Need to add "Go to last page" in this pager

I am trying to add "Go to first page" and "Go to last page" in this code. Obviously "Go to first page" isn't an issue, but I am not sure I know how to make it do "Go to last page".

    for($j=$ini;$j<$end;$j++)if(isset($entries[1][$j]))echo str_replace($ovo,$sovim,$entries[1][$j]);
    if($maxp>-1){
        echo '<p>'.strstr($fcontent,'<!--').' <div class="pager"> '; $gap = "";
        for($j=0;$j<$maxp+1;$j++){
            if($j==0||$j==$maxp||($j-$page)*($j-$page)<26){
                echo $gap; $gap = "";
                if($j!=$page)echo " <a href=\"?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p=".$j.$si."\"><span class=\"pagerlink\">".($j+1)."</span></a> " ;
                else echo " <span class=\"current\">".($j+1)."</span> " ;
            }
            else $gap = "...</div>"; 
        }
        echo '</p>';
    }
}

@sarahk do you mind checking your code again? It goes into a blank page. I am wondering if there's an extra ' or " somewhere or maybe something isn't closed properly.

 

Actually I simplified it, seems to be working:

    for($j=$ini;$j<$end;$j++)if(isset($entries[1][$j]))echo str_replace($ovo,$sovim,$entries[1][$j]);
    if($maxp>-1){
        echo '<p></p>'.strstr($fcontent,'<!--').' <div class="pager"> '; $gap = "";

echo " <a href=\"?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p=0\"><span class=\"pagerlink\">First</span></a> ";

        for($j=0;$j<$maxp+1;$j++){
            if($j==0||$j==$maxp||($j-$page)*($j-$page)<5){


                echo $gap; $gap = "";
                if($j!=$page)echo " <a href=\"?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p=".$j.$si."\"><span class=\"pagerlink\">".($j+1)."</span></a> " ;
                else echo " <span class=\"current\">".($j+1)."</span> " ;
            }
            else $gap = "...";
        }
        echo "<a href=\"?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p={$maxp}\"><span class=\"pagerlink\">Last</span></a></div>";
    }
}

And that's the part I didn't know how to get in there. Thanks for showing me how. And the escaping part doesn't bother me. I just needed a quick fix...

 

Well... I cleaned it up a bit (you really need to learn the difference between single and double quotes )

for ($j = $ini; $j < $end; $j++) {
  if (isset($entries[1][$j])) {
    echo str_replace($ovo,$sovim,$entries[1][$j]);
  }
  if ($maxp > -1) {
    echo '<p></p>'.strstr($fcontent,'<!--').' <div class="pager">';
    $gap = '';
    echo '<a href="?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p=0" class="pagerlink">First</a>';

  for ($j = 0; $j < $maxp+1; $j++) {
    if ( $j == 0 || $j == $maxp || ($j - $page)*($j - $page) < 5) {
      echo $gap;
      $gap = '';
      if ($j != $page) {
        echo '<a href="?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p='.$j.$si.'" class="pagerlink">'.($j+1).'</a>';
      } else {
        echo '<span class="current">'.($j+1).'</span>';
      }
    } else {
      $gap = '...</div>';
    }
  }
  echo '<a href="?view=page&pagename=updatemain&p='.{$maxp}.'" class="pagerlink">Last</a>';
  }
}

PHP:

Also, mixing using the curly brackets and not using them leaves a mess. The same does the different formatting from almost line to line. Also, why do you have the span inside the <a>-tag? There's no need for it, unless you're doing something weird - just put the class on the a-tag. And... the empty <p></p> before the start of the <div>... what's that for?

 

Good points, will clean it up later. I just found the code I needed and wanted to get it working first like I wanted it to. Thank you for your code.

PS it's always hard for me to set a best answer when both people gave me really good solutions. So I'll just leave it at that. Yay! Everyone wins!

 

Spacebar must be broken.
