Answer 1

for people checking this in 2013, get_previous_post has been depreciated.

http://codex.wordpress.org/Next_and_Previous_Links http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/previous_post

I used to use this :/

if(get_next_post()) { echo 'next'; }
if(get_previous_post()) { echo 'last'; }

But now I use this :)

if(get_next_posts_link()) { echo 'next'; }
if(get_previous_posts_link()) { echo 'last'; }
