php sample script for pagination [closed]

Answer 1

This isn't hard to do. Here's a recipe for a quick & simple system:

1. Do the SELECT query, add the clause LIMIT PERPAGE*(PAGENUM-1),PERPAGE Note that the all in caps variables could be GET parameters to your script.

2. Find the total number of results for your SELECT query if there wasn't a LIMIT clause (there are methods to do this, for instance, MySQL's SELECT "SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM . . .", which would be integrated into #1.) Call this N

3. Display to the user the data, along with "Showing items PERPAGE*(PAGENUM-1)+1 to PERPAGE*PAGE of N"

I would post an example, but my queries and DB handle are handled elsewhere in my code.
