"Displaying X to Y of Z results" using Codeigniter pagination library? - php

Question

I am, using the Codeigniter pagination library,
I am wondering how I can grab the number of the first and last items displayed using the pagination class?
So, if I had 12 results, and per_page was set to 5. I would want
Page 1: Displaying 1 to 5 of 12 results
Page 2: Displaying 6 to 10 of 12 results
Page 3: Displaying 11 to 12 of 12 results.

Answer 1

Keeping it simple.
You need 3 variables. Result start, result end (in the page, not the whole) and total result.
You already know the total results (from the pagination). Let's call it $total.
so, now get the current page ($curpage) value from CI instance. Then,
$result_start = ($curpage - 1) * $per_page + 1;
if ($result_start == 0) $result_start= 1; // *it happens only for the first run*
for $result_end, you just need to add the per page value but considering it'll be 1 less,
$result_end = $result_start+$per_page-1;
if ($result_end < $per_page) // happens when records less than per page
$result_end = $per_page;
else if ($result_end > $total) // happens when result end is greater than total records
$result_end = $total;
send all those 3 values to view.
echo "displaying $result_start to $result_end of $total";

Answer 2

itachi's solution works great except you need to handle the case where the last page has less than $per_page elements.
if ($result_end > $total) {
$result_end = $total;
}

In CodeIgniter Controller file
$params['limit'] = 15;
$params['offset'] = ($this->input->get('per_page')) ? $this->input->get('per_page') : 0;
$config = $this->config->item('pagination');
$config['per_page'] = $params['limit'];
$config['base_url'] = site_url('cy_controller/action?');
$config['total_rows'] = $this->abcd_model->get_count($params);
$this->pagination->initialize($config);
$data['merchant'] = $this->abcd_model->get_all($params);
$countMerchant = count($data['merchant']);
if ($params['offset'] == 0) {
$find_total_record = $countMerchant;
} else {
$valuec = $params['offset'] + $params['limit'];
if ($valuec > $config['total_rows'])
$find_total_record = $params['offset'] + $countMerchant;
else
$find_total_record = $params['offset'] + $params['limit'];
}
$per_page_total = $find_total_record;
$initial = $params['offset'] == 0 ? 1 : $params['offset'];
$data['showing'] = "Showing " . $initial . " to " . $per_page_total . " of " . $config['total_rows'] . " results";
$data['_view'] = 'cy_controller/action';
$this->load->view('layouts/main', $data);
And in view file
<div class="pull-left">
<?php echo $showing; ?>
</div>
