How can I paginate this script to show 5 rows on one page and 5 on another and so on. I have tried tutorials and more for this but still cant get it.

Following is my code : 

<?php require "manybr.htm" ?>
<style>
<?php require "styles.css" ?>
</style>
<?php

$host="XXXXX"; // Host name 
$username="XXXX"; // Mysql username 
$password="XXXXX"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="XXXX"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="tylted"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

// select record from mysql 
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name order by id desc";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
?>

I have added LIMIT 0 , 5 to my query and now 5 show up. How do I do the part with links to page 2?

I don’t know MySqli or PDO yet. I will learn soon so please don’t make that comment. I will move my inline code into CSS soon but not yet. I need to get this working first.

<?php

$host="XXX"; // Host name 
$username="XXX"; // Mysql username 
$password="XXX"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="XXX"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="tylted"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");


// select record from mysql 
 $offset=$_GET['p'];
 $sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name order by id desc LIMIT 4 OFFSET ".$offset;
 $result=mysql_query($sql);
?>

    Use a $_GET variable to get the limit:

    Make the URL something like index.php?p=5 let’s say.

    The PHP can include the $_GET variable like this:

    <?php

$startnum = 0; //set default
if(isset($_GET['p'])&&is_numeric($_GET['p'])){
  $startnum = $_GET['p'];
}
$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name order by id desc LIMIT $startnum, 5";

?>

    Next and previous links can be <a href="?p=<?php echo $startnum+5 ?>">Next</a>

    FULL PHP HERE:

    <style>
<?php require "styles.css" ?>
</style>
<?php

$host="XXXXX"; // Host name 
$username="XXXX"; // Mysql username 
$password="XXXXX"; // Mysql password 
$db_name="XXXX"; // Database name 
$tbl_name="tylted"; // Table name 

// Connect to server and select database.
mysql_connect("$host", "$username", "$password")or die("cannot connect"); 
mysql_select_db("$db_name")or die("cannot select DB");

$startnum = 0; //set default
if(isset($_GET['p'])&&is_numeric($_GET['p'])){
  $startnum = $_GET['p']; //change offset
}

$sql="SELECT * FROM $tbl_name order by id desc LIMIT $startnum, 5";
$result=mysql_query($sql);
?>


See the <a href="?p=<?php echo $startnum+5; ?>">next page</a>
<table background='images/subbg.png' width='70%' align='center'>

<tr>
