Php pagination with limited displayed pages-CodePudding

I'm trying to do some pagination in PHP over an array. Everything works, my pagination gives me the right amount of pages. But my nav displays all the pages required in order to go at the end of the array, like this :

I would like to define a limit of pages available in the nav, like only 5 pages. With the possibility for the nav to keep iterating, keeping those 5 links up, but going from page 1 to page 20. Can you help me pls ?

<nav>
        <ul >
            <li disabled" : "" ?>">
                <a href="./?page=<?= $currentPage - 1 ?>" >Previous</a>
            </li>

            <?php for ($pagesNumber = 1; $pagesNumber <= $pagesMax; $pagesNumber  ) : ?>
                <li active" : "" ?>">
                    <a href="./?page=<?= $pagesNumber ?>" ><?= $pagesNumber ?></a>
                </li>
            <?php endfor ?>

            <li disabled" : "" ?>">
                <a href="./?page=<?= $currentPage   1 ?>" >Next</a>
            </li>
        </ul>
    </nav>
