Search results group by 10 in each page - php

I have stacked on finding a way to code a php search script which will group results e.g of 10 per page.
e.g page
______________________________
| ________ |
| search: |________| submit |
| |
| |
| ________________________ |
| | <-|---|------------<div id=results></div>
| |________________________| | |
|______________________________| |
v
div which shows the results grouped
by 10
For example: Suppose that I search images by tag, and for the tag 'love' there are 20 images. How could I show the first 10 results on one page and the last 10 results on another page. (the first page has a link to the second page and visa versa).

A hint is that the modulo operator is really handy for pagination. It checks the remainder of a division operation, which corresponds to zero for new pages when using it for pagination.
Here's a quick and dirty example of pagination:
<?php
$arr = array();
for ( $x = 0; $x < 100; $x += 1 ) {
$arr[] = $x;
};
$page = 7;
$per_page = 7;
$current_page = 1;
for ( $z = 0; $z < count( $arr ); $z += 1 ) {
if ( 0 === ( $z % $per_page ) ) {
$current_page += 1;
}
if ( $current_page === $page ) {
echo "value $z on page $page\n";
}
}
?>
~$ php pagination.php
value 35 on page 7
value 36 on page 7
value 37 on page 7
value 38 on page 7
value 39 on page 7
value 40 on page 7
value 41 on page 7

PHP crosstab formatting from array

Hi I have a PHP array like this
$table=array();
$subject_names=array();
$subject_names[118]="English";
$subject_names[108]="Software Engeneering";
$table['Josh'][118]['int'] =55;
$table['Josh'][118]['ext'] = 10;
$table['Josh'][108]['int'] =45;
$table['Josh'][108]['ext'] = 12;
$table['Matt'][118]['int'] =45;
$table['Matt'][118]['ext'] = 12;
$table['Matt'][108]['int'] =50;
$table['Matt'][108]['ext'] = 15;
Here 118 and 108 are subject_id I am trying to format it like this
student | English | Software Engeneering |
| int. mark | ext. mark | int. mark | ext. mark |
___________________________________________________________
Josh | 55 | 10 | 45 | 12
Matt | 45 | 12 | 50 | 15
I tried
echo "Student Name\t";
foreach($subject_names as $sub_name)
{
echo "$sub_name\t";
}
echo "<br>";
foreach($table as $sname => $subjects){
echo "$sname\t";
foreach($subjects as $subject_name => $types)
{
foreach($types as $marks)
{
echo "$marks\t";
}
}
echo "<br>";
}
It working fine but if I change the position of array item of table like
$table['Josh'][118]['int'] =55;
$table['Josh'][108]['int'] =45;
$table['Josh'][118]['ext'] = 10;
$table['Josh'][108]['ext'] = 12;
It won't give a correct result. Is there anyway to assure that the result are always correct.
Thank you for your any help and suggestions
Here's a solution I wrote for your request, picking the scores using the $subject_names as control rather than the students' scoresheet (I hope you get what I mean after going through the codes)...
$table=array();
$subject_names=array();
// notice that I switched subject order, just to show that subjects control the marks displayed thereby ensuring consistent score mapping
$subject_names[108]="Software Engeneering";
$subject_names[118]="English";
// and I'm using the rearranged scores (the sample use-case you specified in the question that distorts your output)
$table['Josh'][118]['int'] =55;
$table['Josh'][108]['int'] =45;
$table['Josh'][118]['ext'] = 10;
$table['Josh'][108]['ext'] = 12;
$table['Matt'][118]['int'] =45;
$table['Matt'][118]['ext'] = 12;
$table['Matt'][108]['int'] =50;
$table['Matt'][108]['ext'] = 15;
echo "Student Name\t";
foreach($subject_names as $sub_name)
{
echo "$sub_name\t";
}
echo "\n";
// proposed solution:
foreach($table as $sname => $subjects){
echo "$sname\t";
foreach ($subject_names as $subject_id => $name) {
foreach ($subjects[$subject_id] as $mark) {
echo "$mark\t";
}
}
echo "\n";
}
Here's the output of the script above...
Student Name Software Engeneering English
Josh 45 12 55 10
Matt 50 15 45 12
Running the same data through the script provided in the question, here's the output (distorted)...
Student Name Software Engeneering English
Josh 55 10 45 12
Matt 45 12 50 15
P.S: 'Engeneering' should be 'Engineering'
I hope I've been helpful.
Cheers!

