Thanks sooo much! I've sorted out your mistakes, edited it down into one script, and updated it to include 15 results per page. I've posted it below incase another user might find it useful.

PHP Code:

<?php
    require_once("mysql_connect.php");
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT count(*) FROM jokes WHERE cat=$cat");
    $count = mysql_result($result,0,0);
    $number_of_groups = ceil($count/15);
    $starting_group_number = 1;
    for ($i=1;$i<=$number_of_groups;$i++) {
      $second_num = $starting_group_number+14;
      echo("<a href=\"jokes.php?star=$starting_group_number&cat=$cat\">$starting_group_number - $second_num</a>&nbsp; &nbsp;\n");
      $starting_group_number += 15;
    }    
    echo("<br><br>");
    if (!$_GET['start']) {
      $start = 1;
    } else {
      $start = $_GET['start'];
    }
    $begnum = $start - 1;
    $query2 = "SELECT id, title, author FROM jokes WHERE cat=$cat LIMIT $begnum, 15";
    $result2 = mysql_query($query2);
    echo("<table width=\"80%\" border=\"0px\">\n");
    echo("<tr><td width=\"80%\"><b>Title<b></td><td width=\"20%\"><b>Written By</b></td></tr>");
    while ($row = mysql_fetch_array($result2, MYSQL_ASSOC)) {
        $id = $row['id'];
        $title = $row['title'];
        $author = $row['author'];
        echo("<tr><td><a href=\"joke.php?id=$id\">$title</a></td><td><a href=\"user.php?user=$author\">$author</a></td></tr>");
    }
    echo("</table>");
    ?>
