Hey guys, I believe I got this part working. It's for my pagination script. The purpose is to show the first 2 and last 2 links with the current page in the middle like so:

current page is: 7

5 6 7 8 9

current page is: 2

1 2 3 4

current page is: 10

8 9 10 11 12

So what I do is use a FOR loop and only take what's in the conditions and put into an array.
Here's the code...

Code:

/* CURRENT PAGE */
$get_page = 13;

/* SIMULATE AVAILABLE PAGES BY USING ARRAY FOR TESTING */
$array = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14);

$count = count($array);

/* WE WANT THE FIRST 2 AND LAST 2 LINKS */
for($i=0;$i<=$count;$i++) {

	if((($get_page - 2) == $array[$i]) || (($get_page - 1) == $array[$i]) || ($get_page == $array[$i]) || (($get_page + 1) == $array[$i]) || (($get_page + 2) == $array[$i])) {
	
	$array2[] = $array[$i];
	}



}

This returns:

11 12 13 14

Since 14 is the last page, there is no page 15....
