Break up PHP Pagination links

Question

    if($options[\'         


        

Answer 1

You could do (on page 15)

[View Previous] 12 13 14 [15] 15 17 18 [View More]

Where the [View More] link fetches the rest (or just a few more) page links. This keeps things uncluttered while allowing the user to navigate all the pages.

Example (after clicking View Previous)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 [15] 15 17 18 [View More]

or (just show a few more) [View More] 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 [15] 15 17 18 [View More]

When I say "fetch" I mean use javascript to create links to the other pages w/o reloading the page