Logic behind pagination like google

What is the logic behind google's pagination behaviour?
My paginator goes something like this:
[1] 2 3 ... 184 >
< 1 [2] 3 4 ... 184 >
< 1 2 [3] 4 5 ... 184 >
< 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 3 4 [5] 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 4 5 [6] 7 8 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 5 6 [7] 8 9 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 6 7 [8] 9 10 ... 184 >
Here is a live version of the above example: http://www.dev.thomaskile.me/?page=test-zone&module=Paginator.
I know why this is happening; I've set the amount of page numbers to be shown on each side of current page to two (2).
I would rather have the range of numbers to be equal like this:
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 184 >
< 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 3 4 [5] 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 4 5 [6] 7 8 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 5 6 [7] 8 9 ... 184 >
< 1 ... 6 7 [8] 9 10 ... 184 >
It's at the beginning and the end I need to make some changes, but can't figure out how to make it an easy operation...
I would like to make it flexible as well. Meaning I would like to be able to change the number of wanted pages on each side, and have the script expand and calculate it all...
Here is my code so far:
/**
* page controller buttons
* #param str $this->querySting href="URL string"
* #param str $this->pageIdentifier $_GET['this-name']
* #param int $this->numPages Total amount of pages
* #param int $this->midRange Number of pages to show on each side of current page
*/
public function prevPage()
{
if ($this->currentPage > 1){
$prevPage = ($this->currentPage - 1);
return 'prev';
}
}
public function nextPage()
{
if ($this->currentPage < $this->numPages) {
$nextPage = $this->currentPage + 1;
return 'next';
}
}
public function firstPage()
{
if ($this->currentPage > ($this->midRange + 1)) { // if number of pages between "currentPage" and "firstPage" exceeds $midRange with 1...
$firstPage .= '1'; // ...show "first page"-link
if ($this->currentPage > ($this->midRange + 2)) { // if number of pages between $currentPage and "first page" exceeds $midRange with more than 1
$firstPage .= '…'; // add "..." between "1st page"-link and first page in $range
}
}
return $firstPage;
}
public function lastPage()
{
if ($this->currentPage < ($this->numPages - $this->midRange)) { // if number of pages between "currentPage" and "last page" is equal to $midRange
if (($this->currentPage < ($this->numPages - $this->midRange) - 1)) { // if number of pages between $currentPage and "last page" exceeds $range with more than two
$lastPage .= '…'; // add "..." between "last page"-link and last page in $range
}
$lastPage .= ''.$this->numPages.''; // show "last page"-link
}
return $lastPage;
}
# Range of pages between (prev first ...) and (... last next)
public function listPages()
{
for ($i = ($this->currentPage - $this->midRange); $i < (($this->currentPage + $this->midRange) + 1); $i++){
if (($i > 0) && ($i <= $this->numPages)) // if page number are within page range
{
if ($i == $this->currentPage) { $listPages .= '<a class="current">'.$i.'</a>'; } // if we're on current page
else { $listPages .= ''.$i.''; } // if not current page
}
}
return $listPages;
}
This is what I do for my Pagination.
$startPage = $currentPage - 4;
$endPage = $currentPage + 4;
if ($startPage <= 0) {
$endPage -= ($startPage - 1);
$startPage = 1;
}
if ($endPage > $totalPage)
$endPage = $totalPage;
if ($startPage > 1) echo " First ... ";
for($i=$startPage; $i<=$endPage; $i++) echo " {$i} ";
if ($endPage < $totalPage) echo " ... Last ";
I believe my code is self-explained, but I will try to explain it in plain English. First of all, you need to know two things before you can generate Pagination: $totalPage and $currentPage.
Step 1: Assuming that the current page is in mid-range. $startPage and $endPage store range of page that pagination try to generate.
Step 2: If $startPage is negative, then you need to make-up for $endPage.
Step 3: If $endPage excess $totalPage, then $endPage is the last page.
Step 4: Generating Pagination into HTML. (it is up to you how you want your pagination to look. I will simply use plain text to represent my pagination)
if ($startPage > 1) echo " First ... ";
for($i=$startPage; $i<=$endPage; $i++) echo " {$i} ";
if ($endPage < $totalPage) echo " ... Last ";
Fixed flaw to my previous logic
