Aiuto alla paginazione in php

Qualcuno mi può aiutare a completare questo script in php?
come le devo fare le tabelle in phpmyadmin e nei file che mi dice di creare, cosa devo scrivere? qualcuno mi può aiutare a completarlo??
la guida l'ho presa da http://www.phpeasystep.com/phptu/29.html vi dico già che ne capisco poco di php per questo chiedo il vostro aiuto.


STEP1: The Code
Grab the code and paste in your text editor.
You have to customize 7 spots in this code (see images below).

1. Code to connect to your DB - place or include your code to connect to database.
2. $tbl_name - your table name.
3. $adjacents - how many adjacent pages should be shown on each side.
4. $targetpage - is the name of file ex. I saved this file as pagination.php, my $targetpage should be "pagination.php".
5. $limit - how many items to show per page.
6. "SELECT column_name - change to your own column.
7. Replace your own while..loop here - place your code to echo results here.
After all, save and test your script.

<?php
    /*
        Place code to connect to your DB here.
    */
    include('config.php');    // include your code to connect to DB.

    $tbl_name="";        //your table name
    // How many adjacent pages should be shown on each side?
    $adjacents = 3;
    
    /* 
       First get total number of rows in data table. 
       If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.
    */
    $query = "SELECT COUNT(*) as num FROM $tbl_name";
    $total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
    $total_pages = $total_pages[num];
    
    /* Setup vars for query. */
    $targetpage = "filename.php";     //your file name  (the name of this file)
    $limit = 2;                                 //how many items to show per page
    $page = $_GET['page'];
    if($page) 
        $start = ($page - 1) * $limit;             //first item to display on this page
    else
        $start = 0;                                //if no page var is given, set start to 0
    
    /* Get data. */
    $sql = "SELECT column_name FROM $tbl_name LIMIT $start, $limit";
    $result = mysql_query($sql);
    
    /* Setup page vars for display. */
    if ($page == 0) $page = 1;                    //if no page var is given, default to 1.
    $prev = $page - 1;                            //previous page is page - 1
    $next = $page + 1;                            //next page is page + 1
    $lastpage = ceil($total_pages/$limit);        //lastpage is = total pages / items per page, rounded up.
    $lpm1 = $lastpage - 1;                        //last page minus 1
    
    /* 
        Now we apply our rules and draw the pagination object. 
        We're actually saving the code to a variable in case we want to draw it more than once.
    */
    $pagination = "";
    if($lastpage > 1)
    {    
        $pagination .= "<div class=\"pagination\">";
        //previous button
        if ($page > 1) 
            $pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=$prev\">� previous</a>";
        else
            $pagination.= "<span class=\"disabled\">� previous</span>";    
        
        //pages    
        if ($lastpage < 7 + ($adjacents * 2))    //not enough pages to bother breaking it up
        {    
            for ($counter = 1; $counter <= $lastpage; $counter++)
            {
                if ($counter == $page)

            }
        }
        elseif($lastpage > 5 + ($adjacents * 2))    //enough pages to hide some
        {
            //close to beginning; only hide later pages

            //in middle; hide some front and some back
            elseif($lastpage - ($adjacents * 2) > $page && $page > ($adjacents * 2))
            {
                $pagination.= "<a href=\"$targetpage?page=1\">1</a>";

    ?>

STEP2: Apply CSS Style to your code
Save this code to style.css and link to your pagination page.
To get more CSS style click here

div.pagination {
	padding: 3px;
	margin: 3px;
}

div.pagination a {
	padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
	margin: 2px;
	border: 1px solid #AAAADD;
	
	text-decoration: none; /* no underline */
	color: #000099;
}
div.pagination a:hover, div.pagination a:active {
	border: 1px solid #000099;

	color: #000;
}
div.pagination span.current {
	padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
	margin: 2px;
		border: 1px solid #000099;
		
		font-weight: bold;
		background-color: #000099;
		color: #FFF;
	}
	div.pagination span.disabled {
		padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
		margin: 2px;
		border: 1px solid #EEE;
	
		color: #DDD;
	}

Ti consiglio di seguire una guida aggiornata, perché quella guida utilizza funzioni ormai deprecate (le funzioni mysql_*). È inutile perdere tempo per imparare una cosa non aggiornata .

Segui piuttosto una guida che spieghi come interfacciarsi tramite mysqli, ad esempio questa (prima trovata su google, tra l'altro pure in italiano).

Qui la documentazione ufficiale, dove ci sono tantissimi e utilissimi esempi.

EDIT:
Oddio, sfogliando velocemente il tutorial che ti ho passato, ho visto che utilizzano le funzioni mysql_*, come ad esempio mysql_query(), che andrebbe sostituita da mysqli_query().

Ciao!

Potresti linkarmi un sito dove ci sono delle guide su come creare script in php e mysql passo passo???
Grazie :)

Qui (la prima è quella che ti ho linkato).
Per vedere se la guida è aggiornata, devi verificare che le funzioni siano "mysqli", invece di "mysql".

I dati di accesso per il tuo database, li trovi qui.
