Need Little help with pagination

I am stuck with pagination. how do i change the url from: hxxp://www.example.com/software/?page=2 to hxxp://www.example.com/software/page2/ or hxxp://www.example.com/software/2/

and I can't access the second page. So I just need little help with this. Someone can change the pagination code/variables from /?page=2 to /page2/ or /2/.

Here's the page control code:

{*
* @param array $pagedata
* @param string $url_base
* @param string $url_add must contain %page% record for replacing with page number
* @param string $url_clear
* @param string $url must contain %page% record for replacing with page number
*}

{if $pagedata}
<br/>
<div align="center">
{if $pagedata.prev}
<a href="{if $url}{$url|replace:"%page%":$pagedata.prev}{else}{url url=$url_base clear=$url_clear add=$url_add|replace:"%page%":$pagedata.prev}{/if}">&lt;&lt; prev</a>&nbsp;
{/if}
{foreach from=$pagedata.pages item="page" key="num"}
{if $page.spacer}...{elseif $pagedata.current==$num}<b>{$num}</b>{else}<a href="{if $url}{$url|replace:"%page%":$num}{else}{url url=$url_base clear=$url_clear add=$url_add|replace:"%page%":$num}{/if}">{$num}</a>{/if}&nbsp;
{/foreach}
{if $pagedata.next}
<a href="{if $url}{$url|replace:"%page%":$pagedata.next}{else}{url url=$url_base clear=$url_clear add=$url_add|replace:"%page%":$pagedata.next}{/if}" >next &gt;&gt;</a>
{/if}
</div>
<br/>
{/if}

Thanks

 

oh, i forgot to add this code, i need to change the /?page=2 to /page2/ or /2/

function make_pages($params) {
$cur_page = $params['cur_page'];
$items = $params['items'];
$visible = $params['visible'] ? $params['visible'] : 5;
$items_per_page = $params['items_per_page'];
if (!$cur_page)
$cur_page = 1;
$pages_num =(int)ceil($items/$items_per_page);
$start = 1;
$end = $pages_num;

$pages = array();

for ($i=$start; $i<=$end; $i++) {
if (($visible>=abs($cur_page-$i)) || ($i==$start) || ($i==$end)) {
$pages[$i] = array('num'=>$i,'first'=>($i==$start),'last'=>($i==$end),'spacer'=>false);
$next = $i+1;
if (($visible<abs($cur_page-$next)) && ($i!=$end) && ($next!=$end))
$pages[$next] = array('num'=>false,'first'=>false,'last'=>false,'spacer'=>true);
}
}

$prev = $cur_page-1>=$start ? $cur_page-1 : false;
$next = $cur_page+1<=$end ? $cur_page+1 : false;
$limit = ($cur_page-1)*$items_per_page.','.$items_per_page;

return array("pages" => $pages, "current" => $cur_page, 'prev'=>$prev, 'next'=>$next, 'limit'=>$limit);
}
