CodeTech Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Hello, everyone. I am having some trouble figuring this out. I am trying to create a paging bar(so to speak) to display results by page number. Trying to get the paging bar to go as follows... Requested Page The resulting paging bar Page 1 1 2 3 4 5 Page 2 1 2 3 4 5 Page 3 1 2 3 4 5 Page 4 1 2 3 4 5 Page 5 4 5 6 7 8 Page 6 4 5 6 7 8 Page 7 4 5 6 7 8 Page 8 7 8 9 10 11 ...... This is what I have right now that I am trying to get to work. I have changed this so many times and been working on it for 2 days. I think I'm just confusing my self. This can't be that hard.. <?php echo '<html>'; //---these values changed based on query---- $Page=$_GET["page"]; //the page number requested $AvailablePages=5; //number of pages available after the page requested //---calculations--- $StartPage=round($Page/5)*5; $EndPage=ceil($StartPage/5)*5 ; //the last page number to be displayed in paging if($StartPage<5) {$StartPage=1;} //just looking at variables echo 'page is: ' . $Page . '<br>'; echo '<br>Starting @: ' . $StartPage; echo '<br>Ending @: ' . $EndPage . '<br>'; //--create the paging bar-- $PagingBar=''; while($StartPage<=$EndPage) { if($Page==$StartPage) { $PagingBar=$PagingBar . $StartPage . ''; } else { $PagingBar=$PagingBar . ' <a href="test.php?page=' . $StartPage . '">' . $StartPage . '</a> '; } $StartPage++; } //---show the paging bar-- echo $PagingBar; echo '</html>'; ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
