Adding PHP pagination to search results - php

Question

How do i add PHP pagination to results coming from search query. I have tried here andhere but didn't seem to get how these works or should work with my code. I have written the search query before i thought of pagination cause i was using the load on scroll before. How do i make the results show paginated.
Below is my code to display searchresults.php.
if (isset($_GET["mainSearch"]))
{
$condition = '';
// $mainSearch = SQLite3::escapeString($_GET['mainSearch']);
$keyword = $_GET['mainSearch'];
$query = explode(" ", $keyword);
foreach ($query as $text)
{
$condition .= "question LIKE '%".SQLite3::escapeString($text)."%' OR answer LIKE '%".SQLite3::escapeString($text)."%' OR ";
}
$condition = substr($condition, 0, -4);
$order = " ORDER BY quiz_id DESC ";
$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE " . $condition . ' '. $order;
$sql_query_count = "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM questions WHERE " . $condition .' '. $order;
$result = $db->query($sql_query);
$resultCount = $db->querySingle($sql_query_count);
if ($resultCount > 0)
{
if ($result)
{
while ($row = $result->fetchArray(SQLITE3_ASSOC))
{
$wording = str_replace($text, "<span style='font-weight: bold;'>".$text."</span>", $row['answer']);
echo '<div class="quesbox_3">
<div class="questitle">
<h2>'.$row["question"].'</h2>
</div>
<div class="quesanswer">'.$wording.'</div>
</div>';
}
}
}
else
{
echo "No results found";
}
}
I was using this along side javascript to load more result on scroll
if (isset($_POST['limit']) && isset($_POST['start'])) {
$start = $_POST["start"];
$limit = $_POST["limit"];
$query =<<<EOF
SELECT * FROM questions ORDER BY quiz_id DESC LIMIT '$start', '$limit';
EOF;
// echo $query;
$result = $db->query($query);
while ($row = $result->fetchArray(SQLITE3_ASSOC)) {
echo '<div class="quesbox_2">
<div class="questitle">
<h2>'.$row["question"].'</h2>
</div>
<div class="quesanswer">'.$row["answer"].'</div>
<div class="quesdatetime"><img src="images/questime.png" alt="export question">'.$row["date"].'</div>
</div>';
}
}
How do i add pagination to my searchresults.php?
Thanks.

try this code without using jquery
<?php
if (isset($_GET["mainSearch"]))
{
$condition = '';
// $mainSearch = SQLite3::escapeString($_GET['mainSearch']);
$keyword = $_GET['mainSearch'];
$query = explode(" ", $keyword);
$perpageview=10;
if($_GET["pageno"]){
$page=$_GET["pageno"];
}else{
$page=1;
}
$frompage = $page*$perpageview-$perpageview;
foreach ($query as $text)
{
$condition .= "question LIKE '%".SQLite3::escapeString($text)."%' OR answer LIKE '%".SQLite3::escapeString($text)."%' OR ";
}
$condition = substr($condition, 0, -4);
$order = " ORDER BY quiz_id DESC ";
$sql_query = "SELECT * FROM questions WHERE " . $condition . ' '. $order.' LIMIT '.$frompage.','.$perpageview;
$sql_query_count = "SELECT COUNT(*) as count FROM questions WHERE " . $condition .' '. $order;
$result = $db->query($sql_query);
$resultCount = $db->querySingle($sql_query_count);
$pagecount = ceil($resultCount/$perpageview);
if ($resultCount > 0)
{
if ($result)
{
while ($row = $result->fetchArray(SQLITE3_ASSOC))
{
$wording = str_replace($text, "<span style='font-weight: bold;'>".$text."</span>", $row['answer']);
echo '<div class="quesbox_3">
<div class="questitle">
<h2>'.$row["question"].'</h2>
</div>
<div class="quesanswer">'.$wording.'</div>
</div>';
}
for ($i=1; $i <= $pagecount; $i++) {
echo ''.$i.'';
}
}
}
else
{
echo "No results found";
}
}
?>
