I'm basically working on a pagination function. Here's what I have so far:

PHP Code:
<?php

function printPageIndexes($currentPage$totalPages$theURL$pageGET$printExtras="")
{

if (
$printExtras!="")
{
  if (
$currentPage!=1)
    {
    
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET '"=1">&lt;&lt;</a> ';
    
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" . ($currentPage-1) . '">&lt;</a> ';
    }
}

  if (
$totalPages >=10)
    {
      
        if (
$currentPage<=|| $currentPage>=($totalPages-5))
        {
          while(
$i <= $totalPages)
          {

        if (
$i!=$currentPage)
            {
                  
// ******************************
                  
if ($currentPage==|| $currentPage==$totalPages)
                    {
                      if (
$i <=|| $i >=($totalPages-5))
                        {
                        
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" $i '">' $i '</a> ';
                        }
                        else
                        {
                        if (!
$dotsPrinter)
                          {
                          
$dotsPrinter=true;
                          
$toScreen $toScreen '[...]';
                            }
                        }
                        
                    
// ******************************
                    
}
                    else
                    {
                  
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" $i '">' $i '</a> ';
              }
                }
            else
            {
                
$toScreen $toScreen $i;
            }
        
$i++;
            }
        }
        
    }
    else
    {
      while(
$i <= $totalPages)
        {
      if (
$i!=$currentPage)
          {
              
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" $i '">' $i '</a> ';
          }
          else
          {
              
$toScreen $toScreen $i;
          }
      
$i++;
    }
    }

if (
$printExtras!="")
{
  if (
$currentPage!=$totalPages)
    {
    
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" . ($currentPage+1) . '">&gt;</a> ';
    
$toScreen $toScreen ' <a href="' $theURL $pageGET "=" $totalPages '">&gt;&gt;</a> ';
    }
}
    
    return 
$toScreen;
    
}

It's not finished yet as you can tell.

I basically want to get results like this:
1 2 3 4 5 [...] 56 57 58 59 60 61
or
1 2 3 4 5 [...] 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 [...] 56 57 58 59 60 61
or
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 [...] 56 57 58 59 60 61
or
1 [...] 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 [...] 56 57 58 59 60 61

Where the bolded number is the current page.

It's basically show 5 pages surrounding the current page, unless it's within 5 of the first page, or the total pages.

My problem is that I can't figure out how to do it.

I'm going to keep trying to work it out, but any help is appreciated .
