Truncate number of pages in pagination

Question

This might be a quite silly question, but I can\'t figure anything out that might help me go further. I\'m looking to shorten the number of NUMBERS in my page navigation.

Answer 1

This one shows two links before and two after the current requested link:

5? 5 : $last;
}
if ($curr1>=$last) {
  $curr0 = $last-4 < 1 ? 1 : $last-4;
  $curr1 = $last;
}
// now print all links:
echo '« ';
for ($i=$curr0; $i<=$curr1; $i++) {
  $style = ($i==$current)? 'font-weight:bold':'';
  echo ' '.$i.' ';
}
echo '» ';
?>

This shows links like this: « 13 14 15 16 17 »
Imho it's not so difficult to add also first five and last five links by adding appropriate conditions.
