Detailed explanation of PHP pagination code (with examples)

// Establish database connection
$link = mysql_connect("localhost", "mysql_user", "mysql_passWord")
 or die("Could not connect: " . mysql_error ());
// Get the current page number
if( isset($_GET['page']) ){
 $page = intval( $_GET['page'] );
}
else{
 $page = 1;
}
//Number of pages per page
$PageSize = 10;
//Get the total amount of data
$sql = "select count(*) as amount from table";
$result = mysql_query($sql);
 $row = mysql_fetch_row($result);
$amount = $row['amount'];
// Calculate how many pages there are in total
if( $amount ){
 if( $amount < $page_size ){ $page_count = 1; } //If the total data amount is less than $PageSize, then there is only one page
 if( $amount % $page_size ){ //Take the remainder of the total data amount divided by the number of pages per page
 $page_count = (int)($ amount / $page_size) + 1; //If there is a remainder, the number of pages is equal to the total data amount divided by the number of pages, rounded up and plus one
 }else{
 $page_count = $amount / $page_size; //If If there is no remainder, the number of pages is equal to the total data amount divided by the number of each page
 }
}
else{
 $page_count = 0;
}
// Page turning link
$page_string = '';
if( $page == 1 ){
 $page_string .= 'First page|Previous page|';
}
else{
 $page_string .= 'First page |Previous page|';
}
if( ($page == $page_count) || ($page_count == 0) ){
 $page_string .= 'next page|last page';
}
else{
 $page_string .= '|Last page';
}
// Get data and return the result in two-dimensional array format
if( $amount ){
 $sql = "select * from table order by id desc limit ". ($page-1)*$page_size .", $page_size";
 $result = mysql_query($sql);< ;/p>
 while ( $row = mysql_fetch_row($result) ){
 $rowset[] = $row;
 }
}else{
 $rowset = array();
}
// None Contains the code for displaying the results, which is beyond the scope of the discussion. As long as you use foreach, you can easily display the results using the obtained two-dimensional array

4. OO style code Database connections are handled using the pear db class.

// FileName: Pager.class.php
// Paging class, this class is only used to process data structures and is not responsible for processing display
Class Pager
{
 var $PageSize; //Number of each page
 var $CurrentPageID; //Current page number
 var $NextPageID; //Next page
 var $PreviousPageID; //Previous page
 var $numPages; //Total number of pages
 var $numItems; //Total number of records
 var $isFirstPage; //Whether it is the first page
 var $isLastPage; //Whether it is the last page
 var $sql; //sql query statement
< p> function Pager($option)
 {
 global $db;
 $this->_setOptions($option);
 // Total number of items
 if ( !isset($this->numItems) )
 {
 $res = $db->query($this->sql);
 $this->numItems = $res->numRows();
 }
 // Total number of pages
 if ( $this-> ;numItems > 0 )
 {
 if ( $this->numItems < $this->PageSize ){ $this->numPages = 1; }
 if ( $this->numItems % $this- >PageSize )
 {
 $this->numPages= (int)($this->numItems / $this->PageSize) + 1;
 }
 else
 {
 $this->numPages = $ this->numItems / $this->PageSize;
 }
 }
 else
 {
 $this->numPages = 0;
 }
 switch ( $this-> CurrentPageID )
 {
 case $this->numPages == 1:
 $this->isFirstPage = true;
 $this->isLastPage = true;
 break;
 case 1:
 $this->isFirstPage = true;
 $this->isLastPage = false;
 break;
 case $this->numPages:
 $this->isFirstPage = false;
 $this->isLastPage = true;
 break;
 default :
 $this->isFirstPage = false;
 $this->isLastPage = false;
 }
 if ( $this->numPages > 1 )
 {
 if ( !$this->isLastPage ) { $this->NextPageID = $this->CurrentPageID + 1; }
 if ( !$this->isFirstPage ) { $this->PreviousPageID = $this-> CurrentPageID - 1; }
 }
 return true;
 }

 function getDataLink()

Call example:
// FileName: test_pager.php
// The code to establish a database connection using the pear db class is omitted
require "Pager .class.php";
if ( isset($_GET['page']) )
{
 $page = (int)$_GET['page'];
}
else
{
 $page = 1;
 }
$sql = "select * from table order by id";
$pager_option = array(
 "sql" => $sql,
 "PageSize" => 10,
 "CurrentPageID" => $page
 );
if ( isset($_GET['numItems']) )
{
 $pager_option['numItems'] = (int)$_GET['numItems'];
}
$pager = @new Pager($pager_option );
$data = $pager->getPageData();
if ( $pager->isFirstPage )
{
 $turnover = "Homepage|Previous Page|";
}
else
{
 $turnover = "Homepage|Previous Page|";
}
if ( $pager->isLastPage )
{
 $turnover .= "Next Page |Last page";
}
else
{
 $turnover .= "|Last page}
?>

to explain two points: This class only processes data and is not responsible for display, because I think it is a bit reluctant to put both data processing and result display into one class. When displaying, the situation and requirements are changeable. It is better to process it according to the results given by the class. A better way is to inherit a subclass of its own based on the Pager class to display different paginations, such as displaying the user pagination list:

Class MemberPager extends Pager
{
 function showMemberList()
 {
 global $db;
 $data = $this- >getPageData();
// Code to display results
 // ......
 }
}
/// Call
if ( isset($_GET['page']) )
{
 $page = (int)$_GET['page'];
}
else
{
 $page = 1;
}
$sql = "select * from members order by id";
$pager_option = array(
 "sql" => $sql,
 "PageSize" => 10,
 "CurrentPageID" => $page
);
if ( isset($_GET['numItems']) )
{
 $pager_option['numItems' ] = (int)$_GET['numItems'];
}
$pager = @new MemberPager($pager_option);
$pager->showMemberList();
?>

Note: Due to the compatibility of different databases, the way to write a section of results in different databases is different. mysql: select * from table limit offset, rows pgsql: select * from table limit m offset n ... Therefore, when obtaining results in the class, you need to use the limitQuery method of the pear db class.
