<?PHP 
/*
    ----------- 
    Description 
    ----------- 
 
    The function returns an array of 3 values as described below: 
    VALUE 1 [0]: Returns a string that can be appended to your SQL query so that the 
             correct block of rows can be returned. Eg. " LIMIT 10, 20" 
    VALUE 2 [1]: Returns an html string that gives the user an indication of which rows 
             he's currently browsing. Eg. 11-20 
    VALUE 3 [2]: Returns an html navigation bar needed for navigating through the total 
             result returned Eg. Page: << 6 7 8 9 10 >> 
 
    --------- 
    Arguments 
    --------- 
 
    The first 4 arguments are declared/assigned by you while the last 3 are done when 
    you start using the navigation bar generated by the function (See 'Usage' below). 
 
    totalrows - The TOTAL amount of rows returned by your executed SQL statement 
    numLimit  - The amount of page numbers you'd like displayd in your navigation bit 
            Eg. '4' would display "Page: 1 2 3 4 Next 4 >>" 
    amm      - The amount of rows returned per page (for the SQL string to append) 
    queryStr  - If you'd like extra vars to be passed to that page Eg. "&name=value" 
 
    There are also 3 variables inside the function you can change if you'd like the 
    navigation bar to look a little different (larrow,rarrow,wholePiece).
