How do I create a 'next product', 'previous product' in PHP?

How do I create a 'next product', 'previous product' in PHP? I have a search results page that lists a number of products based on certain search criteria entered. Each product has a 'details' link that leads to a product details page for that product.I want to 'remember' the recordset when the user goes to the details page so that I can give the user a 'previous product' and 'next product' button so that they do not have to go back to the search results page each time they want to see another product in the search results. How do I go about this? I'm a bit confused/stuck and could really use some help/inspiration.

Generally this should go with a completed pagination system. It's a little too complex to discuss in a simple post, but you can get some ideas from this search:

pagination site:webmasterworld.com [google.com]

Agh, this site borks up the link. :-/ Enter that in Google.

Thanks for your reply. I'm quite comfortable with pagination and have successfully implemented it on the same site but this is slightly different as there is only 1 product each time. I think I've cracked it though.

This is like normal pagination with the exception that in each page you show only 1 item. So, prev and next buttons/links will show what you want.
