Google Like Pagination

[unemployment]

I want to make some google like pagination.

 

Prevous 1 ... 4 5 6 7 8 ... 124 Next

 

Can anyone tell me how to going about doing pagination like this?  I'm not sure where I should start.

$count="SELECT COUNT(*) FROM yourtable ORDER BY id DESC";
$sql="SELECT * FROM `yourtable` ORDER BY id DESC";

// Perform a query getting back a MySQLResult object
$res = $db->query($count);
$result = $db->query($sql);

//get the number of rows in datatbase
$getresult = $result->size();

$numrows = $res->fetchrow();

if(isset($_GET['pagenum'])) {
$page = $_GET['pagenum'];
}
else {
$page = 1;
}

$entries_per_page = 1;   

$total_pages = ceil($numrows[0]/$entries_per_page); 
$offset = (($page * $entries_per_page) - $entries_per_page); 

 

and to call the function to display the links

pagination($$total_pages,$page);

This is the function to create the paging

 

function pagination($total_pages,$page){ 

    // Global variable passed between the pages
    global $webpage; 

    // Maximum number of links per page.  If exceeded, google style pagination is generated
    $max_links = 6; 
    $h=1; 
    if($page>$max_links){ 
        $h=(($h+$page)-$max_links); 
    } 
    if($page>=1){ 
        $max_links = $max_links+($page-1); 
    } 
    if($max_links>$total_pages){ 
        $max_links=$total_pages+1; 
    } 
    echo '<div class="page_numbers"> 
      <ul>'; 
    if($page>"1"){ 
        echo '<li class="current"><a href="/'.$webpage.'/1">First</a></li> 
              <li class="current"><a href="/'.$webpage.'/'.($page-1).'">Prev</a></li> '; 
    } 
     
    if($total_pages!=1){ 
        for ($i=$h;$i<$max_links;$i++){ 
            if($i==$page){ 
                echo '<li><a class="current">'.$i.'</a></li>'; 
            } 
            else{ 
                echo '<li><a href="/'.$webpage.'/'.$i.'">'.$i.'</a> </li>'; 
            } 
        } 
    } 
     
    if(($page >="1")&&($page!=$total_pages)){ 
        echo '<li class="current"><a href="/'.$webpage.'/'.($page+1).'">Next</a></li> 
              <li class="current"><a href="/'.$webpage.'/'.$total_pages.'">Last</a></li>'; 
    } 
     
    echo '</ul> </div>'; 
}

 

the css

 

.page_numbers {
width:100%;
background:#fff9f0;
overflow:hidden;
position:relative;
padding:50px 0;
}
.page_numbers ul {
clear:left;
float:left;
list-style:none;
margin:0;
padding:0;
position:relative;
left:50%;
text-align:center;
}
.page_numbers ul li {
display:block;
float:left;
list-style:none;
margin:1px;
padding:0;
position:relative;
right:50%;
background: #a8a189; 
width:25px; 

}
.page_numbers ul li a {
display:block;
background: #fff; 
border: 1px solid #a8a189; 
padding:3px 6px; 
text-decoration: none; 
color: #7a7564; 
font:bold 11px arial, verdana,sans-serif;
}

Perhaps i'll impliment your method.  I just made another form of pagination for my site, but it's not the greatest. I'm finally starting to understand how it works.  Can someone please explain to me what -> that means in php?
