Step 1: included all js and css files.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf8" src="http://ajax.aspnetcdn.com/ajax/jQuery/jquery-2.0.3.js"></script>

Step 2: Created connection with MySQL using PHP.

    $servername = "localhost";
    $username = "root";
    $password = "";
    $dbname = "test";

    $conn = mysqli_connect($servername, $username, $password, $dbname) or die("Connection failed: " . mysqli_connect_error());
    /* check connection */
    if (mysqli_connect_errno()) {
        printf("Connect failed: %s\n", mysqli_connect_error());
        exit();
    } 
    

Step 3: Created HTML table with MySQL records.

    <table class="table table-bordered">  
        <thead>  
        <tr>  
        <th>Name</th>  
        <th>Salary</th>
        <th>Age</th>  
        </tr>  
        </thead>  
        <tbody>  
        <?php  
        while ($row = mysqli_fetch_assoc($rs_result)) {
        ?>  
                    <tr>  
                    <td><?php echo $row["employee_name"]; ?></td>  
                    <td><?php echo $row["employee_salary"]; ?></td>  
                    <td><?php echo $row["employee_age"]; ?></td>  
                    </tr>  
        <?php  
        };  
        ?>  
        </tbody>  
        </table>
          
        <?php  
        $sql = "SELECT COUNT(id) FROM employee";  
        $rs_result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql);  
        $row = mysqli_fetch_row($rs_result);  
        $total_records = $row[0];  
        $total_pages = ceil($total_records / $limit);  
        $pagLink = "<nav><ul class='pagination'>";  
        for ($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++) {  
                     $pagLink .= "<li><a href='index.php?page=".$i."'>".$i."</a></li>";  
        };  
        echo $pagLink . "</ul></nav>";  
        ?>

Step 4: Call simplePagination methods on pagination container.

        <script type="text/javascript">
            $(document).ready(function(){
            $('.pagination').pagination({
                    items: <?php echo $total_records;?>,
                    itemsOnPage: <?php echo $limit;?>,
                    cssStyle: 'light-theme',
                    currentPage : <?php echo $page;?>,
                    hrefTextPrefix : 'index.php?page='
                });
                });
            </script>
