Simple Pagination With PHP and MySQL

Simple Pagination With PHP and MySQL

When you have a large list of items ( search results, products list, blog articles ). Its better to display them grouped in pages and you can navigate from one page to another through navigational elements.
Its very easy to apply pagination. Its very basic tutorial to teach you how to apply pagination.

To display the limited records per page, you have to use mysql start and limit syntax. So you have to give start point and a limit. “Select * from table Limit {starting Point}, Limit”

For example

“Select * from post Limit 0, 5”

the records starting from 0 index of the table will be returned. As we have applied limit of 5, so five records from 0 index will be returned.

Database Table

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS `post` (
   `id` int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment,
   `title` varchar(255) NOT NULL,
   `detail` text NOT NULL,
   PRIMARY KEY  (`id`)
 )

 

Sample Data:

 

INSERT INTO `post` (`id`, `title`, `detail`)
 VALUES (NULL, 'Concept', 'Web Technologies'),
 (NULL, 'HTML', 'Basic HTML, Special Tags, Formatting Tags, HTML Forms'),
 (NULL, 'CSS', 'Basic CSS, Advanced Topics, '),
 (NULL, 'JAVASCRIPT', 'Syntax, Enable, Location, External, Operators, Variable'),
 (NULL, 'PHP BASIC PART1', 'Introduction To PHP'),
 (NULL, 'PHP Basic 2', 'Arrays and Array Functions'),
 (NULL, 'MySQL Basic', 'Introduction To MySQL'),
 (NULL, 'CMS', 'What is Joomla'),
 (NULL, 'XML', 'What is XML'),
 (NULL, 'PHP Date', 'What''s a timestamp'),
 (NULL, 'Files', 'Reading Files'),
 (NULL, 'JavaScript', 'Ajax Basics'),
 (NULL, 'File Formats', 'Creating PDF Files'),
 (NULL, 'MySQL Database Administrators', 'Understanding MySQL Table Types'),
 (NULL, 'PHP OOP', 'Understanding OOP Concepts');

config.php

You need to change host name, username, password, and database name.

$conn=mysqli_connect("localhost","root","","team44");

pagination.php
There are two portions, items to display and navigational elements.

<?php

require_once "config.php";

?>

  29. Hi,
    very useful code. it works well for me, but one error is coming.
    for eg: i am having a table with 19 rows.
    rows per page = 5
    then, it should show page1, page2, page3 by clicking the Next.
    but with this code, Next> in page3 is also showing clickable option, so the page4 is also opening. Please help with the code.

  34. When I add WHERE or ASC to $result I get
    Warning: mysqli_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_result, boolean given in C:\wamp\www\paginate\pagination.php on line 29

    My script is:

    $result = mysqli_query($conn, “SELECT * FROM `master_excel` ASC LIMIT $start, $perpage”);

    Works otherwise

  58. Thank you for this tutorial. However, I have noted that when fetching say 3000 records with a limit of 20 records per page, the page links are very many. Could you have a solution where we’d have something like :

    Prev 1 2 3 4 5 …56 57 58 59 60 Next

    Thank you.

  70. Great Tutorial! This PHP pagination tutorial have all the options. But I think it would be better if you add an option to change the total number of results. What do you think about it?

  71. Thanks Very much. I want to ask if there’s a way to get my query (that selects from the database table) out of the whole code and place it up. Thanks

  78. how can we create it completely dynamic pagination using just one method function?with dynmic $table, $field, for whole site?

  81. Hello,

    First, thanks for this pagination template. Second, I a beginner in php, so please, if you want to help would be of great help as I’m struggling with this for days and I really need help.
    I have a website that contain a table from a database and I have a php search form linked , using POST to insert some options via a dropdown box :
    if(isset($_POST[‘search’])) {
    $searchq = $_POST[‘search’];
    $query = mysqli_query($conn, “SELECT * FROM table WHERE colname LIKE ‘$searchq'”) or die (mysql_error());
    My result is not paginated so I tried to use your pagination file, only modifying the SELECT clauses. Unfortunately it’s not working as expected, if I put instead $searchq:
    the count works but only first page of results is shown, then going to page 2, it does not show anything, same for all next pages…, although there should be results in these following pages.
    Instead it works perfect when I put a text as ( ‘option’) instead and not using POST, but this is not what I want of course :
    SELECT * FROM ‘table’ WHERE ‘ colname = ‘ option ‘ Limit $start, $perpage”);
    Similar in the SELECT * count () as Total FROM ‘my table’ WHERE ‘ colname = ‘ option ‘

    What am I doing wrong ?
    I do not know if I made my self well understood, I am still learning. Thank you very much in advance, please contact me via email ([email protected]) if you need more details. Best regards
