Here is my php code which show this output:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11........... 100
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `new_data`";
$rs_result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
$total_records = mysqli_num_rows($rs_result); //count number of records
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $num_rec_per_page);
echo "<a href='View.php?page=1'>".'|<'."</a> "; // Goto 1st page
for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++) {
echo " <a href='View.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a> ";
};
echo " <a href='View.php?page=$total_pages'>".'>|'."</a> ";//Goto last page
Output i want :

$sql = "SELECT * FROM `new_data`";
$rs_result = mysqli_query($con,$sql);
$total_records = mysqli_num_rows($rs_result); //count number of records
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $num_rec_per_page);
echo "<a href='View.php?page=1'>".'|<'."</a> "; // Goto 1st page
$array = [];
for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++) {
$array[$i] = "<a href='View.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a>";
};
echo " <a href='View.php?page=$total_pages'>".'>|'."</a> ";//Goto last page
Add all the page informations in array and then later populate the dropdown with an array I have changed the for loop code only ... you just popultae your dropdown with the $array;

I done it with php using your php code. Here is my code:
$sql = "SELECT * FROM `new_data`";
$rs_result = mysqli_query($con,$sql); //run the query
$total_records = mysqli_num_rows($rs_result); //count number of records
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $num_rec_per_page);
echo "<a href='View.php?page=1'>".'FIRST <<'."</a> "; // Goto 1st page
for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++)
{
if($total_pages<=10)
{
echo " <a style='color:#333;' href='View.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a> ";
}
else
{
for ($i=1; $i<=10; $i++)
{
echo " <a style='color:#333;' href="View.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a> ";
};
echo "<select class='mySelectBox' onchange='location = this.options[this.selectedIndex].value;'>";
for ($i=11; $i<=$total_pages; $i++)
{
echo "<option value= View.php?page=".$i.">".$i."</option>";
};
echo "</select>";
}
};
echo " <a href='View.php?page=$total_pages'>".'........>> LAST'."</a> "; // Goto last page
