The Code

To start with you’ll see that we have our database connection file which we’re including into the page. Next you’ll see we’re setting three variables. ‘$tableName’, this refers to the table in your database that you want to get the data from, in our case it’s ‘countries_list’, ‘$targetpage’ refers to whatever you’ve saved the file as, in the case of the demo we’re saving the file as ‘index.php’. ‘$limit’ is the number of rows per page that we want to display from the database in the case of the demo you’ll see that we’re displaying just 10 rows.

Here are the main bullet points of what this file does in the simplest form.

• Set the three variables at the top of the page declaring our database table, document filename, and number of results to display per page
• Next we connect to the database and count the number of rows, so we know exactly how much data we’re dealing with
• As the current page number is passed as a GET variable we check to see if a page number has been passed if there isn’t one then we set it to the first page
• Then we have the query for the page content
• Now we work out the next and previous page number as well as the last page number
• Now we have a set of if statements, to determine which page the user is currently on relative to the total pages, so we can work out whether we need to display the first two page numbers with dots etc
• Finally we echo ‘$paginate’ which will display our page numbers
• Then we have our while loop which you can modify to suit your contents

A bit of style

Here’s the css to style you pagination

.paginate {
font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	padding: 3px;
	margin: 3px;
}

.paginate a {
	padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;
	margin:2px;
	border:1px solid #999;
	text-decoration:none;
	color: #666;
}
.paginate a:hover, .paginate a:active {
	border: 1px solid #999;
	color: #000;
}
.paginate span.current {
    margin: 2px;
	padding: 2px 5px 2px 5px;
		border: 1px solid #999;

		font-weight: bold;
		background-color: #999;
		color: #FFF;
	}
	.paginate span.disabled {
		padding:2px 5px 2px 5px;
		margin:2px;
		border:1px solid #eee;
		color:#DDD;
	}

	li{
		padding:4px;
		margin-bottom:3px;
		background-color:#FCC;
		list-style:none;}

	ul{margin:6px;
	padding:0px;}
