Let's do a bit of coding in PHP with mysql as the DBMS. Here, I will present the simplest of code to make a page which shows a fixed number of records on a page with the next and previous links to access the next or previous records.I think you are confused what I am saying.
Let's take an example.
Suppose there is a database named "profile"(Let's say in MYSQL). It has a table named "tbl_comment" which has two fields cid and ctext. Now there is a php file named comment.php which will show the list of comments from the tbl_comment table. As the number of comments in the table increase, we need a system to show them systematically on the screen so that the end-user has not to scroll much to read the comments. There comes the pagination script handy.
