page limiting

[anthill]

Hi, I have the pages working fine although I want to be able to limit the numbers that are displayed, lets say there are 19 pages:

1 2 3 to 19

I just want to display:

1 2 3 4 5

then when you click 2:

2 3 4 5 6

and so on. Kinda like the phpbuilder forum. Anyway i've been trying to figure this out for ages with for loops all over the place but i'm getting results like:

1 2 3 4 5 2 3 4 5 6 3 4 5 6 7 4 5 6 7 8

which i guess isn't far off, but its displaying each set, i obviously only want the 1 2 3 4 5.

The for loop that i'm using to get the page numbers is:

                    $count = 1;
                    $new = 0;
                    $groups = ($numrows/16) + 1;

                    for($count=1; $count<$groups; $count++ . $new+=16)
                    { 

                       if($new == $group)
                       {
                       echo " <a href='page.php?group=".$new."'>[".$count."]</a>";
                       }
                       else
                       {
                       echo " <a href=page.php?group=".$new."''>".$count."</a>";
                       }

                    }

$new and $group are the limit set in the SQL query.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance.

$links2show = 5;
$curpage  = 2;

$group = ($numrows/16) + 1;
$maxlinks = min($links2show, $group);

for($count = ($curpage + 1); $count<$maxlinks; $count++)
{ 
  echo " <a href='page.php?group=$new'>[$count]</a>";
  $group += 16;
}

I'm not entirely sure how you are managing the limits and groups but this should work in with what you need.
