I have rows of data coming from database, I would like to have a table with a simple pagination, what is the easiest way of doing it?
I'd be glad if anyone could provide.
This is a mix of HTML and code but it's pretty basic, easy to understand and should be fairly simple to decouple to suit your needs I think.
try {
// Find out how many items are in the table
$total = $dbh->query('
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
table
')->fetchColumn();
// How many items to list per page
$limit = 20;
// How many pages will there be
$pages = ceil($total / $limit);
// What page are we currently on?
$page = min($pages, filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array(
'options' => array(
'default' => 1,
'min_range' => 1,
),
)));
// Calculate the offset for the query
$offset = ($page - 1) * $limit;
// Some information to display to the user
$start = $offset + 1;
$end = min(($offset + $limit), $total);
// The "back" link
$prevlink = ($page > 1) ? '« ‹' : '<span class="disabled">«</span> <span class="disabled">‹</span>';
// The "forward" link
$nextlink = ($page < $pages) ? '› »' : '<span class="disabled">›</span> <span class="disabled">»</span>';
// Display the paging information
echo '<div id="paging"><p>', $prevlink, ' Page ', $page, ' of ', $pages, ' pages, displaying ', $start, '-', $end, ' of ', $total, ' results ', $nextlink, ' </p></div>';
// Prepare the paged query
$stmt = $dbh->prepare('
SELECT
*
FROM
table
ORDER BY
name
LIMIT
:limit
OFFSET
:offset
');
// Bind the query params
$stmt->bindParam(':limit', $limit, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(':offset', $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
// Do we have any results?
if ($stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
// Define how we want to fetch the results
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$iterator = new IteratorIterator($stmt);
// Display the results
foreach ($iterator as $row) {
echo '<p>', $row['name'], '</p>';
}
} else {
echo '<p>No results could be displayed.</p>';
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '<p>', $e->getMessage(), '</p>';
}

It makes way more sense to break up your list into page-sized chunks, and only query your database one chunk at a time. This drastically reduces server processing time and page load time, as well as gives your user smaller pieces of info to digest, so he doesn't choke on whatever crap you're trying to feed him. The act of doing this is called pagination.
A basic pagination routine seems long and scary at first, but once you
close your eyes, take a deep breath, and look at each piece of the
script individually, you will find it's actually pretty easy stuff
The script:
// find out how many rows are in the table
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM numbers";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];
// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 10;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);
// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) {
// cast var as int
$currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage'];
} else {
// default page num
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
// set current page to last page
$currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
// set current page to first page
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// the offset of the list, based on current page
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;
// get the info from the db
$sql = "SELECT id, number FROM numbers LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
// while there are rows to be fetched...
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// echo data
echo $list['id'] . " : " . $list['number'] . "<br />";
} // end while

// get previous page num
$prevpage = $currentpage - 1;
// show < link to go back to 1 page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$prevpage'><</a> ";
} // end if
// loop to show links to range of pages around current page
for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) {
// if it's a valid page number...
if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) {

hey guys my English is not very good 'but i try to explain my self clear.
i'm creating pagination and all of my code is working perfect.
The problem is, that i want to display only five numbers of pages and on click on next button i hide one and showing new one. it's looks like that.
next 12345 prev
next 23456 prev
Thank's for advice guys.
Here is my code :
<?php
$dbh = new PDO("mysql:host=localhost;dbname=northwind", "root", "123");
$query = $dbh->prepare("SELECT ContactName FROM Customers");
$query->execute();
$numRows = $query->rowCount();
if (isset($_GET['pn'])) {
$pn = $_GET['pn'];
} else {
$pn = 1;
}
$startPage = 1;
$perPage = 9;
$lastPage = ceil($numRows / $perPage);
if ($pn < 1) {
$pn = 1;
} else if ($pn > $lastPage) {
$pn = $lastPage;
}
$controls = '';
if ($pn != $lastPage) {
$controls .= '<a id="next" href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?pn=' . ($pn + 1) . '"> next </a>';
}
for ($i=1; $i <= $lastPage; $i++) {
if ($i == $pn) {
$background = ' red;';
} else {
$background = ' green;';
}
$controls .= '<a id="page_' . $i . '" data-page="' . $i . '" class="num" style="background:' . $background . ' " href="' . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] . '?pn=' . $i . '"> ' . $i . '</a>';
}
if ($pn != $startPage) {
$controls .= ' prev ';
}
$controls .= "PAGE " . $pn . " of " . $lastPage ;
$limit = "LIMIT " . ($pn-1) * $perPage . ', ' . $perPage;
$query2 = $dbh->prepare("SELECT ContactName FROM Customers " . $limit . "");
$query2->execute();
$outputList = '';
while($row = $query2->fetch(PDO::FETCH_OBJ)){
$outputList .= '<h1>' . $row->ContactName . '</h1><hr />';
}
I would suggest you to use more easy approach.
Lets consider a page contains 25 results.
That means:
1st Page range is: 1-25
2nd Page range is: 26-50
and so on..
Now when a user request page 2, we should display him the results of 25-49. this means the results of (page-1)*25 till page*25-1 = results in 25-49.
Now all we need is how to tell the SQL to take those into consideration.
SELECT ContactName FROM Customers LIMIT 25 OFFSET 25;
Will produce use the desired result.
Now all you need is just pass the requested page with pn as you already did. And print the next 1-3(whatever) next\prev pages.
To know how many pages there are, just do another count sql query that will give you the result and divide it by 25.

