Hey all, well i thought i would now write a advance pagination. After racking my brain for awhile i finally figured out a nice class script for creating one.
This class will display the results of any MySQL table including all the fields and rows. It will work out how many fields there are and display the results accordingly.
You can view a demo
HERE
When changing the table in the demo if you change to CD list and go through them it like pressing number 2 or next it will go back to DVD's as this is a class tutorial. Was mainly to show you that it works
Start:
PHP Code:
class pagination{
}
Firstly we need to get up some variables.
PHP Code:
var $p=1, $max_r,$limits;
var $count_all=0,$sql,$total,$table,$totalres,$totalpages;
var $r,$i;
var $show=10;
Now we need to start setting up some functions. First one of course is our MySQL connect function
PHP Code:
function connect($host,$username,$password,$name){
$connectect = mysql_connect($host, $username, $password) or die(mysql_error());
$selected = mysql_select_db($name) or die(mysql_error());
}
Now we have done that we need to create a function to set the maxium number of posts to be displayed on each page. I have also included working out the limits and maximum values ready for the query.
PHP Code:
function setMax($max_r){
$this->p = $_GET['p'];
$this->max_r = $max_r;
if(empty($this->p))
{
$this->p = 1;
}
$this->limits = ($this->p - 1) * $this->max_r;
}
Now that we have done that we can start with the quires and setting the data.
PHP Code:
function setData($table){
$this->table = $table;
$this->sql = "SELECT * FROM ".$this->table." LIMIT ".$this->limits.",".$this->max_r."";
$this->sql = mysql_query($this->sql) or die(mysql_error());
$this->total = "SELECT * FROM ".$this->table."";
$this->totalres = mysql_query($this->total) or die(mysql_error());
$this->count_all = mysql_num_rows($this->totalres); // count all the rows
$this->totalpages = ceil($this->count_all / $this->max_r); // work out total pages
}
Ok now comes the interesting and clever part. We now need to display the table. There are a couple of things we need to take into account here. We need to know how many fields there are in the table we are using and also how many rows and display them nicely.
PHP Code:
function display(){
echo "<b>Total Values(s):</b>".$this->count_all."<br><br>";
echo "<b>Page:</b> ".$this->p."<br>";
$fields=mysql_num_fields($this->totalres); // workout number of fields
echo "<table border=1 width=100%><tr>";
for ($i=0; $i < mysql_num_fields($this->sql); $i++) //Table Header
{
print "<th>".mysql_field_name($this->sql, $i)."</th>"; //display field name
}
echo "</tr>";
while ($row = mysql_fetch_row($this->sql))
{
echo "<tr>";
for ($f=0; $f < $fields; $f++)
{
echo "<td>$row[$f]</td>";
}
echo "</tr>\n";
}
echo "</table><p>";
}
Now all we want to do now is display the links.
PHP Code:
function displayLinks($show){
$this->show = $show; // How many links to show
echo "<br><br>";
if($this->p > 1) // If p > then one then give link to first page
{
echo "<a href=?p=1> [FIRST] </a> ";
}
else
{ // else show nothing
echo "";
}
if($this->p != 1)
{ // if p aint equal to 1 then show previous text
$previous = $this->p-1;
echo "<a href=?p=$previous> [ PREVIOUS ] </a>";
}
else
{ //else show nothing
echo "";
}
for($i =1; $i <= $this->show; $i++) // show ($show) links
{
if($this->p > $this->totalpages)
{ // if p is greater then totalpages then display nothing
echo "";
}
else if($_GET["p"] == $this->p)
{ //if p is equal to the current loop value then dont display that value as link
echo $this->p ;
}
else{
echo " <a href=?p=".$this->p."> ( ".$this->p.") </a>"; // else display the rest as links
}
$this->p++; //increment $p
}
echo "....."; // display dots
if($_GET["p"] == $this->totalpages)
{// if page is equal to totalpages then dont display the last page at the end of links
echo "";
}
else // else display the last page link after other ones
{
echo "<a href=?p=".$this->totalpages."> ( ".$this->totalpages.") </a>";
}
if($_GET["p"] < $this->totalpages)// if p is less then total pages then show next link
{
$next = $_GET["p"] + 1;
echo "<a href=?p=$next> [ NEXT >] </a>";
}
echo "<br><br>";
}
Thats the class now finished. All we want to do now is start displaying it and creating the instance.
PHP Code:
$page= new pagination;
$page->connect("host","username","password","dbname");
$page->setMax(25); // 25 being number of results to be displaued
$page->setData("tablename");
$page->display();
$page->displayLinks(5); // 5 being number of links to display
This is my brushing up on my classes haha.
