Pass Variable - Paged Stuff

Pass Variable - Paged Stuff

I want to show 4 stories, together with a "next button". On click, it should load the next 4 stories, and after that the next 4, and so on.

I'm simply using:

   $(document).ready(function(){
     $("#nextButtonLink").click(function() {
       $("#p").load("myphpscript.php?thispage=x");
      });
    });


myphpscript.php loads the stories from the database and echos them out.

(Select * from articles ORDER BY date LIMIT $thispage,4);

Now, my problem is, how do I let my php script know which stories are currently being displayed / which page I'm currently on (in this example the "thispage" variable).
