i want to display data from mysql database in table form on the web page .
Ex. - If there are 100 entries in the database
then only 10 entries can be displayed
i should be able to use 'next' and ' previous' buttons to display consecutive data tables containing 10 entries .

Is this homework help? Your asking half a dozen questions without showing any code for us to build on. The first part (displaying the table) is achieved by a simple mysql query with a loop. Then the page numbers are part of whats called pagination. So could you post some code (eg previous attempts) for us to build on because I don't even know the mysql column structure.

m an amatuer programmer .... having problems in understanding the code (got the code on google )
the code is as follows ---
<html>
<body bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000" link="#0000ff" vlink="#800080" alink="#ff0000">
<?
require "config.php"; // All database details will be included here
$page_name="php_paging.php"; // If you use this code with a different page ( or file ) name then change this
$start=$_GET['start']; // To take care global variable if OFF
if(!($start > 0)) { // This variable is set to zero for the first page
$start = 0;
}
$eu = ($start -0);
$limit = 2; // No of records to be shown per page.
$this1 = $eu + $limit;
$back = $eu - $limit;
$next = $eu + $limit;
/////////////// WE have to find out the number of records in our table. We will use this to break the pages///////
$query2=" SELECT * FROM student_adv ";
$result2=mysql_query($query2);

$nume=mysql_num_rows($result2);
/////// The variable nume above will store the total number of records in the table////
/////////// Now let us print the table headers ////////////////

Double post and no code tags. I wonder what the the mods will think of that. But as the the solution - replace your while loop with the following.
while($noticia = mysql_fetch_assoc($result))
{
if($bgcolor=='#f1f1f1'){$bgcolor='#ffffff';}
else{$bgcolor='#f1f1f1';}
echo "<tr >";
echo "<td align=left bgcolor=$bgcolor id='title'> <font face='Verdana' size='2'>".$noticia['id'].'</font></td>';
echo "<td align=left bgcolor=$bgcolor id='title'> <font face='Verdana' size='2'>".$noticia['name'].'</font></td>';
echo "<td align=left bgcolor=$bgcolor id='title'> <font face='Verdana' size='2'>".$noticia['class'].'</font></td>';
echo "<td align=left bgcolor=$bgcolor id='title'> <font face='Verdana' size='2'>".$noticia['mark'].'</font></td>';
echo "</tr>";
