Re: Questions on Pager

Hi Bertrand, actually Pager let you do pretty much everything you need... There's plenty of methods to retrieve every bit of information. Just have a look at the manual, I hope I have covered everything, if something is not clear, please let me know: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.pager.php About URL forging: if your current page url has other query string variables (different from the ones used by pager, I mean), then they're passed along to other pages, just try and you'll see. If you want to build your links yourself, that's fine. It's more work for you, but you can do it. Some useful methods can help you with that: Pager::getNextPageID(); Pager::getOffsetByPageId() Pager::getPreviousPageID() Pager::numItems() Pager::numPages() Pager::getPageData() Uh, you also may find useful the following class var: $pager->range; There's a note about it in the Intro: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/package.html.pager.intro.php, look at the bottom of Example 1. If you need other explanations, please send a mail. I'll be back in half an hour.
