Thus, you should go the PHP route and use LIMIT. So, for example, if you have 50 records per page, and you want to show page 15, you would need to calculate, and add to both the header and a new, page navigation footer row, the page you want to use, like this:

define('MYSQL_PAGE_SIZE', 50);

$curpage = $_GET['p'];

if(!isset($curpage) || !preg_match('/[0-9]{1,3}/', $curpage])) {
	$curpage = 1;
}

$minrecord = ($curpage - 1) * MYSQL_PAGE_SIZE;
$maxrecord = $minrecord + MYSQL_PAGE_SIZE;

$sql .= " LIMIT $minrecord, $maxrecord";