$startPage = ($curPage < 5)? 1 : $curPage - 4;
$endPage = 8 + $startPage;
$endPage = ($totalPage < $endPage) ? $totalPage : $endPage;
$diff = $startPage - $endPage + 8;
$startPage -= ($startPage - $diff > 0) ? $diff : 0;
if ($startPage > 1) echo " First ... ";
for($i=$startPage; $i<=$endPage; $i++) echo " {$i} ";
if ($endPage < $totalPage) echo " ... Last ";
This conversation was a great start for me! But I wanted a paginator closer to the intentions of the original question, that:
1) Could be contained in a function with variables to alter the total pages, current page, and number of pages on each side of the current to show.
2) Maintains a constant width, similar to the original post:
< [1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 ... 99 >
< 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 ... 99 >
< 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 ... 99 >
< 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 ... 99 >
< 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 ... 99 >
< 1 ... 4 5 [6] 7 8 ... 99 >
< 1 ... 5 6 [7] 8 9 ... 99 >
< 1 ... 92 93 [94] 95 96 ... 99 >
< 1 ... 93 94 [95] 96 97 98 99 >
< 1 ... 93 94 95 [96] 97 98 99 >
< 1 ... 93 94 95 96 [97] 98 99 >
< 1 ... 93 94 95 96 97 [98] 99 >
< 1 ... 93 94 95 96 97 98 [99] >
3) Continues to display the number "2" rather than "..." in cases where you would have 1 ... 3
4) Same thing for the end.
So here's what I did. I am coding in a different language (coffeescript), but it should function as good sudo-code anyway:
get_pages_array = (total_page, each_side, curr_page) ->
if total_page <= (2*each_side)+5
# in this case, too few pages, so display them all
start_page = 1
end_page = total_page
else if curr_page<=each_side+3
# in this case, curr_page is too close to the beginning
start_page = 1
end_page = (2*each_side)+3
else if curr_page >= total_page - (each_side+2)
# in this case, curr_page is too close to the end
start_page = total_page - (2*each_side) - 2
end_page = total_page
else
# regular case
start_page = curr_page - each_side
end_page = curr_page + each_side
return_me = []
if start_page> 1
return_me.push "1"
if start_page>2
return_me.push "..."
for x in [start_page..end_page]
return_me.push x
if end_page<total_page-1
return_me.push "..."
if end_page<total_page
return_me.push total_page
return return_me
I am using this code for each_side = 2, so that's where I'm sure it works.
EDIT: fixed logic as per #Vextil
Here's a Python program that shows how to do this correctly:
def main():
num_pages = 13
page = 12
window = 5
start = page - window
end = page + window - 1
if start <= 0:
end = end - start + 1
start = 1
if end > num_pages:
end = num_pages
start = max(end - (window * 2) + 1, 1)
for no in range(start, end + 1):
print "{}*".format(no) if page == no else no
if __name__ == '__main__':
main()
This is pure awesome! I think I got this paginator to work the way I described.
Please, have a look and try it out here http://dev.thomaskile.me/?page=test-zone&module=Paginator and let me know...
After a lot of logical math studying I finally came to this conclusion:
In order to make this act so differently on different levels, there have to be some if, elsef-s to handle the logic on each level seperatly. I'll try to explain, but find it hard to do in a good way...
These are the levels I'm talking about:
If currentPage == firstPage :
Calculate how many pages to show after currentPage starting from 2nd page.
This calculation needed to be done based on how many page boxes there would be at the most. (midRange value is a key factor here)
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 184 >
elseif currentPage is in between firstPage and midRange value maxed out.
Reduce pages in range by one to prevent moving the whole paginator to the right once prevPage is added.
Calculate pages to show before and after currentPage to keep the amount of pages equal trough the whole thing.
< 1 [2] 3 4 5 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 ... 184 >
< 1 2 3 [4] 5 6 7 ... 184 >
elseif midRange value is maxed out on each side. Meaning we're in the middle somewhere.
midRange pages + the current page + midRange pages. Quite straight forward i guess...
< 1 ... 3 4 [5] 6 7 ... 184 >
...
...
...
< 1 ... 178 179 [180] 181 182 ... 184 >
elseif currentPage is in between midRange value and lastPage
Almost the same as in the beginning. Difference was to calculate a static pagenumber to start pages from, then calculate pages to show before/after current page...
