Search with pagination [duplicate]

Answer 1

Pages will have URL like example.com/search/term/?page=2 (or example.com/search.php?term=xyz&page=2, doesn't matter if you redirect URLs or not).

In PHP then will be something like:

$pagelimit = 10; // records per page
$page = isset($_GET['page']) ? (int)$_GET['page'] : 1; // set current page

And LIMIT with OFFSET in your SQL query:

$sql = "SELECT * 
        FROM municipality 
        WHERE province_id LIKE '%$search_term%' 
        LIMIT " . ($page - 1) * $pagelimit . ", " . $pagelimit;
