Hello fellow php coders
This is a pagination script and tutorial created custom for educational
purposes. Spread it around to people asking about how to page out database result sets. We are using PHP, MySQL,
CSS, and HTML. Very simple and jQuery Ajax could be applied to make the
page changing not require refreshing of the page.
This script is accompanied by this in depth VIDEO TUTORIAL:

Below is the PHP, MySQL, HTML, and CSS code that renders the output above.
You have to put your mysql connection data, and alter the SQL queries(both queries).
