When searching through large amounts of data, it is often the case that a
|
||
|
|
result set is returned that is larger than we want to display on one page. This
|
||
|
|
results in wanting to page through various pages of data. The maths behind this
|
||
|
|
is unfortunately fiddly, hence this module.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main concept is that you pass in the number of total entries, the number of
|
||
|
|
entries per page, and the current page number. You can then call methods to
|
||
|
|
find out how many pages of information there are, and what number the first and
|
||
|
|
last entries on the current page really are.
