Pages navigation - small function do everything

[us-22]

hi all

few days ago, i had google for new pages navigation code, i find some code can do big work but have big size.

so i trying to write my owner pages navigation below with small function can do great things

this code you put in the page:

$page = (int)(!isset($_GET['page']) ? 1 : $_GET['page']);
$page = ($page == 0 ? 1 : $page);

$sqltotal = "SELECT column FROM table ";

$total = @mysql_num_rows(@mysql_query($sqltotal));
$pagesnum = @ceil($total / $perpage);
$page = ($page > $pagesnum ? 1 : $page);

$startpoint = ($page * $perpage) - $perpage ;
$navpage = str_replace('?page='.$_GET['page'],'',$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);

and this is my function

navigationbar((int) # of next page, (int) # of previos pages, (str) pagelink, (int) # of all pages, (int) # of current page, (str) the $_GET VAR) 

it's should be some things like this

$nav = navigationbar($nxtpages, $prevpages, $navpage, $pagesnum, $page, '?page=')

function navigationbar($nxtpages, $prevpages , $navurl, $pagesnum, $page, $getvar){

$prev = $page - 1;


if($prev != 0){
   $nav .= '<li><a href="'.$navurl.$getvar.$prev.'">Prev</a></li>';
}

for($i=$prevpages; $i <= $page ; $i++){
   if($i !=$page && $i > 0){
      $nav .='<li><a href="'.$navurl.$getvar.$i.'">'.$i.'</a></li>';
   }
}

$nav .='<li class="cupage">'.$page.'</li>';

for($i=$page; $i <= $nxtpages; $i++){
   if($i != $page && $i <= $pagesnum){
      $nav .= '<li><a href="'.$navurl.$getvar.$i.'">'.$i.'</a></li>';
   }
}

if($pagesnum > 1 && $page != $pagesnum){
   $nav .= '<li><a href="'.$navurl.$getvar.ceil($page+1).'">Next</a></li>';
}

return $nav;

What is your opinions

note: sorry , but my English is weak

thanks all

Although a list probably is the most common way to print urls it might be handy to separate the output from the making of the urls.

function navigation()
{
   //urls into an $array
   return $array;
}

Now you can use the array in the way you see fit.
