Wow... nice one ppl i didn`t think of that, but... maybe he is trying to say that in one shop to display the items in pages ...
like he said, a shop with 100 items having more pages so the frame won`t need to scrool down so much (25 items per page from the same shop)
I`m not so good at this but you could try something like this:
$pages=(int) ($items/25)+1;
if($items % 25 == 0)
{
$pages--;
}
for($i=1;$i <= $pages;$i++)
{
$stl=($i-1)*35;
print "<font color=green>Page: </font><font color=green>$i</font>
";
}
print "
";
$q=$db->query("SELECT .... ORDER BY $by $ord LIMIT $st,25");
$no1=$st+1;
$no2=$st+25;
...
