“Displaying X to Y of Z results” using Codeigniter pagination library?

Question

I am, using the Codeigniter pagination library,

I am wondering how I can grab the number of the first and last items displayed using the pagination class?

So

Answer 1

itachi's solution works great except you need to handle the case where the last page has less than $per_page elements.

if ($result_end > $total) {
    $result_end = $total;
}

Answer 2

In CodeIgniter Controller file

$params['limit'] = 15; $params['offset'] = ($this->input->get('per_page')) ? $this->input->get('per_page') : 0;

    $config = $this->config->item('pagination');
    $config['per_page'] = $params['limit'];
    $config['base_url'] = site_url('cy_controller/action?');

    $config['total_rows'] = $this->abcd_model->get_count($params);
    $this->pagination->initialize($config);
    $data['merchant'] = $this->abcd_model->get_all($params);
    $countMerchant = count($data['merchant']);
    if ($params['offset'] == 0) {
        $find_total_record = $countMerchant;
    } else {
        $valuec = $params['offset'] + $params['limit'];
        if ($valuec > $config['total_rows'])
            $find_total_record = $params['offset'] + $countMerchant;
        else
            $find_total_record = $params['offset'] + $params['limit'];
    }
    $per_page_total = $find_total_record;

    $initial = $params['offset'] == 0 ? 1 : $params['offset'];
    $data['showing'] = "Showing  " . $initial . " to " . $per_page_total . " of " . $config['total_rows'] . " results";


    $data['_view'] = 'cy_controller/action';
    $this->load->view('layouts/main', $data);

And in view file

 <div class="pull-left">
     <?php echo $showing; ?>
  </div>

Keeping it simple.

You need 3 variables. Result start, result end (in the page, not the whole) and total result.

1. You already know the total results (from the pagination). Let's call it $total.

2. so, now get the current page ($curpage) value from CI instance. Then,

   $result_start = ($curpage - 1) * $per_page + 1;
   if ($result_start == 0) $result_start= 1; // *it happens only for the first run*
   

3. for $result_end, you just need to add the per page value but considering it'll be 1 less,

   $result_end = $result_start+$per_page-1;
   
   if ($result_end < $per_page)   // happens when records less than per page  
       $result_end = $per_page;  
   else if ($result_end > $total)  // happens when result end is greater than total records  
       $result_end = $total;
   

4. send all those 3 values to view.

   echo "displaying $result_start to $result_end of $total";
