Undefined Offset Error on Previous/Next Array


The previous next links are working with the code below. However, when I get to the start or end of the array, my links produce an UNDEFINED OFFSET error. I have tried placing isset() but I don't get how to use it to stop at the start or end. I tried using an if / else if to measure the total array against the current page, but can't figure it out. Any help is greatly appreciate. Thank you.

<?php

$currentPage = array_search(current((object) array($keyword)), array_column($totalNodes, 'keyword'));

echo '<p>Current Page: ' . $currentPage . '</p>';

$nextPage = $totalNodes[$currentPage - 1]->keyword . PHP_EOL;
$nextTitle = $totalNodes[$currentPage - 1]->title . PHP_EOL;

$prevPage = $totalNodes[$currentPage + 1]->keyword . PHP_EOL;
$prevTitle = $totalNodes[$currentPage + 1]->title . PHP_EOL;

?>

<p>
<a href="/blog/<?= $nextPage ?>">Next</a>
   <a href="/blog/<?= $nextPage ?>"><?= $nextTitle ?></a>
</p>

<p>
   <a href="/blog/<?= $prevPage ?>">Prev</a>
   <a href="/blog/<?= $prevPage ?>"><?= $prevTitle ?></a>
</p>

Solution

  • If the problem is that you are accessing a position that does not exist you could try array_key_exists():

    if (array_key_exists($currentPage - 1, $totalNodes)) {
        // the previous index exist
    }
    
    if (array_key_exists($currentPage + 1, $totalNodes)) {
        // the next index exist
    }