(this, by the way, has been my headache this weekend)
< 1 ... 178 179 180 [181] 182 183 184 >
< 1 ... 178 179 180 181 [182] 183 184 >
< 1 ... 178 179 180 181 182 [183] 184 >
elseif currentPage == numPages (number of tatal pages).
Pretty much same as firstPage operation... calculating how many pages needed to fill the whole thing up and calculate where to start from...
What I need to do now is to make the code itself better...
< 1 ... 178 179 180 181 182 183 [184] >
The "problem" in my case was that the whole paginator should calculate everything based on the midRange value and nothing else.
For me to execute this paginator in any of my future project, all I have to do is:
$paginator = new paginator((int)); // e.g. number of total results from a db request
I might in most cases need to add a personal querystring to make sure the a href is working:
$paginator->set_queryString('my querystring');
And that's pretty much all. I've set up a couple of optional functions like this:
$paginator->set_resultsPerPage((int));
$paginator->set_midRange((int));
$paginator->set_pageIdentifier('querystring-pageNumber-identifier-name-for-get'); // whatever I needed
Finally i display the paginator page controller like this:
$paginator->pageController('full'); // full, med, min for different styles.
If non of these are good enough, i could just call each button like this:
$paginator->prevPage();
$paginator->firstPage();
$paginator->listPages();
$paginator->lastPage();
$paginator->nextPage();
$paginator->pageJumper();
$paginator->perPageSelector();
I assume your pagination have this structure:
number_of_active_page + separate(...) + page(184) + next_page(>)
You can set number_of_active_page become 8
( include prev_page(<) + pages ( ... and page number )
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 ... 184 >
[number_of_active_page(set to 8)] + separate + page + next_page
< 1 ... 3 4 [5] 6 7 ... 184 >
import math
size = 3
len = 13
for page in range(1,10):
if(( size*(page-1) ) >len):
startPoint = (size*(page-1)) - (size*(page- math.ceil(len/size)))
else:
startPoint = ( size*(page-1) )
if((startPoint +size)>len):
endPoint = len
else:
endPoint = (startPoint +size -1)
print("Page = "+str(page))
print("start = " +str(startPoint))
print("end = " +str(endPoint))
print()
Hear is a simple example of pagination display:
$paginationDisplay = ""; // Initialize the pagination output variable
// This code runs only if the last page variable is not equal to 1,
// if it is only 1 page we require no paginated links to display
if ($lastPage != "1"){
// This shows the user what page they are on, and the total number of pages
$paginationDisplay .= 'Page <strong>' . $pn .
'</strong> of ' . $lastPage. 'last';
// If we are not on page 1 we can place the Back button
if ($pn != 1) {
$previous = $pn - 1;
$paginationDisplay .= ' <a href="' .
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?pn=' . $previous . '"> Back</a> ';
}
// Lay in the clickable numbers display here between the Back and Next links
$paginationDisplay .= '<span>' . $centerPages . '</span>';
// If we are not on the very last page we can place the Next button
if ($pn != $lastPage) {
$nextPage = $pn + 1;
$paginationDisplay .= ' <a href="' .
$_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?pn=' . $nextPage . '"> Next</a> ';
}
}
This is the pagination logic I have
$pLinks = 5; // Links per page
$pMids = 3;
$pTot = 10; // Total page
$pSel = 1 // Selected page
if (($pSel <= $pMids) || ($pTot <= $pLinks)) {
$sPage = 1;
$ePage = ($pTot <= $pLinks) ? $pTot : $pLinks;
} else {
$etPage = $pSel + ($pMids - 1);
$ePage = ($etPage <= $pTot) ? $etPage : $pTot;
$sPage = $ePage - ($pLinks - 1);
}
if ($pSel > $sPage) {
$sL = 'First';
$sN = '«';
} else {
$sL = 'First';
$sN = '«';
}
if ($pSel < $ePage) {
$eL = 'End';
$eN = '»';
} else {
$eL = 'End';
$eN = '»';
}
$pOptions = '';
$pOptions .= '<span class="iPage">'.$pSel.'/'.$pTot.'</span>';
$pOptions .= '<span class="renderFL">'.$sL.'</span>';
$pOptions .= '<span class="renderPN">'.$sN.'</span>';
for ($i = $sPage; $i <= $ePage; $i++) {
if($i != $pSel) {
$pOptions .= '<span>'.$i.'</span>';
} else {
$pOptions .= '<span class="selected">'.$i.'</span>';
}
}
$pOptions .= '<span class="renderPN">'.$eN.'</span>';
$pOptions .= '<span class="renderFL">'.$eL.'</span>';
The result would be look like this:
1 -> [1] 2 3 4 5
2 -> 1 [2] 3 4 5
3 -> 1 2 [3] 4 5
..
5 -> 3 4 [5] 6 7
6 -> 4 5 [6] 7 8
..
8 -> 6 7 [8] 9 10
9 -> 6 7 8 [9] 10
10 -> 6 7 8 9 [10]

