Dynamic thumbnailing with PHP and the GD library
Posted on June 27, 2004 by snipe in PHP/mySQL

Posted on June 27, 2002 by snipe in Featured, PHP/mySQL
With just a few modifications, we can create a piece of code that will not only give you x results per page with page numbers, but it will also allow you to specify how many page numbers should appear on the page at any time, much like Google. (For example, if you have hundreds of [...]
Page Numbering (with x results per page)
Posted on June 27, 2002 by snipe in PHP/mySQL
Although there are several examples of this type of code to be found online, I had never found one that easily did what I needed and was flexible enough that we only had to change a few things to use it again – so I wrote my own. It links each page number (except for [...]
