Smart Pagination

[goaman]

Hi guys,
I've made a basic pagination script.. it's working fine so far, but it shows page numbers like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9..till 1000, it doesn't look good on the page. I really want to make the script little smarter to shows 9 (page) numbers only. Something like this: << 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, [12], 13, 14, 15 >>

TIA 🙂

//current script is little messy.. will clean it in the end.

$ViewPerPage = 20;
$CurrentPageNumber = $_GET['start'];

if ($DBCount > $ViewPerPage){

//pages?
$MaxPageNumbers = ceil(($DBCount) / $ViewPerPage); 

//Loop.........................................................
for ($i = 1; $i-1 < $MaxPageNumbers; $i++) 
{
  $url = $link . (($i * $ViewPerPage)-$ViewPerPage);
  echo $url . '"><b>';


if($i * $ViewPerPage == ($CurrentPageNumber)+$ViewPerPage )
{
echo '<font class="paging">'.$i.'</font>';
}else{
echo $i;
}


  echo '</b></a>';
  echo ' | ';

}


}

So you want to adjust the $start and $end values of the $i loop instead of just
going from 1 to $MaxPageNumbers?

$start = max(1, $CurrentPage-4);
$end   = min($start+9, $MaxPageNumbers);

I may be off by 1 here and there (I usually count from zero), but that's the idea.
