_addresses_starting_with($letter); //now get a Pager instance, and paginate //the results WITHIN the selected $letter. ....
