You should put a test in the for loop to see whether the displayed number is the number of the current page; if yes then you have to have a code for displaying that number (and no link), otherwise you display a link. It is hard to give a snippet of the code since you do not use very descriptive names for variables. I would use names like $current_page, $total_pages, etc and then it would be a bit easier.

I also suggest you use CSS styles for stylink links and current page number. It is more flexible and does not clutter the code.

There is a PEAR class called Pager that does all this for you neatly. Have alook at it:

http://pear.php.net/package/Pager/
http://www.alberton.info/pear_pager_tutorials.html

Maybe you can use it or have a look at the code.
