How to use this Google style pagination function?

[AdRock]

I have found a nice function that displays pagination links like Google but have no idea how to use it with the MySQL query

I know how to connect to the database and create the query and display the query but how do i use the query with the function?  Do i need to use CEIL to get the number of pages?

Any help would be appreciated  ;D

I got the function from [url=http://cms.227net.com/php/google_like_pagination]http://cms.227net.com/php/google_like_pagination[/url]

[code]<?php
// quickLink
# writes out page links
function quickLink ($linkHref, $desc, $accessKey, $linkTitle) {
  $theLink = '<a href="'. $linkHref .'#pagination" title="'. $desc .'" accesskey="'.
                  $accessKey .'">'. $linkTitle .'</a>';
  return $theLink;

}
// google_like_pagination.php
function pagination($number, $show, $showing, $firstlink, $baselink, $seperator) {
    $disp = floor($show / 2);
    if ( $showing <= $disp) :

        if ( ($disp - $showing) > 0 ):
        $low  = ($disp - $showing);
        else:
        $low = 1;
        endif;
        $high = ($low + $show) - 1;

    elseif ( ($showing + $disp) > $number) :

        $high = $number;
        $low = ($number - $show) + 1;

    else:

        $low  = ($showing - $disp);
        $high = ($showing + $disp);

    endif;
   
    // next / prev / first / last
    if ( ($showing - 1) > 0 ) :
        if ( ($showing - 1) == 1 ):
        $prev  = quickLink ($firstlink, 'Previous', '', 'Previous');
        else:
        $prev  = quickLink ($baselink . $seperator . ($showing - 1),
        'Previous', 'z', 'Previous');
        endif;
    else:
        $prev  = 'Previous';
    endif;

    $next  = ($showing + 1) <= $number ?
    quickLink ($baselink . $seperator . ($showing + 1),
    'Next', 'x', 'Next') : 'Next';   

    if ( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == $firstlink ):
    $first = '<span class="sel">First Page</span>';   
    else:

    // loop through the numbers

    foreach (range($low, $high) as $newnumber):

          $link = ( $newnumber == 1 ) ? $firstlink :
                $baselink . $seperator . $newnumber;
          if ($newnumber > $number):
        $navi .= '';
        elseif ($newnumber == 0):
        $navi .= '';
        else:
        $navi .= ( $newnumber == $showing ) ?

    endforeach;
