Pagination Script and Tutorial for PHP MySQL Programmers

Paging Results

Hello fellow php coders

This is a pagination script and tutorial created custom for educational purposes.
Spread it around to people asking about how to page out database result sets. We are using PHP, MySQL,
CSS, and HTML. Very simple and jQuery Ajax could be applied to make the page changing not require
refreshing of the page.
