Pagination problem in search result
I am trying to paginate the search results, Here is the code that i'm using to look up for the search queries from user's form. I am getting search results paginated, but when i click 2 nd page of results it shows undefined index for those item posted...While gone through tutorials i have seen to use $_GET instead of $_POST ,after doing that chane also no improvement in results
As i am new to this php code, can you guys help or guide me in the right direction?
/////////////test.php//////////////////
mysqli_report(MYSQLI_REPORT_ERROR);
// number of results to show per page
$per_page = 2;
// figure out the total pages in the database
if ($result = $mysqli->query("SELECT * FROM bridegroom where Gender like '%$Name%' and Castest like'%$caste%' and Location like '%$location%' order by AGE"))
{
if ($result->num_rows != 0){
$total_results = $result->num_rows;
// ceil() returns the next highest integer value by rounding up value if necessary
$total_pages = ceil($total_results / $per_page);
if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']))
{
$show_page = $_GET['page'];
if ($show_page > 0 && $show_page <= $total_pages)
{
$start = ($show_page -1) * $per_page;
$end = $start + $per_page;

That is my code. The problem is that on my second page i have result of first $new variable .......................................................................................................................................................................
... i have a problem that on my second page i have result of first $new variable
That's because you're not including $new variable in the pagination links. So every time you go to 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ... page, you'll get the same $new value as 1, and that's because of this statement,
$new=(isset($_GET['year']) && $_GET['year']>0)?$_GET['year']:1 ;
Include this variable in the pagination links so that you could get it's value in the subsequent pages. So your pagination links section would be like this:
// your code
echo "<a href='index1.php?page=1&year=".$new."'>".'First Page'."</a>";
for ($i=1; $i<=$pages;$i++){
echo "<a href='index1.php?page=".$i."&year=".$new."'>".$i."</a> ";
}
echo "<a href='index1.php?page=".$pages."&year=".$new."'>Last page</a>";
for pagination use this code in file with name: view-paginated.php
$per_page = 10;
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM table");
$total_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
$total_pages = ceil($total_results / $per_page);
if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']))
{
$show_page = $_GET['page'];
if ($show_page > 0 && $show_page <= $total_pages)
{
$start = ($show_page -1) * $per_page;
$end = $start + $per_page;
}
else
{
$start = 0;
$end = $per_page;
}
}
else
{
$start = 0;
$end = $per_page;
}
echo "<p><a href='view.php'>show all</a> | <b>page:</b> ";
for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{
echo "<a href='view-paginated.php?page=$i'>$i</a> ";
}
for ($i = $start; $i < $end; $i++)
{
if ($i == $total_results) { break; }
echo mysql_result($result, $i, 'YOUR COLUMN') ;

