    This function returns an array of 3 values that makes browsing through your SQL results, or any other list of results, very easy. The navigation bar looks very similar to ones used in most sites [ prev 6 7 8 9 10 next ]. You can limit the amount of rows displayed, the amount of page numbers to display, the previous and next buttons/text. etc.

    Changes
    -------

    01-09-2003: In my example I rather suggest using the COUNT(*) function in the first
    SQL query instead of mysql_num_rows(). This would make it return the 'totalrows'
    value much faster, especially when there are lots of rows to return..

    17-02-2003: Fixed a few bugs when using the next previous links (It would forget the
    mysql limit position, etc.) I've removed an argument (start), and you cannot click
    on the current selected page anymore. So a few less lines of code and arguments
    that makes all the difference. enjoy :)

    22-01-2003: Changed variables used in the example at the end of this document to
    the global $_GET array. I found most users are running php with register_globals
    turned off (php.ini). Thanx Tim Noble for the email :)

    -----
    To Do
    -----

    I've had some requests for making it support MSSQL (MSSQL doesn't support the LIMIT
    clause) But I'm sure there is a way to get around it :) Keep checking this page...

    -----------
    Description
    -----------

    The function returns an array of 3 values as described below:
    VALUE 1 [0]: Returns a string that can be appended to your SQL query so that the
    correct block of rows can be returned. Eg. " LIMIT 10, 20"
    VALUE 2 [1]: Returns an html string that gives the user an indication of which rows
    he's currently browsing. Eg. 11-20
    VALUE 3 [2]: Returns an html navigation bar needed for navigating through the total
    result returned Eg. Page: << 6 7 8 9 10 >>

    ---------
    Arguments
    ---------

    The first 4 arguments are declared/assigned by you while the last 3 are done when
    you start using the navigation bar generated by the function (See 'Usage' below).

    totalrows - The TOTAL amount of rows returned by your executed SQL statement
    numLimit - The amount of page numbers you'd like displayd in your navigation bit
    Eg. '4' would display "Page: 1 2 3 4 Next 4 >>"
    amm - The amount of rows returned per page (for the SQL string to append)
    queryStr - If you'd like extra vars to be passed to that page Eg. "&name=value"

    There are also 3 variables inside the function you can change if you'd like the
    navigation bar to look a little different (larrow,rarrow,wholePiece).

    -----
    Usage
    -----

    See 'Usage' at the end of this document.
