Hi,

I have code below works fine but I want links to be listed different way. If you want you can use my code, otherwise I am open for your codes.

Original style:
Previous 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 Next
If it is 1000 pages then, this list will be very long.

What I want is something like this:
« 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 »
or
<< Back 5 6 7 8 Next >>
or
<< Back 1 2 3 ... 6 7 8 Next >>
or
<< Back ... 5 6 7 8 ... Next >>

Simply I don't want to print all the links.

Thanks in advance

<?php

$connection = mysql_connect('localhost', 'root', '');

	mysql_select_db('cartoy', $connection) or die('Could not select database.');
}

//Count how many product we have.
$sql="SELECT COUNT(*) AS totalProduct FROM product";

//Display middle pages.

	} else {

$nextPage = $page + 1;
if($nextPage <= $totalPages) {
	echo("<a href=http://localhost/pag/pagination.php?limit=$limit&page=$nextPage><b>Next</b></a>");
}

Something like this, output of the code below:
