Pagination Tutorial?

Does anyone have a php next previous button tutorial they are willing to post?

What is there to make a tutorial about? You limit the amount of data you fetch and keep track of the page you're on (best with a GET parameter). For example, a DB supporting the common LIMIT .. OFFSET SQL extension can be made to fetch just a subset of the rows like this:

$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? intval($_GET['page']) : 1;

$r = query('SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tablename WHERE criteria');
$total = fetch($r, 1);

$r = query('SELECT fields FROM tablename WHERE criteria LIMIT ? OFFSET ?',
    $rowsPerPage, ($page - 1) * $rowsPerPage);

// Output $r

if($page > 1) {
  // Output previous link
}
if($page * $rowsPerPage < $total) {
  // Output next link
}
