/**
 *  A generic pagination script that automatically generates navigation links as well as next/previous page links, given
 *  the total number of records and the number of records to be shown per page. Useful for breaking large sets of data
 *  into smaller chunks, reducing network traffic and, at the same time, improving readability, aesthetics and usability.
 *
 *  Adheres to pagination best practices (provides large clickable areas, doesn't use underlines, the selected page is
 *  clearly highlighted, page links are spaced out, provides "previous page" and "next page" links, provides "first page"
 *  and "last page" links - as outlined in an article by Faruk Ates from 2007, which can now be found
 *  {@link https://gist.github.com/622561 here}), can generate links both in natural as well as in reverse order, can be
 *  easily, localized, supports different positions for next/previous page buttons, supports page propagation via GET or
 *  via URL rewriting, is SEO-friendly, and the appearance is easily customizable through CSS.
 *
 *  Please note that this is a *generic* pagination script, meaning that it does not display any records and it does not
 *  have any dependencies on database connections or SQL queries, making it very flexible! It is up to the developer to
 *  fetch the actual data and display it based on the information returned by this pagination script. The advantage is
 *  that it can be used to paginate over records coming from any source like arrays or databases.
 *
 *  The code is heavily commented and generates no warnings/errors/notices when PHP's error reporting level is set to
 *  E_ALL.

    /**
     *  The base URL to be used when generating the navigation links.
     *
     *  This is helpful for the case when, for example, the URL where the records are paginated may have parameters that
     *  are needed only once and need to be removed for any subsequent requests generated by pagination.
     *
     *  For example, suppose some records are paginated at <i>http://yourwebsite/mypage/</i>. When a record from the list
     *  is updated, the URL could become something like <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/?action=updated</i>. Based on the
     *  value of <i>action</i> a message would be shown to the user.
     *
     *  Because of the way this script works, the pagination links would become:
     *
     *  -   <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/?action=updated&page=[page number]</i> when {@link method()} is "get" and
     *      {@link variable_name()} is "page";
     *
     *  -   <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/page[page number]/?action=updated</i> when {@link method()} is "url" and
     *      {@link variable_name()} is "page").
     *
     *  Because of this, whenever the user would paginate, the message would be shown to him again and again because
     *  <i>action</i> will be preserved in the URL!
     *
     *  The solution is to set the <i>base_url</i> to <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/</i> and in this way, regardless of
     *  however will the URL be changed, the pagination links will always be in the form of
     *
     *  -   <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/?page=[page number]</i> when {@link method()} is "get" and {@link variable_name()}
     *      is "page";
     *
     *  -   <i>http://youwebsite/mypage/page[page number]/</i> when {@link method()} is "url" and {@link variable_name()} is "page").
     *
     *  Of course, you may still have query strings in the value of the $base_url if you wish so, and these will be
     *  preserved when paginating.
     *
     *  <samp>If you want to preserve the hash in the URL, make sure you load the zebra_pagination.js file!</samp>
