Page Number Creation

[phpmo]

I have a working page number script but the only problem is that when I get some many fields to display the pages go way off the screen and it gets messy.

 

Anyone have any good ideas to edit this script to maybe only display 10 pages at a time but go up as you go up in pages?

 

I've found a solution in a drop down box but some don't like it.

 

Here is the code I have.

 

// 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 = 50;

// Figure out the limit for the query based
// on the current page number.
$from = (($page * $max_results) - $max_results);
// Figure out the total number of results in DB:
	$total_results = mysql_result(mysql_query("SELECT COUNT(*) as Num FROM table"),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><font style=\"color: orange;\">Select a Page</font><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>";
	}

This might help. It limits the number of pages to show on each side of the current page.

Thx for the link. I'll see what I can get from it. I'd like to keep using the same code if possible since I've got it installed all over my site.
