Im using a script to fetch results from mysql and then display a certain number per page...

This part is used to display the numbers of pages.. also linking to the pages...

PHP Code:

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "$i&nbsp;"; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</a>&nbsp;"; 
    } 
} 


So it displays 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 etc depending on the number of pages...

Theres also the <<Previous and Next >> links but thats a different part of the script..

The problem is when I have 170 pages of results it displays..

1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7...... all the way upto 170 which expands the screen width and makes it look a mess...

What I want it to look like is like on this forum when you view multiple pages...

So it only displays a few numbers like...

<< 55 56 57 58 59 >>

How would I do this??

Thanks

for($i = $from; $i <= $from+5; $i++)
{
        if(($page) == $i)
        { 
                                echo "$i&nbsp;"; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</a>&nbsp;"; 
        } 
}

all you need to do is to send a right $from variable to your script. and there should be the links like
<a href="yourscript.php?from=<?$from+6?>"> &nbsp>>&nbsp </a>
<a href="yourscript.php?from=<?$from-6?>"> &nbsp<<&nbsp </a>
i think it shoud work...

PHP Code:

for($i = (($page-2)<1?1:($page-2)); $i <= (($page+2)>$total_pages?$total_pages:($page+2)); $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "$i&nbsp;"; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</a>&nbsp;"; 
    } 
} 


I haven't bothered checking that for bugs btw.

Thanks works fine
