Codeigniter pagination - display without last record - php

Question

I have been searching for long time but I'm new in CI so it's really hard to find the answer.
So here is the problem: I want to get all of my records without the last one from the database using CI pagination ... I know that I need to do something with my model but I don't know what :/ This is how it looks like:
public function get_results($search_term = 'default', $offset = 0, $limit = 0) {
$this->db->select('SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS id,blog_time,blog_title,blog_text,image', false);
$this->db->from('blog');
$this->db->like('blog_title', $search_term);
$this->db->or_like('blog_text', $search_term);
$this->db->order_by('blog_time', 'DESC');
$this->db->limit($limit, $offset);
$data = $this->db->get()->result();
$count = $this->db->query('SELECT FOUND_ROWS() count;')->row()->count;
return array('data' => $data, 'count' => $count);
}

Answer 1

You will need to modify the Model code to this:
public function get_results($search_term = 'default', $offset = 0, $limit = 0) {
$this->db->select('SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS id,blog_time,blog_title,blog_text,image', false);
$this->db->from('blog');
$this->db->like('blog_title', $search_term);
$this->db->or_like('blog_text', $search_term);
$this->db->order_by('blog_time', 'DESC');
$this->db->limit($limit, $offset);
$data = $this->db->get()->result();
$count = $this->db->query('SELECT FOUND_ROWS() count;')->row()->count;
return array('data' => $data, 'count' => $count -1);
}
We simply added -1 to the $count.

Answer 2

you can use the unset function of php
for your result
unset($result[0]);
as you are using descending last record will come first
and in your count
$count = $count-1;
