Page Number / Pagination

[Trium918]

This code comes from the tutorial.

 

I would like to modify this script to where it only allow

a total of 5 pages. Example,1 2 3 4 5.

 

I figure that the script below is where the modify would take

place, but could someone point me in the right direction?

<?php
// Figure out the total number of results in DB: 
$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM pages"),0); 

// Figure out the total number of pages. Always round up using ceil() 
$total_pages = ceil($total_results / $max_results); 

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "$i "; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</a> "; 
    } 
} 
?>

 

The entire script!

<?php
require_once("administrator_tool.php");
// If current page number, use it 
// if not, set one! 

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

// Define the number of results per page 
$max_results = 10; 

// Figure out the limit for the query based 
// on the current page number. 
$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results);  

// Perform MySQL query on only the current page number's results 

$sql = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM pages LIMIT $from, $max_results"); 

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($sql)){ 
    // Build your formatted results here. 
    echo $row['title']."<br />"; 
} 

// Figure out the total number of results in DB: 
$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM pages"),0); 

// Figure out the total number of pages. Always round up using ceil() 
$total_pages = ceil($total_results / $max_results); 

// Build Page Number Hyperlinks 
echo "<center>Select a Page<br />"; 

// Build Previous Link 
if($page > 1){ 
    $prev = ($page - 1); 
    echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$prev\"> << Previous</a> "; 
} 

for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++){ 
    if(($page) == $i){ 
        echo "$i "; 
        } else { 
            echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$i\">$i</a> "; 
    } 
} 

// Build Next Link 
if($page < $total_pages){ 
    $next = ($page + 1); 
    echo "<a href=\"".$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']."?page=$next\">Next>></a>"; 
} 
echo "</center>"; 
?>
