Question about page numbering rules of message boards

[programming.name]

Hi,

I am developing a very very simple board which only displays some results from mysql. Currently, the results are being displayed with table tag on a browser as follows:

 

no.| phone        | age

3  | 333-3333  |  30

2  | 222-2222  |  20

1  | 111-1111  |  10

 

All I want to do is that if mysql returns more than 20 results the 21st should appear at the next page. And if it returns more results the page number should be added autometically. I don't need to have an actual code but just a conceptual explanation because I want to have a go.

 

Thanks.

This is called pagination. You can find a very good tutorial explaining how it works here.
