   Let's say I did a page:

   http://www.example.org/my-static/

   What I'd like to do is to make a browser of items in it and add pagination support.

   http://www.example.org/my-static/page/2
   http://www.example.org/my-static/page/3
   ... and so on.

   The question: how do I read the page numeber in PHP from inside the template page? If I was using ?page=1 I ould have used $_GET['page'] but how do I do in wordpress?

   Thanks.

   Well I think I found

   global $page;

   inside the plugin :|

   I had to do this once.. the way I ended up doing it was by placing the following PHP code in my theme...

   //grab the URL into a string variable (i.e., "yoursite.com/page/2" )
   $strURL = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
   //array the elements in the string btwn "/" (i.e. [page], [2] )
   $arrVals = split("/",$strURL);
   //boolean var used to alert when the integer page var is next
   $intnextone = 0;
   //integer variable for pagenumber
   $intpagenum = 0;
   // loop through the array
   foreach ($arrVals as $value) {
   	if ($intnextone == 1){$intpagenum=$value;} // assign var
   	if ($value == "page") {$intnextone =1;} //next loop is int
   }

   $intpagenum is your page number variable.

   Hope that helps

   Yeah that's the hard code way. By the way I found the method above that is working because WordPress itself already parse the number from the url, I suppose.
