A simple php pagination class complete with example usage

Pagination

I hope you find this class useful. It is a simple class to implement and the example.php should provide you with all you need. Should you require more options take a look inside the class to find the defaults/optional arguments. You may use the provided set_up() method if you need to change the defaults.

Changing Defaults Example

$pagination_args = array(
	'page_get_var' 		=> 'the-page',
	'css_file_path'		=> YOUR_TEMPLATE_PATH . '/css/pagination.css'
);

Note: The included css is extremely lean and is just provided as an example.
To use it add your file path to $pagination_args['css_file_path']. Any file added to this path
will be included immediately before the output of $pagination->links as a style block.

Pagination::set_up( $pagination_args );

Form Example

$form_args = array(
	'method' 		=> 'POST', // Maybe if using ajax perhaps
	'options' 		=> array(40,50,60),
	'submit_text' 	=> 'Submit',
	'label' 		=> 'Items per page: '
);

echo $pagination->results_per_page_form( $form_args );

Database Query Example

// Pagination::set_up( array() ); // Optional

$result 			= $db->query( SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS data FROM table WHERE column = 'var' LIMIT ". Pagination::get_rows_per_page() ." OFFSET ". Pagination::get_offset() ." );

// Total records without LIMIT. Note: The main query must contain SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS
$found_rows_result 	= $db->query("SELECT FOUND_ROWS()");

$found_rows		 	= $found_rows_result->fetch_row();

$total_records	 	= $found_rows[0];

$pagination 		= new Pagination( $total_records );
