3,508 PointsPHP Custom Pagination
First, I'm already thankful for what I learned. Thanks Treehouse and thanks Randy Hoyt <3
Second, I want to implement some sort of pagination where the user would be able to view more shirts, considered that I have a table in database holding all the information about the shirt.
Here is a screenshot to show you exactly here
Third, any good articles on how to attach Facebook's social plugin to comment and like shirts?
Thanks a lot. Appreciated :)

Treehouse TeacherHey Seif Sayed,
I rehosted your image on imgur.com and embedded it here for easier viewing.
Pagination is actually surprisingly complex. It's typical for a developer to use something that's already written to implement this particular feature. Randy Hoyt, our PHP teacher at Treehouse, may have some good suggestions for you.

Treehouse Guest TeacherLater in the current project, we'll be displaying 8 shirts per page and then adding links to page 2, page 3, and page 4. Those videos should be out in a month or so. But it sounds like you are wanting something a little different than that. I think the feature you want is called "infinite scrolling." There is a jQuery plugin to do that, but you need a server-side data source to go along with it. I plan to cover how to write an AJAX web service in PHP in a future tutorial, and I might consider covering something like this.
