Call me paranoid, but I smell an anti-Microsoft technologies scheme here.
[Edit]
Now I've read the article, my (out-of-place)paranoia has been put to rest.

With the passage of time came more sophistication in technologies used in each era. The innovations of the succeeding generations will always be built on the "innovations" of their predecessors; this cycle continues on and on, and on... until the end of time.

Programmers of this era are very innovative too with what we have and where we find ourselves. We don't have to go back in time and re-invent the wheels to prove that. After all, the innovations of our predecessors was meant to be for our benefit so that we can go on and be innovative on our own based on their own innovations!

I hope you get my drift @OP.

Sad, I come from the same country as people known for this sort of scam. So not proud to call such my country men right now.
However, just because certain Nigerians are known for this sort of stuff, doesn't necessarily mean that mail originated from a Nigerian!

I think the link you pointed us to explains it all well. But if I understand your question thoroughly, then I'd suggest you do this in your script.php:

replace

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM posts WHERE type= 'image'");

in script.php with

/Include the PS_Pagination class
include('ps_pagination.php');

//Connect to mysql db
$conn = mysql_connect('localhost', 'username', 'password');
mysql_select_db('testdb',$conn);

//Query to pass to pagination class
$sql = "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE type= 'image'";

//Create a PS_Pagination object where 8 is the number of rows to be displayed per page
//and 3 is the number of navigation links per page
$pager = new PS_Pagination($conn, $sql, 8, 3);

//The paginate() function returns a mysql result set for the current page
$rs = $pager->paginate();

//Loop through the result set just as you would loop
//through your normal mysql result set
while($row = mysql_fetch_assoc($rs)) {
	echo $row['id'];
...
//then all your alerting logic here...
}

This way you will be alerting only 8 id's per page. Does that solve your problem?

I strongly urge you to read this. Some helpful insights on this were exposed there.

Cheers
