I know this a silly question, but I can't figure out if it's even

This produces a very nifty pagination - the problem is how to get
rid of
the final pages that show up as greater than what is available. The
script above works fine, except it leaves that final | ...
Any simple solutions?
Do it differently... build an array of the appropriate entries. When
done, use implode( ' | ', $yourArray ).
Cheers,
Rob.
Hate to disappoint you all, but I finally found the errant | .
Ridiculous, really, that I bothered you all.
it's in the line indicated above --- echo " | ... " --- lose the | and
it all works like a charm.
:-) ;-)
You didn't disappoint me... I've seen code like that before, I just
thought you'd benefit from a cleaner approach instead of the above mess.
Actually, as I am new to this, I still have another little glitch which
is a pita. Oh, I know it's a bit of a mess; I have a hard time
following, myself. But, being lazy, I'm trying to fix thigs with a
band-aid. :-(
But I don't understand how I would "build an array of the appropriate
entries"... what entries do you mean?
You have links, each separated by the pipe '|' character. Add each link
to a links array:
<?php
$links = array();
foreach( $items as $item )
{
$links[] = '<a href="#">'.$item.'</a>';
}
echo implode( ' | ', $links );
?>
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
Rob.
