Re[2]: [PHP] Re: counting pages...

Now define the start_page (usually page 1, right?). Then you've got current_page - the one you're on. I would do this: If total_pages less than 10, just display links for 1 to 10 highlighting the current page, using a simple for loop. Otherwise: Take current_page and minus 5, count how many pages "back" you can go before you hit start_page (if at all). Do the same with current_page + 5, count how many pages until you've either added 5 pages or hit total_pages. Then just draw them all out. I know it's not actual code, but you should get the idea. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html