How to limit pages shown in pagination script

I have a pagination script which I have posted below, the problem is I have alot of data so I end with a huge list of pages, I want to make it show only 10 pages at a time and then maybe the last 2 pages like this:
previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9...24 25 next
is there anyway I can change the code to do this. Below is the included pagination script I can include the other part of script if needed.
<?php

Untested, but this should always show pages 1 - 3 and the last 3 pages of the list. Otherwise, it will only ever show the previous 3 pages and the next three pages from the current one you're on. (whenever the amount of pages is greater than 10)
$alwaysShowPages = array(1, 2, 3);
// dynamically add last 3 pages
for ($i = 3; $i >= 0; $i--) {
$alwaysShowPages[] = $numofpages - $i;
}

) {
$showPageLink = false;

I have a version that does this:

The ... are actually links that go halfway between current page and 1st of the next (or last) group of links.
I made it so the 1st 6 pages always appear if current page is less than 5.
But I made all parameters dynamic, so you can change variables like:
$end_links = 3; // set number of links at each end to always show
$center_links; // number of links including current page to show 'floating' in center
It took me hours to do it, which is pretty sad. Oh well.
Just use arrays a lot, and figure out how to add the right values to it. It's simple math and logic, really.

Add Ellipsis in PHP Pagination

.
//Prev
.
for($number = 1; $number <= $num_pages; $number++)
{
if($page == $number)
{
$navigator .= "<b>[$number]</b> ";
}
else
{
$navigator .= "<a href='?c=".$_SESSION['cID']".&rows=".$per_page."&page=$number'>$number</a> ";
}
}
.
//Next
.
This is the snippet that prints number of pages.
Sample output:
Previous 1 2 3 4 [5] 6 7 8 9 10 Next
5 is the current page.
Problem: page numbers are shown in sequence with no restrictions. If i have 100 pages, all numbers show up.
Question: I need my paging numbers appear as the following...
Assume we only have 7 ($num_pages) pages:
Previous 1 2 [3] 4 5 6 7 Next
Assume we have 90 pages:
[1] 2 3 4 5 6 7 ... 90 Next
Assume user clicked the 7th page:
Previous 1 ... 5 6 [7] 8 9 10 11 ... 90 Next
Assume user clicked 11th page:
Previous 1 ... 9 10 [11] 12 13 14 15 ... 90 Next
Assume user clicked 15th page:
Previous 1 ... 13 14 [15] 16 17 18 19 ... 90 Next
Assume user clicked 90th page:
Previous 1 ... 84 85 86 87 88 89 [90]
Any help will be appreciated.
$radius = 3;
for($i = 1; $i <= $total; $i++){
if(($i >= 1 && $i <= $radius) || ($i > $current - $radius && $i < $current + $radius) || ($i <= $total && $i > $total - $radius)){
if($i == $current) echo "<b>".$i."</b>";
}
elseif($i == $current - $radius || $i == $current + $radius) {
echo "... ";
}
}
This should be more than enough to get you started at least
$count = 7; // number to show
// start at half threshold down from the current location.
$number = $current - round($count/2);
if( $number > 1 ) echo '...';
else $ // increase to have number start at 1.
for( $number; $number < $number + $count; $number++)
{
// your for loop as normal
}
if( $number < $total ) echo '...';
An elegant solution for this kind of thing is to use "logarithmic page navigation". See my answer to this question (PHP code included):