I was able to create a working pagination system for my application. But the problem I am having is when a user does a search, it can/will display over 100 pages in the pagination.
I am trying to figure out how to show only like 5 on each side of the current page. I would like to create a FIRST page button, and a LAST page button, but I'll deal with that later.
So here is the first part of code that counts the records in the database table:
<?php
function countRecords()
{
// The application takes a lot of user input, which then builds a query here.
// The user input goes into a session variable called $_SESSION['where']
// I'll start with the actual query code
$sql = "SELECT COUNT(DISTINCT CONTAINER_NUMBER) AS TOTAL
FROM 'contTable'" . " WHERE (" . $_SESSION['where'] . ");";
$sqlres = #mysql_query($sql) or die();
$row = mysql_fetch_row($sqlres);
$return $row[0];
}
So code above gets the count from the table depending on the search criteria.
Here is the next piece of code that prints the grid. I'll keep it as short as possible:
function displayrecords()
{
$rec_limit = 100;
$targetpage = "containers.php";
if(isset($_GET['page']))
{
$page = $_GET['page'];
$offset = $rec_limit * ($page - 1);
}
else
{
$page = 1;
$offset = $rec_limit * ($page - 1);
}
$left_rec = countRecords() - ($page * $rec_limit);
$select = "";
$_SESSION['where'] = "";
// user input variables are here that build a variable called $_SESSION['where']
// I'll skip the code down to the query
if ($_SESSION['where'] != "") $select = "SELECT * FROM 'contTable'" . " WHERE
(" . $_SESSION['where'] . ") GROUP BY container, bol LIMIT " . $offset . ",
" . $rec_limit . ";";
}
Please excuse any typos or missing brackets and whatnot. Just know the above code works.
Now here is the code for the rest of the pagination:
$total_records = countRecords();
$total_pages = ceil($total_records / $rec_limit);
$adjacents = 5; // I just added this variable. I don't know what to do with it
$previousPage = $page - 1;
$nextPage = $page + 1;
$querystring = "";
foreach ($_GET as $key => $value)
{
if ($key != "page") $querystring .= "$key=$value&";
}
echo '<ul style="border: 0px solid red; margin: 3px;" class="pager">';
if ($left_rec < $rec_limit)
{
$last = $page - 2;
echo #"<li><a href=\"$targetpage?page=$previousPage&$querystring\">
Previous</a></li>";
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{
echo #"<li " . ((($page+1)==$i)? "class=\"active\"" : "") . ">
$i</li>";
}
}
else if ($page == 0)
{
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{
echo #"<li " . ((($page+1)==$i)? "class=\"active\"" : "") . ">
$i</li>";
}
echo #"<li>Next</li>";
}
else if ($page > 0)
{
$last = $page - 2;
echo #"<li><a href=\"$targetpage?page=$previousPage&$querystring\">
Previous</a></li> ";
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{
echo #"<li " . ((($page+1)==$i)? "class=\"active\"" : "") . ">
$i</li>";
}
echo #"<li>Next</li>";
}
echo '</ul>';
}
So, with all of the code above, I can display a grid, and display the pages at the bottom of the application. But I don't want to show all 100 pages, only 5 on each side of the current page. I know I need to utilize the variable called $adjacents and plug it in to the paging portion of the code. But I'm not exactly sure how to do it.
I hope I am being clear on my request.
Please help.
Instead of looping through all of the pages:
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
Try doing something like this:
$start = ($page < $adjacents ? 1 : $page - $adjacents);
$end = ($page > $total_pages - $adjacents ? $total_pages : $page + $adjacents);
for($i= $start; $i <= $end; $i++)
//Here you can loop through the numbers within adjacents of the current page
I'm having trouble with the follow PHP which paginates the results of a MySQL query.
When I go to webpagename.php with the first page of the results and click Previous, the browser changes to webpagename.php?page=-1 and shows the first page of results again. If I click Previous again, it changes to webpagename.php?page=-2 and shows Page 1 of the results again, etc.
When I go to webpagename.php with the first page of the results and click Next, the browser changes to webpagename.php?page=1 and shows the first page of results again. I then have to hit Next a second time to move to Page 2.
When I go to the last page of the results - Page 8 - and click Next, the browser changes to webpagename.php?page=9 and shows Page 1 of the results. If I click Next again, it shows webpagename.php?page=10 and shows Page 1 of the results again, etc.
Expected Results:
When on Page 1 and a user hits Previous, I would like the code to do nothing/not decrement. When on Page 8 - the last page of results, I would like the code to do nothing/not increment. Of course, I would also expect that if you hit Next from Page 1 that it doesn't display Page 1 a second time but rather goes to Page 2.
Your exact changes to this code to make it work properly are very much appreciated. Thank you for time.

//show previous div
}
if($show_page<$total_pages){ //this way next won't appear unless you are not at the last page
//show next div
}
Make a variable $page set it equal to $_GET['page'].
if(isset($_GET['page'])){
$page = $_GET['page'];
}
else{
$page = 1;
}
you need to put a condition before echoing previous link to check whether $_GET['page'] is set or not and is greater than 1.
Like this:
if($page!=($start+1)){
$prev = $page - 1;
echo "<div style='clear:both;height:1px;overflow: hidden;'></div>";
echo "<br /><a class='bodytxt5' href='webpagename.php?page=" . $prev . "'>Prev</a> ";
}
Add another condition for next
if($page!=$total_pages)
{
$next = $page+1
echo " <a class='bodytxt5' href='webpagename.php?page=" . $next . "'>Next</a> ";
echo "</div>";
}
I hope your issue is solved.

