Page Numbering Links (Range)

[ted_chou12]

Hello, I wish someone to check this for me:

<?php //Page Range sorting:
if ($page <= 5 && $totalpages >= 11) {$pagelowerlim = 1;$pageupperlim = 11;}
elseif ($page <= 5 && $totalpages < 11) {$pagelowerlim = 1;$pageupperlim = $totalpages;}
elseif ($page > 5 && 1 > ($totalpages - 10)) {$pagelowerlim = 1;$pageupperlim = $totalpages;}
elseif ($page > 5 && $page < ($totalpages - 4)) {$pagelowerlim = $page - 5;$pageupperlim = $page + 5;}
else {$pagelowerlim = $totalpages - 10;$pageupperlim = $totalpages;}
?>

This code is suppose to give a range of 10 with the current page the median, down by 5 and up by 5:

so the page links would look like

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

other examples:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11

if there are 15 pages:

5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15

 

The basic rules are:

there are always 11 numbers.

if the page is less than 6, the limit is always 11, and the min is 1.

if the page is less than 5 away from the total page number, the upper limit is the total page number, and the lower limit is 10 away from the limit.

 

Sorry to confuse you, but I had tried my best to explain it, please check for the validity, and improve it for more aligancy if possible.

Thanks,

Ted.

I get what it's supposed to do but why didn't you just test it yourself? What is the problem?

 

And wtf is "aligancy"?

And wtf is "aligancy"?

 

It might be what crocodiles wish they had, but more likely it's an alternate for 'elegant'

Obviously not...You know, Firefox 2 has a built-in spelling checker.
