PHP Pagination Error

[vizz]

For following code I am receiving error, Notice: Undefined index: page
Code is running perfectly but there is only one error of notice.

I have marked line as //this is error part for which I am getting error (line number 19 or 20)

<?php
/*Place code to connect to your DB here.*/
include('config.php');  // include your code to connect to DB.

/*First get total number of rows in data table.If you have a WHERE clause in your query, make sure you mirror it here.*/

$total_pages = mysql_fetch_array(mysql_query($query));
$total_pages = $total_pages[num];

else
    $start = 0;                             //if no page var is given, set start to 0

/* Get data. */
$sql = "SELECT column_name FROM $tbl_name LIMIT $start, $limit";
$result = mysql_query($sql);

/* Setup page vars for display. */
if ($page == 0) $page = 1;                  //if no page var is given, default to 1.

$page = $_GET['page']; //this is error part
if($page) 
    $start = ($page - 1) * $limit;          //first item to display on this page
else
    $start = 0;                             //if no page var is given, set start to 0

to

if(isset($_GET['page'])){
    $start = ($_GET['page'] - 1) * $limit; 
}else{ 
    $start = 0;          //first item to display on this page
}

However I would suggest a further test where you check the value of $_GET['page'] to ensure that it's in range. If greater than the no. of pages, change to max. If leass than 0, change to 0. You may find intval() useful if somebody messes with the querystring and enters some text.
