Dynamic Pagination in PHP and MySQL

Step 1: Let’s included all js and css files into the head section of index.html file.

<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>
<script type="text/javascript" src="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.5/js/bootstrap.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/simplePagination.css" />
<script src="dist/jquery.simplePagination.js"></script>

Step 2: Created connection file db.php and paste below code to create database 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 list and pagination link.

    <table class="table table-bordered table-striped">  
    <thead>  
    <tr>  
    <th>Name</th>  
    <th>Salary</th>
    <th>Age</th>  
    </tr>  
    </thead>  
    <tbody id="target-content">
    </tbody> 
    </table>
    <nav><ul class="pagination">
    <?php if(!empty($total_pages)):for($i=1; $i<=$total_pages; $i++):  
                if($i == 1):?>
                <li class='active'  id="<?php echo $i;?>"><a href='pagination.php?page=<?php echo $i;?>'><?php echo $i;?></a></li> 
                <?php else:?>
                <li id="<?php echo $i;?>"><a href='pagination.php?page=<?php echo $i;?>'><?php echo $i;?></a></li>
            <?php endif;?>          
    <?php endfor;endif;?>
    </ul></nav>

Here, we have created a blank HTML table list, Also added first time records using onInit method.

Step 4: Call simple Pagination 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 : 1,
                    onPageClick : function(pageNumber) {
                        jQuery("#target-content").html('loading...');
                        jQuery("#target-content").load("pagination.php?page=" + pageNumber);
                    },
                    onInit :function() {
                        jQuery("#target-content").html('loading...');
                        jQuery("#target-content").load("pagination.php?page=1");
                    }
                });
            });
        </script>
    

Here, We are calling onInit method to fill first time records into the table when the page loaded, Next time, we are calling onPageClick method and render rows of data into tbody of table.

Step 5: The pagination.php file use to fetch records from database and bind with tr and return html to pagination ajax method.

<?php
include('db.php');

if (isset($_GET["page"])) { $page  = $_GET["page"]; } else { $page=1; };  
$start_from = ($page-1) * $limit;  
  
$sql = "SELECT * FROM employee ORDER BY id ASC LIMIT $start_from, $limit";  
$rs_result = mysqli_query($conn, $sql); 
?>

<?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  
};  
?>
