my own script

[myfan]

i used parts of the pagination script found on phpfreaks but have modified it abit.  So now my only issue i have is i need it to after giving me how many pages is to only display like 5 of the pages but on an upward route like

 

 

    < 1 2 3 4 5 >

   

 

what i want is lets say i want to limit the amount of pages in the pagination so that when i click 5 it shows me

   

    < 4 5 6 7 8 >

 

here is my code

$begin = $numofpages - $numofpages;
while($begin < 1)
  $begin++;
$end = $begin + 4;
while($end > $numofpages)
  $end--;

for($i = 1; $i <= $numofpages; $i++){
        if($i == $page){
            echo($i." ");
        }else{
            echo("<a href=\"index.php?page=$i\">$i</a> "); 
        }
        
      
    }  
if(($totalrows % $per_page) != 0){
   
        if($i == $page){
            echo($i." ");
        }else{
            echo("<a href=\"index.php?page=$i\">$i</a> ");
        }
    
    }  

}
