I have to create pagination for my website that has already been done in php.I m using smarty templates .
Now i have to do pagination using ajax.Links displayed will be like

First | Prev | 1-15 | Next | Last

where first,prev,next,last are the links.
what are the the changes that i have to make in my template and php files.
should my php files returns result in xml format??
