Great pager implementations like this are what make me want to learn PHP. Have a look: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=pear-general&m=111951219715148&w=2 See that link in the post: ".....Pager_Wrapper.php"?

But more to the point, you have to tweak the pager to your taste by playing with a big result set and trying it out. Do have a DB with a couple thousand records to play with? Lee G.
