Hi Mike, I am intrested for the solution you gave me. But I am confused of the way in implementing "select FOUND_ROWS()". I wrote another very simple codes as the first step for understanding this threat: <?php $konek=mysql_connect("127.0.0.1","root","mypassword"); if ($konek){ for ($i=0;$i<2;$i++){ $sqlku="select SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS id_iklan from lowongan limit 5;"; $sqlkupage="select FOUND_ROWS()"; $mybd=mysql_select_db("headhunter",$konek); $kueri=mysql_query($sqlku,$konek) or die('MYSQL QUERY ERROR ['.mysql_errno($konek).'] '.mysql_error($konek)); $kueri=mysql_query($sqlkupage,$konek) or die('MYSQL QUERY ERROR ['.mysql_errno($konek).'] '.mysql_error($konek)); while($brs=mysql_fetch_row($kueri)){ list($idiklan)=$brs; echo "FirstItem <a href=\"showit.php?id=$idiklan\">$idiklan</a><br>"; } } }else{ echo "I can't talk to the server<br>"; exit(); } ?> I've put nine records into the table of "lowongan", idiklan 1 to 9. Look I get of course only one record, namely the: '9'. This is the output of my codes in my internet browser. === FirstItem 9 FirstItem 9 === The output what I am expecting suppose to be: on the $i=0 " FirstItem 1 FirstItem 2 FirstItem 3 FirstItem 4 FirstItem 5 " and on the $i=1 " FirstItem 6 FirstItem 7 FirstItem 8 FirstItem 9 FirstItem 9 " I read on the documentation of MySQL but I couldn't find any code of sample also in the php.net. Would be so kind to give me a very simple code of sample? Thank you very much in advance.

So than the paging task work with the index of cookie array.
