[PHP] Pagelink

[ducktape]

i started doing this this morning and have currently like 75 pages with another 4 that i have to add. so far i have 42 pages of it in a db. and i use the pagelinks. i wanna condense the number of links to maybe 10 with ... in between.

like maybe Pages: 1 2 3 4 5 ... 38 39 40 41 42 or whatever corresponds to the last pages

kinda like this

this is the code i use for the pagelinks

echo "<center><table width=\"75%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"main\">
<tr><td width=\"25%\" valign=\"top\">";
if ($page != "1") {
$prevpage = $page - 1;
echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$prevpage\">Prev. Page</a>";
}
echo "</td><td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"center\">
Pages:&nbsp;";
$pagelink = "1";
do {
if ($page == "$pagelink") {
echo "$pagelink&nbsp;";
} else {
echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$pagelink\">$pagelink</a>&nbsp;";
}
$pagelink = $pagelink + 1;
} while ($pagelink <= $num_pages);
echo "</td><td width=\"25%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"right\">";
if ($page != "$num_pages") {
$nextpage = $page + 1;
echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$nextpage\">Next Page</a>";
}
echo "</td></tr></table></center>";

You code messy

Mabe something like this?

<?php

// Config //////////////////////////////////////
$pages_at_front = 5;
$pages_frontback_sep = "...";
$pages_at_back = 5;
////////////////////////////////////////////////

echo "<center><table width=\"75%\" cellpadding=\"5\" cellspacing=\"0\" class=\"main\"><tr><td width=\"25%\" valign=\"top\">";

if ($page != "1") {
    $prevpage = $page - 1;
    echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$prevpage\">Prev. Page</a>";
}

echo "</td><td width=\"50%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"center\">Pages:&nbsp;";

$pagelink = 1;
$printed_sep = 0;
do {

    if($pagelink <= $pages_at_front) {
        if ($page == "$pagelink") {
            echo "$pagelink&nbsp;";
        }
        
        else {
            echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$pagelink\">$pagelink</a>&nbsp;";
        }
    }

    elseif($pagelink >= ($num_pages - $pages_at_back)) {
        if($printed_sep == 0) {
            echo $pages_frontback_sep;
            $printed_sep == 1
        }

        if ($page == "$pagelink") {
            echo "$pagelink&nbsp;";
        }
        
        else {
            echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$pagelink\">$pagelink</a>&nbsp;";
        }
    }

    $pagelink = $pagelink + 1;
} while ($pagelink <= $num_pages);

echo "</td><td width=\"25%\" valign=\"top\" align=\"right\">";

if ($page != "$num_pages") {
    $nextpage = $page + 1;
    echo "<a href=\"{$PHP_SELF}?page=$nextpage\">Next Page</a>";
}

echo "</td></tr></table></center>";

?>

Oop, the elseif is supposed to say $num_pages not num_page. Try it now.

[ducktape]

alright i just changed the code and get

Parse error: parse error in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/gallery2.php on line 135

dunno, but try this, it seems to work on my server:

<?php

// Config //////////////////////////////////////
$pages_at_front = 5;
$pages_frontback_sep = "...";
$pages_at_back = 5;
////////////////////////////////////////////////

echo "<center><table width='75%' cellpadding='5' cellspacing='0' class='main'><tr><td width='25%' valign='top'>";

if ($page != "1") {
$prevpage = $page - 1;
echo "<a href='{$PHP_SELF}?page=$prevpage'>Prev. Page</a>";
}

echo "</td><td width='50%' valign='top' align='center'>Pages:&nbsp;";

$pagelink = 1;
$printed_sep = 0;
do {

if($pagelink <= $pages_at_front) {
if ($page = $pagelink) {
echo $pagelink . "&nbsp;";
}

else {
echo "<a href='{$PHP_SELF}?page=$pagelink'>" . $pagelink . "</a>&nbsp;";
}
}

elseif($pagelink >= ($num_pages - $pages_at_back)) {
if($printed_sep = 0) {
echo $pages_frontback_sep;
$printed_sep = 1;
}

elseif ($page == $pagelink) {
echo $pagelink . "&nbsp;";
}

else {
echo "<a href='{$PHP_SELF}?page=$pagelink'>" . $pagelink . "</a>&nbsp;";
}
}

$pagelink = $pagelink + 1;
} while ($pagelink <= $num_pages);

echo "</td><td width='25%'valign='top' align='right'>";

if ($page != $num_pages) {
    $nextpage = $page + 1;
    echo "<a href='{$PHP_SELF}?page=$nextpage'>Next Page</a>";
}

echo "</td></tr></table></center>";

?>

alright works now i dunno what i did but it wasnt working at first.

thanks for the help really appreciate it

[dawizman]

no problem

[Cagez]

Its pretty messy but if it does the job, then hey

[ducktape]

i kinda gave up on this for a while but

http://www.neonsonline.com/gallery2.php

if you notice there are no ... but there are 6 numbers at the end and the first 5 numbers arent links but the last 6 numbers are

and is there a way for it to show what page its on?maybe show up like this say if there were 70 pages and i was on 35

1 2 3 ... 34 35 36 ... 68 69 70

where the 35 would actually move where the person was at or
maybe said something like page 35 of 70. and then show 1 page on each side of the actual page as in if i were on 17 the middle portion would read like 16 17 18

or what would be even better is a drop down list. that lists like

Page 1 (1-15)
Page 2 (16-30)
....

Thats what we had before i put it all in a database
