CodeIgniter search input and pagination URL - php

Question

I want to create a URL containing string from search form and page from pagination
For example, my base URL is example.com/search
When showing the search result it will be example.com/search/?s=keyword and when showing the search result from next page it will be example.com/search/?s=term&p=2 for second page and so on
How to make it like that in CodeIgniter?

Answer 1

try this. here used page instead of p in URL
$keyword = trim($this->input->get('s', TRUE));
$this->load->library('pagination');
$config['total_rows'] = $this->db->get('table_name')->num_rows();
$config['per_page'] = 10;
$config['num_links'] = 5;
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
$config['use_page_numbers'] = TRUE;
$config['query_string_segment'] = 'page';
$config['page_query_string'] = TRUE;
$config['base_url'] = site_url('search/index/?s=' . $keyword);
$config['full_tag_open'] = '<ul class="pagination">';
$config['full_tag_close'] = '</ul>';
if ($this->input->get('page')) {
$sgm = (int) trim($this->input->get('page'));
$segment = $config['per_page'] * ($sgm - 1);
} else {
$segment = 0;
}
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
// your query
$query = $this->db->select('*')->from('table_name')->limit($config['per_page'], $segment)->get();
now your URL will be same as you mention in your question
