Paginator component is available with Zend Framework v1.6. This component wasn’t available in v1.5. I appreciate Zend for provide such a nice component for pagination. This component, like other component, is so loosely coupled that you can use it wherever you want without worrying about any other component at all.
If you have already created pages and you want to apply pagination to them, it would not be a big deal.
Pagination is three step process.
1. you will need to create template file. In template file you can specify layout of your pagination. i.e. how your first, previous, next and last etc will be displayed.
2. instantiate your pagination class in the controller and pass data source- data source can be an array, values fetched form the database etc.
3. make some change in your template file, where you are showing your records.
