Php+MySql分页机制两种方案的比较测试：

硬件环境：PIII550,128M,15.2G
软件环境：Win98+Apache+Php4+MySql

方案一：
  1.第一次查询时用Select count(1) from tab where condition 取得满足条件的记录数$rows
  2.通过前页数$page，每页记录数$rpp取回记录集
    select * from tab where condition limit ($page-1)*$rpp,$rpp
  3.显示返回记录集的所有记录。
  4.页面转移时将$rows传递给以后页面。

方案二：
  1.取回满足条件的记录集
    select * from tab where condition
  2.移动指针到($page-1)*$rpp
  3.显示$rpp条记录
