Simple PHP Pagination - No Database Required

DennisP 2 3K Views

The following snippet is a simple PHP Pagination Script which I wrote. As far as I know it works fine. It is meant to be used within a class, and I have wrapped in in a class in order to demonstrate it's usage.

The example given below will return something similar to the following:

Pages: [ 1 ]>>>

When there are a sufficient number of pages present, a Last Page link is added. When you navigate away from the first page, a previous page link is added. When you navigate past the second page, a first page link is added.

This code hasn't been tested all that much. It has worked fine for me, but I have only used it in limited situations and only in development. If you have any problems, please let me know.

<?php class display { function pagination($rows, $per_page, $current_page, $page_link) { global $core,$C; // Create a Page Listing $this->pages = ceil($rows / $per_page); // If there's only one page, return now and don't bother if($this->pages == 1) { return; } // Pagination Prefix $output .= "<!-- Pagination by Dennis Pedrie. Used by Permission -->"; $output = "Pages: "; // Should we show the FIRST PAGE link? if($current_page > 2) { $output .= "<a href=\"". $page_link ."?page=1/\" title=\"First Page\"><<</a>"; } // Should we show the PREVIOUS PAGE link? if($current_page > 1) { $previous_page = $current_page - 1; $output .= " <a href=\"". $page_link .">page=". $previous_page ."/\" title=\"Previous Page\"><</a>"; } // Current Page Number $output .= "<strong>[ ". $current_page ." ]</strong>"; // Should we show the NEXT PAGE link? if($current_page < $this->pages) { $next_page = $current_page + 1; $output .= "<a href=\"". $page_link ."?page=". $next_page ."/\" title=\"Next Page\">></a>"; } // Should we show the LAST PAGE link? if($current_page < $this->pages - 1) { $output .= " <a href=\"". $page_link ."?page=". $this->pages ."/\" title=\"Last Page\">>></a>"; } // Return the output. return $output; } } $display = new display; echo $display->pagination("45", "15", "1", "http://mysite.com/index.php"); ?>

you should change:

<a href=\"". $page_link ."?page=1/\" title=\"First Page\">[B]<<[/B]</a>

to

<a href=\"". $page_link ."?page=1/\" title=\"First Page\">[B]&lt;&lt;[/B]</a>

and so on with all other non-tag <'s and probably do the same with &gt; for any >'s

It'll output bad XHTML otherwise =P

I'm not sure I understand what defines a row on a page, or the limit of rows. Are these standard HTML table rows, or what?

you really need to add a way to copy your code from the text area. Its a real mess when copying it to notepad, the gutter and half the text on your page is included in the copy. lol

Double click, then copy from the editbox.