stuck at displaying a PHP paginator

I'm trying to create a paginator. I have created a paginator class with properties you can see below. But now I'm trying to display the paginator, but I'm completely stuck on different loops (perhaps I should just go to bed :P) and stuff.
The important properties are:
windows_size // the amount of pages visible
num_pages // the total number of pages
current_page // the currently selected page
I have the following object:
o: (Paginator)
->item_count : 295
page_size : 50
window_size : 5
num_pages : 10
current_page: 1
first_index : 50
And I want to display:
[1] 2 3 4 5 ...
Or I have:
o: (Paginator)
->item_count : 295
page_size : 50
window_size : 5
num_pages : 10
current_page: 5
first_index : 50
... 3 4 [5] 6 7...
Or I have:
o: (Paginator)
->item_count : 295
page_size : 50
window_size : 5
num_pages : 10
current_page: 9
first_index : 50
... 6 7 8 [9] 10
How would I get this to be displayed?

Generally, it's very simple piece of code.
You can use something like this.
function myPaginator($total_items, $items_per_page, $visible_pages_pad, $active_page) {
$res = '';
if ($items_per_page > 0 && $active_page > 0 && $visible_pages_pad) {
$max_page = floor($total_items/$items_per_page);
if ($total_items % $items_per_page > 0) $max_page++;
if ($active_page <= $max_page) {
$visible_pages = $visible_pages_pad * 2 + 1;
if ($max_page <= $visible_pages) {
$minp = 1;
$maxp = $max_page;
}
else {
$minp = $active_page - $visible_pages_pad;
if ($minp < 1) $minp = 1;
$maxp = $minp + $visible_pages - 1;
if ($maxp > $max_page) {
$maxp = $max_page;
$minp = $maxp - $visible_pages + 1;
}
}
for ($i = $minp; $i <= $maxp; $i++) {
$page = $i == $active_page ? "[$i]" : $i; // create links here
$res .= "$page ";
}
$res = trim($res);
if ($minp > 1) $res = '... ' . $res; // left dots
if ($maxp < $max_page) $res .= ' ...'; // right dots
}
}
return $res == '' ? false : $res;
}
Parameters:
$total_items - total number of items in list
$items_per_page - how menu items you want on page
$visible_pages_pad - left/right padding (this value * 2 + 1 = number of paginator items)
$active_page - selected page in paginator
Result:
Function myPaginator() returns
false if something is wrong, otherwise returns string.
Limitations:
all parameters should be integers
$items_per_page > 0
$visible_pages_pad > 0
1 <= $active_page <= {TOTAL NUMBER OF PAGES}
Usage:
$total_items = 250; // total items
$items_per_page = 20; // 250/20 = 13 pages
$visible_pages_pad = 2; // 5 pages visible in paginator (2*2+1)
$active_page = 1;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: [1] 2 3 4 5 ...
$active_page = 2;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: 1 [2] 3 4 5 ...
$active_page = 3;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: 1 2 [3] 4 5 ...
$active_page = 6;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: ... 4 5 [6] 7 8 ...
$active_page = 11;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: ... 9 10 [11] 12 13
$active_page = 12;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: ... 9 10 11 [12] 13
$active_page = 13;
echo myPaginator($total_items,$items_per_page,$visible_pages_pad,$active_page);
// output: ... 9 10 11 12 [13]
Note: $visible_pages_pad is number of pages in paginator left/right of the active-page number.
Hope this helps...
