Don't know the specific PHP functions but here's basically what I'd do

1. Read data into an array.
2. Get upper boundary of array. (Lower boundary is 0)
3. If key=0 then print >>
4. If key=upperboundary then print <<
5. Else print <a href ="[key-1]"> PREV </a>  |  <a href ="[key+1]"> NEXT </a>


>if ($offset > $prev) {
>    echo "<a href=" . $PHP_SELF . "?offset=" . ($offset - $maxshow) . "
>class=\"ext\"><<</a> ";

Could it be that the hardcoded unescaped "<<" and ">>" is causing the problem?

How about &lt;&lt; and &gt;&gt;

Or there's the laquo and raquo characters - &#171; and &#187; respectively.

regards.
