How to limit the number of pagination pages - PHP - php

Question

I have this algorithm I made for pagination.
The $array variable is a result set from the query after the page number and limit has been set. It's a result from a PDO::fetchAll() function.
The $array["totalCount"] contains the count of ALL the rows in the table, not only that set but all the rows.
What I want is to limit the number of pages displayed, and make it somehow like google style pagination, I've search a lot of similar questions online, but what makes me struggle is to guess how I can implement it in my algorithm which is much different from others.
Thanks in advance.
public static function renderPaginationBar($obj, $params) {
$array = $obj->getAll($params);
$set = $params["set"];
$perSet = $params["limit"];
$pages = ceil((int)$array["totalCount"] / (int)$perSet);
if($pages > 1 && $set <= $pages) {
$query = preg_replace('/set=\d*/i', '', http_build_query($_GET));
?>
<ul class="pagination">
<?php
if($set > 1) {
?>
<li><<< Inicio</li>
<li><<</li>
<?php
}
for($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
$class = $set == $i ? "active" : "";
?>
<li class="<?php echo $class; ?>"><?php echo $i; ?></li>
<?php
}
if($set < $pages) {
?>
<li>>></li>
<li>Último >>></li>
<?php
}
?>
</ul>
<?php
}
unset($array["totalCount"]);
return $array;
}

you can try displaying it as a dropdown between the 'next' and 'prev' button if you want.. it would be easier to display all the page numbers..
or you can first get the value of current page, add 5 and store it as '$add' and minus 5 and store it as '$minus' then insert this in the page buttons:
<input type="submit" value="<?php echo $page_num;?>" <?php if($pagenum > $add || $pagenum < $minus){ echo "style='display:none'";?>>
it will hide the buttons that are more than 5 and less than 5 the current page
replace yor 'for' with this:
$get_add = $params["set"] + 5;
$get_minus = $params["set"] - 5;
for($i = 1; $i <= $pages; $i++) {
$class = $set == $i ? "active" : "";
?>
<li class="<?php echo $class; ?>" <?php if($i > $get_add || $i < $get_minus){ echo "style='display:none;position:absolute'";?>><?php echo $i; ?></li>
<?php
}
