[Resolved] pagination limitation

[bampot]

i have a page which shows previous 1 2 3 4 5 next for my results, yet i need to limit the amount of pages shown, how could i adapt this script to do so

// show page numbers
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
   if(($page) == $i){  

        echo "$i&nbsp;"; 
      } else {  

           echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i&&group_id=$group_id\">$i</a>&nbsp;"; 
    } 
} 

any help would be much appreciated

<?php
if($total_pages>5) {
  if($page>5) {
    if(($total_pages-2)>$page) {
      $top=$page+2;
    } else {
      $top=$total_pages;
    }
    $bottom=$page-2;
  } else {
    $bottom=0;
    $top=5;
  }
} else {
  $bottom=0;
  $top=$total_pages;
}
for($i=$bottom;$i<$top;$i++) {
  if($page==$i) {
    echo("$i&nbsp;");
  } else {
    echo('<a href="'.$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'].'?page='.$i.'&group_id='.$group_id.'">'.$i.'</a>&nbsp;';
  }
}
?>

Might need a little modification. I haven't tested it at all but it gives the general idea.

cheers : )

like you said a wee bit of tinkering, but that really is quite slick compared to some other scripts i was looking at.

many thanks