I have rows of data coming from database, I would like to have a table with a simple pagination, what is the easiest way of doing it?
I'd be glad if anyone could provide.
This is a mix of HTML and code but it's pretty basic, easy to understand and should be fairly simple to decouple to suit your needs I think.
try {
// Find out how many items are in the table
$total = $dbh->query('
SELECT
COUNT(*)
FROM
table
')->fetchColumn();
// How many items to list per page
$limit = 20;
// How many pages will there be
$pages = ceil($total / $limit);
// What page are we currently on?
$page = min($pages, filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'page', FILTER_VALIDATE_INT, array(
'options' => array(
'default' => 1,
'min_range' => 1,
),
)));
// Calculate the offset for the query
$offset = ($page - 1) * $limit;
// Some information to display to the user
$start = $offset + 1;
$end = min(($offset + $limit), $total);
// The "back" link
$prevlink = ($page > 1) ? '« ‹' : '<span class="disabled">«</span> <span class="disabled">‹</span>';
// The "forward" link
$nextlink = ($page < $pages) ? '› »' : '<span class="disabled">›</span> <span class="disabled">»</span>';
// Display the paging information
echo '<div id="paging"><p>', $prevlink, ' Page ', $page, ' of ', $pages, ' pages, displaying ', $start, '-', $end, ' of ', $total, ' results ', $nextlink, ' </p></div>';
// Prepare the paged query
$stmt = $dbh->prepare('
SELECT
*
FROM
table
ORDER BY
name
LIMIT
:limit
OFFSET
:offset
');
// Bind the query params
$stmt->bindParam(':limit', $limit, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->bindParam(':offset', $offset, PDO::PARAM_INT);
$stmt->execute();
// Do we have any results?
if ($stmt->rowCount() > 0) {
// Define how we want to fetch the results
$stmt->setFetchMode(PDO::FETCH_ASSOC);
$iterator = new IteratorIterator($stmt);
// Display the results
foreach ($iterator as $row) {
echo '<p>', $row['name'], '</p>';
}
} else {
echo '<p>No results could be displayed.</p>';
}
} catch (Exception $e) {
echo '<p>', $e->getMessage(), '</p>';
}
Some of the tutorials I found that are easy to understand are:
http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorial/basic-pagination
It makes way more sense to break up your list into page-sized chunks, and only query your database one chunk at a time. This drastically reduces server processing time and page load time, as well as gives your user smaller pieces of info to digest, so he doesn't choke on whatever crap you're trying to feed him. The act of doing this is called pagination.
A basic pagination routine seems long and scary at first, but once you
close your eyes, take a deep breath, and look at each piece of the
script individually, you will find it's actually pretty easy stuff
The script:
// find out how many rows are in the table
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM numbers";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
$r = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$numrows = $r[0];
// number of rows to show per page
$rowsperpage = 10;
// find out total pages
$totalpages = ceil($numrows / $rowsperpage);
// get the current page or set a default
if (isset($_GET['currentpage']) && is_numeric($_GET['currentpage'])) {
// cast var as int
$currentpage = (int) $_GET['currentpage'];
} else {
// default page num
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// if current page is greater than total pages...
if ($currentpage > $totalpages) {
// set current page to last page
$currentpage = $totalpages;
} // end if
// if current page is less than first page...
if ($currentpage < 1) {
// set current page to first page
$currentpage = 1;
} // end if
// the offset of the list, based on current page
$offset = ($currentpage - 1) * $rowsperpage;
// get the info from the db
$sql = "SELECT id, number FROM numbers LIMIT $offset, $rowsperpage";
$result = mysql_query($sql, $conn) or trigger_error("SQL", E_USER_ERROR);
// while there are rows to be fetched...
while ($list = mysql_fetch_assoc($result)) {
// echo data
echo $list['id'] . " : " . $list['number'] . "<br />";
} // end while
/****** build the pagination links ******/
// range of num links to show
$range = 3;
// if not on page 1, don't show back links
if ($currentpage > 1) {
// show << link to go back to page 1
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=1'><<</a> ";
// get previous page num
$prevpage = $currentpage - 1;
// show < link to go back to 1 page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$prevpage'><</a> ";
} // end if
// loop to show links to range of pages around current page
for ($x = ($currentpage - $range); $x < (($currentpage + $range) + 1); $x++) {
// if it's a valid page number...
if (($x > 0) && ($x <= $totalpages)) {
// if we're on current page...
if ($x == $currentpage) {
// 'highlight' it but don't make a link
echo " [<b>$x</b>] ";
// if not current page...
} else {
// make it a link
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$x'>$x</a> ";
} // end else
} // end if
} // end for
// if not on last page, show forward and last page links
if ($currentpage != $totalpages) {
// get next page
$nextpage = $currentpage + 1;
// echo forward link for next page
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$nextpage'>></a> ";
// echo forward link for lastpage
echo " <a href='{$_SERVER['PHP_SELF']}?currentpage=$totalpages'>>></a> ";
} // end if