I'm goin to make a PHP pagination but i've some problem, in this i want to show 5 pages and 4 records per page. and if we click on next button then it shows the remaining page. And there are total 7 pages.
Since I couldn't really understand your code, here is something to get you started:
$items_per_page = 4;
/* Get the total number of records */
$result = mysqli_query("select count(*) as n from ...");
$row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($result);
$total_count = $row["n"];
/* Calculate the total number of pages */
$total_pages = ceil($total_count / $items_per_page);
/* Determine the current page */
$current_page = intval(#$_GET["page"]);
if(!$current_page || $current_page < 1) { $current_page = 1; }
if($current_page > $total_pages) { $current_page = $total_pages; }
/* Get the records for the current page */
$limit = $items_per_page;
$offset = ($current_page - 1) * $items_per_page;
$result = mysqli_query("select ... limit " . $offset . ", " . $limit);
To display the pagination links, use this:
for($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{
if($i > 1) { print(" | "); }
if($current_page == $i) { print($i); }
else { print('' . $i . ''; }
}
I am creating a page that lists celebrities on Twitter. The page displays 10 different results as it should for the first loop but it doesn't seem to update the $result to pull the next 10 values from the database (for the next set of pages etc).
<?php
// connect to the database
$con = mysql_connect("localhost","someuid","somepwd");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}
mysql_select_db("celebrity_twitter", $con);
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM celebrities");
// number of results to show per page
$per_page = 10;
$total_results = mysql_num_rows($result);
$total_pages = ceil($total_results / $per_page);
// check if the 'page' variable is set in the URL (ex: view-paginated.php?page=1)
if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']))
{
$show_page = $_GET['page'];
// make sure the $show_page value is valid
if ($show_page > 0 && $show_page <= $total_pages)
{
$start = ($show_page -1) * $per_page;
$end = $start + $per_page;
}
else
{
// error - show first set of results
$start = 0;
$end = $per_page;
}
}
else
{
// if page isn't set, show first set of results
$start = 0;
$end = $per_page;
}
// display data in table
echo "<table class='table table-striped'>";
echo "<tr> <th>Avatar</th> <th>Celebrity Name</th> </tr>";
// loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table

// echo out the contents of each row into a table
echo "<tr>";

echo "<td><a href=" . $row['url'] . " target='_blank'>" . $row['uid'] . "</td></a>";
echo "</tr>";
}
// close table>
echo "</table>";

for ($i = 1; $i <= $total_pages; $i++)
{

I'm using this at the moment and it's working perfectly fine for me, I hope it works for you too : PHP Pagination
You are not positioning yourself in the database, you always read the first elements:
// loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table
for($i = $start; $i < $end; $i++ && $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) )
{
// make sure that PHP doesn't try to show results that don't exist
if ($i == $total_results) { break; }
The proper way of doing this would be using the LIMIT clause of MySQL, with a special clause for recovering the true number of records
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM celebrities LIMIT $start, $resultsperpage;
SELECT FOUND_ROWS(); // This is number of celebrities
This means that you need to calculate $start "before" running the query, i.e., "before" you know whether $start is a valid start at all. So you have to prepare for the case in which no rows are returned.
A quick alternative, which is pretty wasteful, is to retrieve everything and display only wanted rows:
// loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table
for ($i = 0; $i < $total_results; $i++)
{
$row = mysql_fetch_array($result);
if ($i < $start) continue;
if ($i == $end) break;
LIMIT implementation
mysql_select_db("celebrity_twitter", $con);
// number of results to show per page
$per_page = 10;
// We REALLY ought to move on to PDO: mysql_* will be deprecated sooner or later
$query = mysql_query('SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS * FROM celebrities');
// check if the 'page' variable is set in the URL (ex: view-paginated.php?page=1)
if (isset($_GET['page']) && is_numeric($_GET['page']))
{
$show_page = (int)$_GET['page'];
// make sure the $show_page value is valid
if ($show_page > 0)
$start = ($show_page -1) * $per_page;
else
$start = 0;
$query .= " LIMIT $start, $per_page;";
$paged = True;
}
else
{
$paged = False;
// The query having no LIMIT, it will retrieve everything
// if (!$paged), later we will display a link "Show Paged".
}
// Now run the query
$result = mysql_query($query);
// Also fetch REAL number of rows in table {{{
$exec = mysql_query("SELECT FOUND_ROWS() AS results;");
$tuple = mysql_fetch_assoc($exec);
$results= $tuple['results'];
mysql_free_result($exec);
unset($exec, $tuple);
// }}}
// If paging, calculate page number. Later, if ($paged), we'll display the pager.
if ($paged)
{
$maxpages = ceil($results / $per_page);
if ($page > $maxpages)
$page = $maxpages+1; // We fetch nothing.
else
$page = floor($start / $per_page)+1;
}
// display data in table. It is best to calculate $html first
// and then output it all together at end if no error.
$html = "<table class='table table-striped'>";
$html .= "<tr> <th>Avatar</th> <th>Celebrity Name</th> </tr>";
// loop through results of database query, displaying them in the table
// Here, we get all and only good results, so we need not check anything
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))
{
// echo out the contents of each row into a table
$html .= "<tr>";
}
