Pagination pagelinks PHP algorithm

If you are making a pagination with adjacent links and are trying to figure out how to find out which number the links should start at, the algorithm below should help.

Case 1
Not enough pages, just show them all..
if (totalPages < adjacent*2)
[1]-2-3-4

Case 2
Almost at start, just start showing from beginning
true when currentPage - adjacent < 1
1-[2]-3-4-5-6 ..
starti = 1

Case 3
Almost reached the end, start showing till reached end
true when currentPage + adjacent > totalPages-1
.. 6-7-8-9-[10]-11
starti = currentPage-adjacent*2+(totalPages-currentPage)

Case 4
Not close to end or start, show even number of adjacent links on each side
true when none of above cases match
.. 2-3-[4]-5-6 ..
starti = currentPage-adjacent;


if ($this->totalPages <= $this->adjacent*2) {
$starti = 1;
$endi = $this->totalPages;
}
else if ($this->currentPage - $this->adjacent < 1) {
$starti = 1;
$endi = $this->adjacent*2;
}
else if ($this->currentPage + $this->adjacent > $this->totalPages-1) {
$starti = $this->currentPage - $this->adjacent*2 + ($this->totalPages-$this->currentPage);
$endi = $this->totalPages;
}
else {
$starti = $this->currentPage - $this->adjacent;
$endi = $this->currentPage + $this->adjacent;
}


Flash Builder Beta 2

Adobe... who's stupid idea was it to force users to "upgrade" to Beta 2?

If you've been getting this error trying to load a style SWF:
VerifyError: Error #1014: Class mx.modules::ModuleBase could not be found.

at flash.display::MovieClip/nextFrame()
at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/deferredNextFrame()[E:\dev\gumbo_beta2\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\FlexModuleFactory.as:574]
at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/update()[E:\dev\gumbo_beta2\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\FlexModuleFactory.as:402]
at mx.core::FlexModuleFactory/moduleCompleteHandler()[E:\dev\gumbo_beta2\frameworks\projects\framework\src\mx\core\FlexModuleFactory.as:652]

1] right click the project that contains the CSS file your compiling
2] goto Flex Build Path
3] Change framework linkage to merged
4] Click on the Flex 4.0.0 build path and Remove it
5] Click Add Flex SDK to readd it
6] Click ok to exit and re-clean your project

Hopefully this will fix your compiler bug.

Making a whos online script with Zend_Session_SaveHandler_DbTable

1] fetch rows from zend_session table where modifiedtime > time()-900
2] unserialize the data column using this function

function DecodeSession($sess_string)
{
// save current session data
// and flush $_SESSION array
$old = $_SESSION;
$_SESSION = array();

// try to decode passed string
$ret = session_decode($sess_string);
if (!$ret) {
// if passed string is not session data,
// retrieve saved (old) session data
// and return false
$_SESSION = array();
$_SESSION = $old;

return false;
}

// save decoded session data to sess_array
// and flush $_SESSION array
$sess_array = $_SESSION;
$_SESSION = array();

// restore old session data
$_SESSION = $old;

// return decoded session data
return $sess_array;
}

3] print out the username which should be stored in the session data, it'll look
something like
echo $session['data']['Namespace']['user']['username'];
