Paging with controllers [HELP]

[KenjiBailly]

I'm making a new thread on this, as I'm actually somewhere now.

 

I've got a paging system, but there's a problem.

 

I work with DAO's and controllers.

Thing is, my second page (of my paging system) goes to index.php?page=2. The major problem here is that whenever you go to a page that doesn't exist in the index.php it redirects automatically to index.php. Page 2 isn't mentioned there as I can't mention every single page there as the pages will increase the more items there will be inserted.

 

Here's the entire code I'm using for the paging:

 

<?php

 

      $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "wanthave", "wanthavepass", "wanthave");      

      $count_mem = $mysqli->query("SELECT `id` FROM `wanthave_items`");

      $rows = $count_mem->num_rows;

      $num_pages = ceil($rows / 5);

 

      if (isset($_REQUEST['page'])) {

      $page = $_REQUEST['page'];

      } else {

      $page = 1;

      }

 

      if ( empty($_REQUEST['page'])) {

      $start = 0;

      } else {

      $start = ($page - 1) * 5;

      }

 

      if ($num_pages != 1) {

      if ($num_pages > 5) {

      echo "<a href='index.php?page=1'>First</a> ... ";

 

      for ($n = $page - 2; $n < $page + 2; $n++) {

      echo "<a href='index.php?page=" . $n . "'>" . $n . "</a>";

      }

 

      echo "&nbsp... <a href='index.php?page=" . $num_pages . "'>Last</a>";

      } else {

      foreach($items as $item) {

      echo "<li>";

      echo "<a href=\"index.php?page=item-detail&id=" . $item['id'] . "\">";

      echo $item['name'];

      echo "</a>";

      echo "</li>";

      }

      for ($n = 1; $n < ($num_pages + 1); $n++) {

      echo "<a href='index.php?page=" . $n . "'>" . $n . "</a>";

 

      if ($n == $num_pages) {

      echo "";

      } else {

      echo ", ";

      }

      }

      }

      }

 

?>

Bump? Could someone please help?

 

Changed my code to this:

<?php

    $mysqli = new mysqli("localhost", "wanthave", "wanthavepass", "wanthave");      
    $count_mem = $mysqli->query("SELECT `id` FROM `wanthave_items`");
    $rows = $count_mem->num_rows;

    $perPage = 5; // items to be shown per page
    $num_pages = ceil($rows / $perPage);

    $visiblePages = 5; // if current page is 7 show: 5,6,7,8,9,...
    $visibleOffset = ceil($visiblePages / 2) - 1; // number of pages to show on the left and on the right of the current page



    // Where do you use this ???
    // $start = $page == 1 ? 0 : (($page - 1) * $perPage);

    if ($num_pages > 1) {

        $first = $last = $pagesStr = '';

            echo $first . $pageStr . $last;

        }
            foreach($items as $item) {
                echo "<li>
                    <a href=\"index.php?page=item-detail&id={$item['id']}\">{$item['name']}</a>
                </li>";
            }

            for ($n = 1; $n < ($num_pages + 1); $n++) {
                echo "<a href='index.php?page=$n'>$n</a>";        
                if ($n < $num_pages) echo ", ";      
            }
?>
