Dynamic Pagination

The pagination is a tool which help you to split large result sets over multiple pages.
The only thing that you must to do is to follow the next pattern:

<?php
…
$paginationObj = new pagination(total_limit);
$limit = $paginationObj->paginationGetLimit();

mysql query(variable $limit goes here)
…
$paginationObj->paginationCreatePages();
…
?>

Default values

total_limit:500
results per page:30
Number of pagination links:5

Note: works only with dynamic urls.(http://www.example.com/script.php?page=num or script.php?var=something&page=num etc)

class pagination
 {
  
   private $max_rows = 30;//MAXIMUM NUMBER OF DISPLAYING ITEMS
   private $max_num = 5;//MAXIMUM NUMBER OF NUMERIC LINKS
   private $limit;
   private $maxId;//TOTAL NUMBER OF ITEMS
   private $lastpage;
   private $page;
   private $url;
   private $match = "page=";

 
 public function __construct($maxId = null)
 {
   if(!$maxId)
   {
     $this->maxId = 500;
   }
   else
   {
     $this->maxId = $maxId;
   }
 }

 
 public function getPage()
 {
   return $this->page;
 }

 
 public function paginationGetLimit()
 {
   $this->page = isset($_GET['page']) ? strip_tags($_GET['page']) : 1;
   $this->lastpage = ceil($this->maxId / $this->max_rows);
   $this->page = (int)$this->page;

   if($this->page < 1)
