Novice Question: I would like to create a set of pages that could use some
kind of logic to have "previous - next buttons "so that when the button was
clicked it would automatically go to the next page - or the previous page.
I know very little about PHP ... however, I am hoping that there is some
kind of preset " open source" php code that I might be able to use.
I can envision something like this:
- An 'include page' that might store an array of the list of pages such as:
start array...
pos1 = page1.htm
pos2 = page17.htm
pos3 = page5.htm
etc.....
stop array...
- then a variable could be set for the current page such as:
thispage = 2 - Place on the array equals position 2 (page17.htm)
then the next button would add 1 to the current place on the array- (pos3)
- and the previous button would be minus 1 place on the array - (pos1)
... that type of thing
Q: Is there any "open source" code template that I can check out like this?

Why don't you google for 'php pagination' ??
http://www.google.com/search?&q=php%20pagination
only 1.2 millions results to look through.
I'm sure that you can add words to that search phrase to narrow the search
also, try searching the archives, I just wrote a posted a link to a nice example on how to do
pagination.
here is the link to the source.
for highlighting purpose only.

source is available here.

It mainly deals with pagination based off information retrieved from a DB.
But, it could be adopted to work with arrays also.
